Following this thread with interest.
I will be setting out from Sarria, or maybe Barbadelo, on 24th April with the aim of arriving in Santiago on the 30th, my 60th birthday.
(Actually, I think I may get into the city the day before and then get my compostela and go to the cathedral on my birthday.)
I will be joined in the city by several friends and family members (some may walk with me for all or part of the 100km).
I have already reserved rooms at Hotel Costa Vella because it's a holiday weekend, but I am wondering how busy the Camino is likely to be that last week of April and whether I should be thinking about making reservations along those 100km.
