Hola!
I along with other 3 fellow pilgrims from Mexico, the USA and the UK will be starting el camino via bike on 8/2 - hoping to arrive by 8/7. Currently in Andalusia visiting friends.
Very excited about it, especially since it's been a strange journey to get this far! Been planning this for 13 months and won't believe its real until I'm on the bike and see my first route marker!
My question, especially for those currently on the camino, is: (1) how "busy" is the route? I heard this is the busiest time of the year, and my companions and I are worried that 4 cyclists will be worrisome for hikers, so we're trying to decide if we should split in 2 spaced groups. (2) Are there alberges or pensiones that are more welcoming of cyclist peregrines? And (3) any recommendations people might have besides having a bell on one's bike to warn walkers of our approach?
Buen Camino!
