[QUOTE="lt56ny, post: 1061920, member: 19122"] I don't know what got you so upset about my statement. I based it on the charts and graphs others have posted as well as the fact that I was told the same thing talking to people in the Pilgrim office when I have received my compostelas. There is an overflow of people who start in the later part of August but spend a great deal of their camino walking in September. Maybe from your one (or more) experience (s) you have not found this to be the case. When you start and where you start and the general flow of pilgrims will have a great deal of impact on the number of pilgrims each one of us encounter. So if you didn't see a difference that is great and that is unique to your experience. I personally will not walk in any of those months because June or September there are too many people for me. I just walked the VDLP/Muxia/Finisterre last year from mid-October until about December 10th. I did not see more than about 25 pilgrims until I got to Astorga. That was just fine with me. Your perception of crowded is obviously very different from my own. Neither is right or wrong they are just our preference. This October I will walk the Aragones and then probably go over to the Madrid and then from Astorga who knows. I doubt I will see even 20 pilgrims on those caminis. That is heaven for me. I like the solitude. We all have our own ideas, our own preferences and our own perceptions. We should all respect that differences and perceptions are just that and are often very different.
