I need to change Camino plans that have been in place for a while.I was originally scheduled to walk for three weeks, May 3-25. Something has come up and I need to move my trip to the fall. I would appreciate any suggestions about when in September my 3 weeks should commence, departing from Burgos. (I'm leaning towards the last week in September, and am not a fan of hot weather.)
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Depends on whether you want lots of company and the maximum of facilities. Early September is likely to be very busy - peak season. If you start at the end of September then numbers should be decreasing. Most albergues and bars will still be open but a few may close. Personally I'd prefer to leave it as late as possible as I dislike large crowds.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Late September; it’s a great time to walk.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I really can't tolerate heat very well, and the last weeks of September were perfect. But, a lot of people last week in September/first in October from Sarria and in, I must say, if that matters.
