Hiking Labour Day weekend

Time of past OR future Camino
Plan to walk the northern route - San Sebastian to Bilbao (Sept2018)
My daughter and I will be hiking a small portion of the Camino del Norte late August / early September. Should we have any concerns re: Labour Day weekend. Much appreciated
 
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.

€46,-

Neither American labor day or Canadian labour day, celebrated on the first Monday in September is a holiday in europe. In fact today March 1 is the european labour day holiday. However the months of August and September are very popular holiday times in europe; seaside resorts along the Camino Norte will be busy.

Happy planning and Buen camino to both of you!

Today (May 1st) is actually Labor Day which meant many Spaniards were on a 4 day long weekend to the coast (Sat - Tues). So accommodation has been tight along the Norte for us pilgrims the past few night as non-pilgrims filled up many of the spots not specifically dedicated to Pilgrims. The albergue in Larrabetzu was full last night with some folks on the floor and others turned away. Something to be aware of for those planning future Caminos on the Norte as this is a very popular vacation area.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
