[QUOTE="good_old_shoes, post: 994470, member: 47112"] Many people seem to prefer walking in spring and autumn because they want to avoid the heat. April, may and september will probably be very busy. In summer, on the Francés, crowds should mainly be in the last 100km (many spanish walkers in july and august walking from Cebreiro and Sarria) and maybe St.Jean-Pamplona but otherwise, at least in my experience pre-covid, less so. I last walked july '19 and sometimes I walked alone for hours or only met few pilgrims on certain stretches. Did not make reservations, almost always found a bed at the first place I tried. I walked into my favourite albergue in Santiago at 21:45 and asked for a bed - no problem, got one. If you're fine with the heat (it's a dry heat and I've learned to love it even though I usually prefer colder temperatures), summer is a good time to walk. Only caveat: avoid Pamplona around San Fermines. Make reservations in the towns before if you want to be sure to get a bed or be prepared to walk extra kms or take a bus/taxi to your next accommodation. Happy planning and buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
