[QUOTE="Bernice M, post: 887901, member: 33179"] I walked Arles-Santiago in September-mid-November 2015. Yes, it was quiet. I walked with other people for about a week, but after Toulouse I walked entirely alone until I reached the Francés at Puente la Reina. I often had albergues to myself. The welcoming party sometimes outnumbered me 3 to 1. I was 61 at the time and was never without accommodation or had to walk further than I wanted to on account of accommodation. I stayed mainly in albergues, but also hotels, and casas rurales. I used Miam Miam Dodo for maps and accommodation. When I think about it, I surmise that I was totally nuts, but really it was a great walk and so solitary. I started getting lonely at about Somport, the halfway mark. When I got to the Francés I was overwhelmed by the number of people, even at that time of year and booked into a hotel in order to mentally prepare myself. Spend a couple of days in Arles, where they have belatedly started to celebrate Vincent van Gogh's relationship to it. Also, the Camargue, which you reach on Day 2, is massively infested with mosquitoes. You will need insect repellent on every exposed inch of you. Don't muck around with namby pamby repellents; you need the cavalry for these mosquitoes. Once on the Aragones, you absolutely must stay at the albergue at Arres. My all time favourite albergue.
