Where to stay on CDS and crowds

[Americanperegrino]

Just an FYI for those who are planning their Camino and are worrying about availability of places to stay and crowds. What I'm seeing is the crowd travels like a big bubble of people from the end of one section to the next. Very few stay in the middle. So, as has already been suggested, try ending your day in between the " Brierley" recommended sections. There are many excellent hostels along the way, not just at the ends of the sections. You will also be avoiding the crowds as you walk.

My trip is planned for August/September 2016. I have deliberately planned my journey with 'in between' stops rather than staying at the 'Brierly' stops. Last time I walked, there were a couple of places I would prefer not to stay at again and I've factored that into my plan. It will cost me a day or two, but I'm happy with that.

Also avoid being/starting during the weekend at a typical starting point. Buen Camino, SY
