We are hoping to finish the walk this year from O Cebreiro and are wondering how busy the trail is , as due to some minor health issues , we need a private room at each stop.

later in sept/early oct. Thanks for prompt reply. Any idea what numbers of walkers are on the Way?When do you plan on walking? I'll be on the Camino next month and there are plenty of private rooms available on Booking dot com.
I’m here now (close to Burgos) and most people are booking ahead a few days because of limited capacity and growing numbers. For me it’s perfect. Enough people to make it interesting but not crowded. If you have special needs you will want to book ahead. Many places are open.Hola, caminoers.

I am in Moratinos now and there are very few people. The people I have walked with have had no trouble finding beds. I have prebooked private rooms for the whole Camino but can tell you, thus far, I didn’t need to. That may change after Sarria. I will try to keep you updated, if you want, as I make my way to Santiago.Hola, caminoers.

Yesterday (Sept.7) 883 pilgrims were in the Pilgrim Office. That is roughly 1/2 - 1/3 of a normal year/day.Hola, caminoers. We are hoping to finish the walk this year from O Cebreiro and are wondering how busy the trail is , as due to some minor health issues , we need a private room at each stop.

Same for me. We have 4 pilgrims from Austin, Texas arriving on Sunday 9/26. We will spend Monday exploring LeĂłn and the start to Villar de Mazarife. Second Camino for me.We are leaving on 9/25 from Seattle, starting in Leon. Very excited and nervous for this journey. We look forward to meeting any other pilgrims on our way.
Thank you, Machelle. Our plans have changed and will hope to walk in 2022.I am in Moratinos now and there are very few people. The people I have walked with have had no trouble finding beds.

Many thanks for your considered replies. We are looking forward to completing the Way next spring.July and August are the busiest months from Sarria, when many Spaniards are on holiday and walking. Once the students go back to school, the numbers decline dramatically. On the other hand, May and September are the busiest times from SJPP, when retired foreigners arrive to start a longer walk. The bottlenecks are more likely to be between SJPP and Pamplona right now, and they will even themselves out as they approach Santiago. There will still be an influx at Sarria, but well within the capacity of the infrastructure.
