I walked the Portugues from Porto in October 2018 and there were plenty of people. The cathedral statistics seem to show that the Portugues Camino has only grown in popularity since then. I wouldn't worry too much about a dearth of pilgrims.
I walked the CF last October. Very social, lots of friendly pilgrims, no problem getting a bed however two weeks of heat followed by two weeks of rain with reduced daylight. It was amazing. Even though I enjoyed the Le Puy camino I didn't...
I walked the CF in May 2017 which I throughly enjoyed. I have the chance of walking again in October...From Middle Oct for 2 weeks. As much as I enjoy walking alone for parts I also love the company of others & the social aspect of the Camino...
