    Beds in First Stage Albergues - Current Situation

    I always like to know a bit about the hiking and long-distance walking background of a forum member before I reply on this topic. So I read just now that you did the Camino Francés in your 70th year in late winter from St J p de P. The weather was vile most of the way and it took you 26 days and...

    Money taken from my Cash Passport! ☹️

    Hi Kathymac, I do not know the best time to start there. I personally start about mid June I one started towards the end of May. When starting at these times, the weather seems to be settled. Not as wet as April - May and not as hot as August - September. People usually start when they can get...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I’ve walked the Frances three times in September/October and enjoyed it each time. Early in September the path can still be crowded but lightens up a bit later in the month. The weather tends to be cool mornings followed by warm days perfect for walking. Last year however was the wettest one...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I walked from SJPDP to SDC from August 24, 2022 to September 30, 2024. The weather was very good, I don’t remember any crowds until Saria. Obviously, weather and crowds can be a day by day issue over which you have no control. But, based upon my experience, September should be a “go”.

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    If you don't mind hotter weather, starting in August is less busy than waiting until the beginning of September. I started my first Camino on August 21, and never had a problem getting a bed. That was 8 years ago, but I believe that August is still much less busy than the first two weeks of...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I walked this route in September 2 years ago. The weather was great but hot in a few stretches across the Meseta. Around Foncebadon I bought some inexpensive gloves but wore shorts the entire Camino. Only a couple of days of rain with mist nearing the end. Booked 3-4 days out then. I'm...

    Camino Portugués in September

    I walked it in September last year and it was OK. You don't say which Camino you are taking though. I walked the Central route, and the Espiritual Variente. Didn't have a problem with accommodation; I just booked for the following day. It does get busier after Tui as this is a popular start...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I walked the CF in the August/September time frame. All sorts of weather. Never had a problem finding accommodations. You just may have to book one-two days in advance.

    I did it in september. It was great. Crowds thinned out and plenty of accommodations. Cooler weather. I'm Del Norte at that time.

    Camino Portugués in September

    We are going to walk from Porto - Santiago from September 11th-28. What is the weather like? How busy is it at that time?

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I did SJPP to Santiago September 1-October 1, 2021, so I was pushing it fairly hard. Weather was a bit of a surprise: There were 9 or 10 misty/drizzly mornings where I wore a poncho for an hour or so. But the rest of the time was ideal for temps and skies, with 2 days with serious afternoon...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I suggest, if your precise timing is flexible, you leave in the middle or third week of September. It can still get hot, but crowds may be a bit less leaving 2-3 weeks later than September 1. Plus it's likely to be a bit cooler. The only downside I can think of is it puts you a bit closer to...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    It’s busy if you start in the beginning of Sept. crowds start falling off mid-September as most schools and unis are back in class. I walked mid-Sept to mid-Oct, SJPDP to SDC. Was perfect weather. Great company - crowded enough to have interactions with peregrinos from around the world but also...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    We did it in September 2017 and were told then that September was the busiest month. Just past Leon they were advising us to book accommodation ahead, so we did. It didn’t seem that busy to us until after Sarria when tours with groups became evident and it seemed more commercial. Some days we...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I started September 25th last year, and had the most amazingly wonderful Camino, I'd suggest starting at the tail end. The only real crowds were for 2 days after Sarria, but totally avoidable if you wanted (get there not at a weekend like I stupidly did), and on the whole plenty of alone time if...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September. What experiences have people had with weather and crowds and accommodation during this time? I would plan for about 30 days which hopefully gives me enough time, or even a few extra days if needed. My fitness is okay, I'm lean and...

    Current volume of pilgrims on Salvador?

    I took a bus from Astorga to Leon. Alternately you could walk backwards on the Frances for 2 days to Leon but the Frances seems quite busy these days and I wanted to use the recent good weather days on the Salvador.

    Oct/Nov

    Thank you for that info. I have been debating pushing up my start date to very tail end of September/ First week of Oct. as I have some flexibility but would need to rearrange some logistics - Sounds like you would endorse that idea? I planned for later in the season to get the cooler fall...

    starting at SJJP 2nd or 3rd week of August

    I started on Aug 23rd last year. The precise date was dictated by the availability of a bed in Albergue Border. The first day up the mountain it was very hot and very humid so I was very pleased to have a "half-way" stop. The next day it was very windy, which was a great improvement on the...
