    How busy is the Camino Frances at the moment?

    I just heard from somebody on the Camino Frances, more or less at Torres del Rio, that the Camino is very busy at the moment, and that she is finding it hard to even get private accommodation. Would this be true? A little bit worried, as I am leaving for the airport in an hour, and will be...
