I did this 2 years ago, starting from Leon. We arrived the day after Easter. Less crowded, but still busy. The Camino will be busy as well, but still didn’t have any issues with finding places to stay. Be careful of some albergues during this time of year, they may not have heat and it’s cold at...

Thanks.
