There are two routes you can take, one goes by the sea for about a week. We did not follow the sea route, we were told it is very windy. The sea route then connects back to the original route and continues to Santiago.
My husband and I completed the Portuguese route last year. We started in May and found very few pilgrims on route for the first week. No problems finding places to stay overnight. There is a lot of hard surface walking for the first week, a lot of walking along the roadside. Be careful...
Are you able to receive the Compostelle if you hike from Le Puy to Roncesvalles? We have already hiked from St. Jean to Santiago in 2013 so we are hiking the French route in May 2015 and taking the train on into Santiago from Roncesvalles. Thank you.
