Walked in June and July, none of the above, same for the people I met and walked with. We must've been the luckiest people on the Camino ;) Groups though - there was a group of 100+ kids with teachers who started around Triacastela, overtaking them felt like being in a rush hour subway! All good...
Just wanted to say that the only time I didn't find a bed between Saint Jean and Finistere was in Olveiroa (and I arrived around 18:30). There was one in the next village though. Are "bed races" created out of nothing?

I hike about 10-15 km on the weekends and my shoes are ready for the Camino much more than I am :)
My understanding is that I will be walking double to triple of my regular hikes, with few kilos on my back , and doing it day in day out for several weeks.
I am guessing (maybe incorrectly) that...
Hi everyone! I have probably searched and read every thread on here about socks and now feel even more confused ! ))
I have decided against double-layer socks and not so sure about coolmax liner+wool option.
I do a fair bit of hiking, but nothing close to the Camino intensity. My trip will...
