    2021 Holy Year

    Hi there, Im just wondering how Holy Year affects the Camino with regards to booking and busyness. I plan to do the CF mid August 2021 but with it being a Holy Year are there any pilgrims out there who have walked during a Holy Year and what effects this had on your walk? Thanks so much
