    How busy is the Frances these days?

    To add to my previous post, as I'm now in Santiago, the last 100 kms is definitely busy. There's also a festival in Santiago this coming weekend which doesn't help accomodations.

    How busy is the Frances these days?

    I did the Camino Frances in 2015 and am back now, started in Bayonne mid May... walked to St Jean and have been walking 25 days, just got to Sarria. It feels like there are a good 10-20% less pilgrims than when I did it in 2015. It's tough to say because some albergues (apparently) removed beds...

    It’s busy

    I'm in Puenta la Reina and so far this has felt like less people than 2015. Not much less, maybe 10-15%

    Camino Frances - Any Bed Issues?

    I'm starting from SJpdp tomorrow but have Orisson and Roncesvalles booked. I'm sure Zubiri is likely to be tough. I'll check back in after a few days.

    Husband wants to come with me!

    If you stretch it a few days you can start in Leon and walk about 220 KMs into Santiago. I was going to do this with my fiance but her passport will be delayed too long due to our slow government.

    Concerned

    This reminds me of one of my days on my first Camino years ago. I was having a bad time in Peunte la Reina and didn't get out of my hotel until 10 AM. I was walking mad and caught a lot of my Camino friends and blew by them. Got to Estrella and didn't want to hang around... decided to go to...

    Concerned

    Where are you starting from? What day? Do you have anything booked? There are weirdos like me who have a few of our favorite places booked but will let others stay with us if someone were to chip in. Not a lot of places but I have 4 or 5 along my way.

    It’s busy

    LOL I knew it would be. Had to push my trip to this year from 2020 and I sighed when the church made this the holy year. I'm starting in a couple of weeks and it's gonna be wild.

    Rest days on the Camino Frances?

    My first Camino I had 3 rest days; 1 in Logrono and 2 in Leon. I'm planning for 4 this year.

    Frances or ingles route in May - solo walker

    Wow that is interesting! Though I was doing the CI near the end of October so perhaps it was the timing? But it was much much much different for me than the CF in May/June.

    Advice for a family

    If you are all fit it's very doable. In 2015 I did Saint Jean to Santiago from May 16th - June 15th and I took 3 days off in that time (1 in Lagrono and 2 in Leon). I averaged over 25 KM's/day but in the middle it's all very flat and farm like for about 3 weeks.

    WALKING from Biarritz to SJPdP

    OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?! :O This is exactly what I plan to do this coming May! I am desperately trying to avoid your photos lol but the advice is wonderful. Excited to start my Camino from Bayonne and I am hoping to find a new scallop shell there.

    Alberques and first time walker

    The only albergues I stayed at where I was truly concerned with my sanity were in Larassona (Municipal?) and Najera (definitely church run and by donation). But honestly wouldn't trade those experiences for anything.
