    How busy is the Camino del Norte

    Hi there, I walked the del Norte from Irun to SdC in May to mid-June this year. Obviously a much quieter time than the summer months. I never had a problem finding a bed in the refugios. I would imagine that the period after the summer/holiday period is as quiet again, say from September...
