    Tips for Avoiding a Crowded Start Date on Camino Frances

    Thank you! When I first started trying to determine a date, I understood that September was shoulder season thinking it would be less crowded?! Maybe I should go sooner? But July seems really hot! Soon!! I will make my decision!! And I expect it will be just right!

    Thank you! I appreciate all of the advice I’m getting here!! Looking at hotel availability in St Jean, it looks like plenty of rooms available for Monday check-in and not as many on the weekends!

    Tips for Avoiding a Crowded Start Date on Camino Frances

    Thanks for the insight. I will be purchasing my flights this week so my dates are a little fluid until that happens. And then, of course, I will be at the mercy of the airlines for my actual arrival time! Perhaps we will arrive at exactly the same time!
