Hi Everyone,
I am hoping to do my first camino ever leaving the end of July (approx july 22nd) until Aug 17th. It is the only time I have to do a part of the Camino and am very worried about the HEAT and CROWDS, but if I don't do it now not sure when I will be able to.
I understand I cannot complete the entire walk in this time frame but was planning on starting in St. Jean Pied de Port and just seeing how far I get or possibly just doing some legs. AM thinking of flying out of Madrid as I assume it will be easy to get to from wherever I end up.
QUESTIONS: Should I be stressed out about being able to find a place to sleep each night OR does it always work out?
How HUMID is the heat? Should I seriously reconsider this time of walking? (That is, I don't want it to be HELL)
Also, I would love to avoid highways and stick to scenic isolated paths - is this possible during the start? Would hate to spend my time I have walking the wrong part
Sorry for silly questions. Help is so much appreciated.
Scott
