I understand that the Camino Frances is very crowded in the summer, so I am considering a September-October camino. At my speed and with rest stops, I will need almost 2 months. To avoid the end of October and increasing possibilities of rain, what about starting in the last half of August? I know that August is vacation month for many Europeans, but will the first stages of the Frances be crowded then or will everyone be on down the road?
I will definitely take the advice to stop first in Orisson. But I am a little puzzled. How does one hang around in SJPP, waiting for the advice of clear weather, and still get a bed at Orisson? Is it realistic to call for a reservation on the morning of departure?
