Busy time on all the Caminos in 2009, 2010?

The Catholic World Youth Day (WYD) has just ended in Sydney, Australia. I was absolutely amazed at the huge crowds and large number of international pilgrims - at least on TV.

The 2009 WYD will be in Madrid, so I guess that all the caminos will be vey busy around that time (I don't know the exact date).

And 2010 is the next holy year for Santiago. More crowds!

Looks like both years will be busier than normal.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi Bob - WYD in Madrid will be in 2011 from Aug 15-21
 
Hi Sil - Is the next WYD in 2011? Not 2009?
That would mean I have 2009 "free" to avoid crowds
