Camino Ingles at the end of March

[Camino33]

I am considering to do the Camino Ingles at the end of March. Are there already people doing it? I have done previously other Caminos and one of the best part was to be able to meet people. Also, are there enough albergues open in this period?

Last year 373 people received a Compostela in March who had walked the Camino Ingles. The numbers may be a little smaller this year but there will be others on the Ingles. A much quieter route than the Frances. I have walked the Camino Ingles twice in winter and had no problems finding open albergues. The Xunta albergues are open all year round. Gronze should give you information about which private albergues are also open.

I walked it in early Apr about a decade ago, arriving in Santiago at the beginning of Easter. It wasn't busy. There were some albergues where I was the only person staying, others where there were maybe a dozen or so. I think this was a group of school friends with another couple. I saw them again, but only fleetingly.

Finding accommodation wasn't a problem, although one place was run by a local volunteer, who was at work at the time that I rang. It took him a little time to get to me with a key, so there was a little time to sit beside the bay and enjoy the view.

I'm walking it in a week and a half, I'll report back and let you know.

Thank you. How was it? @jcat

Thank you. How was it? @jcat

I think it’s too early to ask this question of jcat ., @jcat doesn’t start the inglés from Ferrol until March 15.

We did the Inglés at Easter last year - and were not alone.

I just finished the Ingles. There was a total of 6 pilgrims that I saw each day. I was the only native English speaker, but communication wasn't difficult. Everything seemed to be open. It was a great Camino, but I would not say it was very social. Only because of the small number of pilgrims, but still great.
