Closing dates for seasonal albergues

I just finished my first Camino in June. I'm already thinking about my second Camino, which I'm planning in 2019. I'd thought about perhaps walking in September-October but was concerned about how late in the fall the seasonal albergues remain open. I've downloaded the wonderful excel spreadsheet with the albergue data, but the column "Open All Year" only shows a Yes or No, but no dates. Does anyone know if there is some information like the spreadsheet that would indicate the estimated closings? Even when I go to an albergue's website, they seldom have that information. Does anyone know if most of them are open through October?

Thanks,
Jo

I have walked 3 times in October-November, and availability of albergues has never been a problem. Some start closing around mid-October, so just don't plan to arrive in a tiny village needing a bed, unless you have checked first.

It is too early to know who is closing when, but it shouldn't matter to your planning.
