August will be hot, and you can expect a lot of fellow pilgrims since Europe seems to take a collective holiday in August. The crowd will include college students, though they seem to interact even with older pilgrims, so don't worry about cramping their style. The young do seek out one another for the socializing and partying, though the party may tend toward a group dinner with lots of wine!
 
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Oddly enough, I was a student at 36 years old, and made my first camino in a long university summer.
