How Was It in May and June?

Hi All:

Just wondering how crowded the CF was in May and June, 2011. I'll be taking 5 weeks in 2012 -- last week in May and all of June -- and am curious as to how hard it will likely be to find a bed and a good night's sleep. I'm going no matter what, but some of the posts I've read on this forum have me wondering, and just a bit concerned.

Thanks for any info.

The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
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.
I left SJPP end of May, walked through June and the first few days of July 2008- never had any problems anywhere getting a bed. Tended to stay in some of the smaller places- that didn't necessarily coincide with a guide book, and I think that can help with getting a bed too.

I have no doubt you'll be fine during this time. I've walked both the Frances and the Norte during mid-June to mid-July (SJPdP-Finisterre). Let's say 60 days between the two. The ONE time I came to a place without room (2010 Holy Year), two "Camino Angels" agreed to share a bed so I wouldn't be left out in the paddock. The Camino provides. You'll be fine.

Keep a smile!

Roncesvalles or push to Burguete? I prefer to avoid the recommended stages to avoid the race for albergues. Do you suggest Burguete? Is Roncesvalles too busy?
