I keep reading things like, "I only saw 15 other pilgrims on the route..." etc... when I read about the Norte ...
I wonder...what are your evening like then?
Are these auberges open for just one pilgrim a night? Are you eating and enjoying a glass of vino (or two) solo?
I'm not afraid of walking by myself as much as I fear no nightly interaction...
Can you share your evenings on a less populated route?
I know Steeltown pilgrim walked around April...anyothers Norte April walkers?
My flight is booked so April is what I am confined to.
thanks in advance,
Neve
I walked the VdlP in August this year. Due to the extreme heat there were no other pilgrims from Seville to Salamanca. There may have been some but I never saw or interacted with them.
After Salamanca there were other Pilgrims all the way to Santiago.
Yes...I was alone in the albergues and at dinner unless I found a non- pilgrim to talk with.
It does get a bit lonely.

Hi Aubrey!!!I did the Norte in March/April 2013, some of it with Steeltown Pilgrimand other people here on the forum. Hi Tom!!
Before my trip I was worried that I'd be sleeping in empty albergues. Fortunately that was not the case. Some albergues were filled almost to capacity, while others housed just a few pilgrims. When I arrived in Soto de Luiña I appeared the be the only pilgrim staying in the school. I had just gotten used to the idea of spending a night all alone in an old school when two Austrian women showed up. Phew! In my experience, there was always the option for nightly interaction with other pilgrims. I usually preferred to walk on my own during the day, but if you like walking with others, I'm sure you'd have no problem finding other pilgrims. And, not to worry, albergues will open for one person.
