The number of pilgrims increases throughout May, so the earlier, the better. In the past, only in late June, July, and August do some albergues begin to fill. However, more pilgrims are starting to leave early to avoid the rush, creating earlier traffic jams! You will enjoy the walk regardless, so don't worry about it. Buen camino.If we were to leave around May 14th ish would that lessen the traffic at all? My classes would be done around May 5th, so anytime after that i could leave. Possibly as early as may 9th if that would make it slightly more enjoyable
David243 said:My wife and I are walking the Camino June-July and are flying back to the U.S. August 8th (leaving us over a week after our walk to Finisterre/Muxia)...we plan to spend a about 4-5 days on the beach somewhere. We used to live in Spain and while we were there we fell in love with the town Conil de la Frontera. It's about a 45 minute bus ride from Cadiz and is a very relaxed beach town...would definitely recommend this area due to its tranquility and nice beaches. Hostal Playa Sur is a nice place to stay, and if you go further south to Canos de Meca you can rent a cabin or something right near the beach. We will either go to this area after our Camino or go to a different beach in Spain we haven't been to. You should definitely look into it, though! They have buses through ALSA from Santiago to Cadiz that go overnight if you are interested...
StumbleBum7 said:That sounds like a great thing to look into! As long as it isn't to pricey I think that could be a great way to end out trip. I will have to look into the prices/availability of buses from Finisterre area if we continue on to there. Thanks for the unique input. If we did that the camino would have a bit of everything. Paris for a couple days, then the walk. Then beach... possible Leon or something in between for a day. Can you get airfare from the beach area or do you have to get a bus to somewhere further away?
StumbleBum7 said:Do you happen to remember roughly how much the hotel cost a night there? My main concern like I stated is just planning a way home which isn't super expensive, so if thats possible from there We may spend a good week at the beach area
