Greetings. I'm planning to walk the Camino Frances beginning on June 7. I've never done anything like this before, although I've done a lot of hiking. I will be travelling alone for the first time, but hope to meet other pilgrims. I'd appreciate any helpful information. Right now I'm wondering about the large numbers of pilgrims at that time of year, and if it creates a problem finding lodging. I can't make reservations, and I don't think they are even allowed, since I don't know where I'll be on which day. Any thoughts on this? Also, I'd love recommendations on lodging in St. Jean de Pied that are near the beginning of the trail. Thanks.
