May-June 2013, Camino Frances
We are leaving from SJPDP around the middle of may. I have been reading people giving advice about weather that time of year (though I'd be more than interested to hear more), but am mostly curious about how crowded we can expect it to be? Based on this forum's calendar, I see many more people leaving in May than even in June or July :shock: I knew May would be far from deserted, but I was hoping to get a bit before the "rush". Am I over worrying?

Am I over worrying?
Yes. You will be fine. The big arrival months are July, August, and early September. May will be pleasantly social.
 
My boyfriend and I are leaving in late May. We are trying to start in May because I walked in June/July on my last Camino during the 2010 Holy Year and it was crazy. My theory is that it will be less crowded in May/June because school isn't out everywhere and it isn't prime vacation time. That said, I am probably going to err on the side of caution and book for the last few days before Santiago and book a hotel in Santiago. Buen Camino! :)

Falcon I have registered on your Calendar, but I'm not sure how to open the calendar to see who else has registered. Could you give me some help here please? I'm interested in seeing the May/June 2013 Pages. Thanks in anticipation

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.
The calendar does not come up for many users of Internet Explorer. I have no idea why. Try a different browser such as Firefox or Chrome.
