Time of past OR future Camino
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?

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! :)
