Municipal albergues in March open?

[ClintBallinger]

I am planning Porto to Santiago in March, wondering if most accommodation is open, especially municipal accommodation?
Related: are there stages where no available? I plan to go slow, do shortest stages possible in general to maximize time in villages etc.
Thought to start on coast out of Porto, then central way as soon as can join.
In general wondered if many people will be walking then- some company would be nice

You can check Gronze for the opening dates of albergues.

I don't know about the Portuguese part of the route but once you enter Spain the Xunta albergues are open all year round. Even if you are the only pilgrim that night - something I encountered a couple of times this week on the CF.
