After much deliberation we've decided on the Norte and on to Finisterre (ageing bodies permitting) in 2018. Trying to avoid the heat so thinking to take our time and a seriously leisurely pace over the September/October period. Would appreciate advice on whether walking late into October will be a problem with accommodation - will establishments start to close? We are a group of 3 and all pretty happy to take it as it comes with a mix of communal or private accommodation.

Happy New Year to all and happy Camino adventures in 2018.

Hi Sue, I walked in Oct/Nov and had no problem finding accommodation. You can see where I stayed in this thread:

All the municipal albergues are open in Galicia all year round.

Many thanks Jill. Such a relief as a pilgrim we'd met on the Le Puy way this year suggested things would be closed. Very nice to know.

A lot of places are closed, so it’s a good idea to have a list, or an app, for what is open. The Youth Hostels were open, but 2 out of 3 that I went to were completely full with youth groups.

Ah well there it is! It's all in the planning but looks like there will be choices despite many being closed.
