Portuguese way on November

[BeforeSummer]

Hi. I am going to walk Portuguese way from Porto on late November this year.
I've heard it is low season and I could barely see or meet other pilgrim walking on the journey.
But I can only have a long vacation by that time and it has been one of my buckitlist to walk Camino.
It's quite sad that I can't meet many other pilgrim since meeting other pilgrim is one of the most special thing that I have expected from camino journey.
But since I got no other choice, do you recommend me to walk coastal way or central way by that time?
Please give me some advice!
I've heard most of the day, it will be rainiy, So the road will be muddy. And some Albergue will be closed.
So wonder which way is better during low season.
Hope you guys share your ideas. It will be very helpful for me. Thanks!

I walked the coastal way last October. I am from the prairies (flat farm land) in Canada, so the ocean views were special to me. It's a little longer than the central route. I had rain one morning for a few hours. It wasn't busy until Redondola, where all 3 Portuguese caminos combine, and from there in, I needed to book accommodation. Lots of hard surface and cobblestone, didn't find too much muddy paths. Also quite a bit of boardwalks in portugal.
Enjoy

At that time of year I’d stay off the coast. You’ll be lucky if it’s not a bit rainy.

It’s my favourite time of year to walk. There will be fewer Peregrinos - but not none - and there will be sufficient accommodation.
