SJPP in November

Camino Francés in May 2023 - SJPP to CdS
Hi fellow pilgrims.
After walking the via Podiensis in October this year we intend to make our way to SJPP to spend a few days in early November. Just wondering if SJPP closes at the end of the walking season and if we will find accommodation, restaurants and shops open or closed. Does anybody have recent experience of SJPP in November? Many thanks for your advice and comments, Michael and Margaret in Australia
 
Prepare for your next Camino on California's Santa Catalina Island, Oct 27 to Nov 2
Late October 2 years ago was fabulous- shops open restaurants open accommodations open some closed with plenty open. Weather turned dicey though quickly
 
Many of the private albergues and hostals will be closed but the municipal albergue is open all year round. I stayed there in January last year. There are enough bars and shops open for food and supplies year round too.
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
A couple of days in early November might be very special actually. The famous albergues like Beilari will, of course, be closed, but there are some great little hotels and the restaurants frequented by the towns people will be open, also shops. People live there year round! Sounds like a fun idea. There is a Michelin star restaurant and other really good ones and, of course, if you want to walk you could always head out toward the mountain without getting up into the area that will be officially closed. If you rent a car there are amazing little villages all around.
