Hi All, I will start the Camino Frances next week from Saint Jean Pied de Port. I am a solo female walker who has never walked on Camino before.
A lot of websites have said that October is a lot less crowded than summer months or September, which is great, however as a solo female i am trying to guage what that means in terms of walking alone. By 'less crowded' should i expect to walk for many miles alone?
I would be greatly interested to hear from anyone who is currently on or has done the route in October, or solo female travellers in general. I had initially assumed safety would be fine given the popularity of the Camino but I have come across some posts on this forum that are making me a little nervous.
Any guidance or insight would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
