Walked the Camino Frances two years ago. Should we expect many walkers this early in the Spring on the Camino Portuguese?

Too many and too often!

I walked last month from Porto and saw very few. Maximum in any albergue was 4. I was alone for a couple of nights. I assume the number will be increasing gradually through the spring.

Too many caminos to list in the permitted 100 characters!!

I go along completely with Bradypus.
There will be very few pilgrims on the Portuguese in March. More in April and May but still no remote comparison with the Frances. Some of us quite like ... prefer!! ... a quiet camino

Porto - Santiago (Easter 2016)

This will be my first camino, so obviously I don't have any experience. But I guess we'll have at least some company from Porto, since it's doable to walk Porto - Santiago within the Easter days.
My flight lands in Porto at 23 pm on the 18th, so I'll start walking north Saturday morning. And I'm very much looking forward to it!
