Walking in late August

Stacyv said:

Hi, I walked the Frances last year in September and it was fantastic. I’m planning to walk the portugués coastal route late August. Can anyone advise me if it’s too hot? I’m also wondering if it will be too crowded with holiday makers in the coastal towns?
Any advice would be great.

Hi, my wife and I are also planning to do the coastal route in late August, probably starting in Povoa de Varzim or Esposende. We were planning to do it on our own, i.e., set our own pace. As we have trouble sleeping anyway, we are planning to stay in hotels. But looking at hotels along the route on booking.com, I'm finding they're booking up FAST. I don't want to try to pre-book this trip four months in advance but we're worried we may start walking and find no place to stay, even into early September. Can anyone with experience doing the Portuguese coastal comment on the availability of accommodations during this time period? Thanks
