YMMV
Your Mileage May Vary
- Time of past OR future Camino
- Camino Frances (had made reservations for 2020...)
I’m planning to walk the Camino Frances starting at SJPdP in April. I was planning to start on April 1 until I realized Easter and Semana Santa this year is early. So decided to push it back a couple of weeks and fly out (from Canada) on Easter Monday (April 13) as I’d like to avoid overly crowded Albergues as much as possible. This will be my first Camino.
However, this morning, just as was about to book my flights, I saw at the ‘Cuenta oficial de la Junta de Cofradías de la Semana Santa de Santiago de Compostela’ Twitter account @SemStaSantiago and website that Easter ‘week’ this year runs from April 3 to 19. That’s one long week! But then my Spanish is rusty and that’s perhaps limited to Santiago.
Can anyone who has direct knowledge please advise when one can expect to see the Easter celebrations along the Camino Frances this year.
