Camino Portugués in September

[SunCity]

We are going to walk from Porto - Santiago from September 11th-28. What is the weather like? How busy is it at that time?

I walked it in September last year and it was OK. You don't say which Camino you are taking though. I walked the Central route, and the Espiritual Variente.
Didn't have a problem with accommodation; I just booked for the following day. It does get busier after Tui as this is a popular start point for those who do the minimum distance to qualify for a Compostela.
You'll have a great time ( I know I did!)
Weather was warm - only caught rain on one day on the way to Pontevedra. This by no means guarantees you the same weather experience. This area is notoriously unpredictable ... .
Buen Camino

It may rain, may shine ! Galicia is the green area of Spain because of lots of rain.
I just will miss you , handing out your Compostela.
I will leaving Santiago September 27 th. I will be volunteering at the Pilgrims Office.

It will be busy anyway in Santiago. It was a hard job to book my lodging there and I took care for that mid of April.

Bom caminho

We will be walking littoral route. We have booked our rooms already.

We cycled the Senda Litoral last year. Because we also needed secure bike storage, we booked all accommodations ahead. It was busy, but not overwhelming. The weather was really good, except for one significant rain shower from Vila do Conde into Povoa de Varzim.....some cloudy days, some sunny days, but really very little rain.

I hiked the Portuguese coastal route from Porto to Santiago, including Senda Litoral, last year Sept 21-Oct 7. Was a great time to hike. The weather was good but unseasonably warm then. Bom Camiño!

That will be nice. Looking forward to see you. Just let me know on arriving in Santiago by this forum.
I will stay on September 7th and 8th at Casa da Fernanda in Vitorino de Piães on the Central route (between Barcelos and Ponte de Lima.
In 2022 I stayed there too and met several pilgrims at the communal meal and about 10 days later I could write out and hand over their Compostela certificates. Very nice.
