    Ignore my reply - I was wrong. That route is now on the pilgrim reception list as @David Tallan correctly says below. I’ve not deleted the post so as to not further confuse the thread. Muxia and no. The logic being that your progress should...

    I’d suggest to you that the holiday crowds are only going to be in the large cities and on the last 100 km of the different Caminos heading into Santiago during Semana Santa and on Easter. When we walked the Inglés during Semana Santa, it was...
