I will be starting the CF in Astorga around March 9, 2025. Will there be albergues open at this time of year before Sarria? Should I pre-book, will I potentially have longer days to get to larger towns for accommodation? How many pilgrims should I expect to see? Any input on this section at this time of year would be a great help. Thank you in advance.

The Camino Frances is not the Costa del Sol..... Anticipate chilly temperatures in early March and plan accordingly!

I am fairly prepared for the cold and rain... I hope. I did walk from Pamplona to Logrono in late March of 2019 and it was very nice, lucky I suppose with the mild temps. I do live at 9000ft so I am accustomed to the cold and even snow. More wondering about how slow I can expect it to be and if things will be open and accessible.

It’ll be cool and possibly damp, but otherwise excellent. There will be plenty of accommodation in relation to the numbers walking. More than enough places to stay, eat and drink will be open.

And don't be surprised in the least if you have snow going up to Foncebadon and Cruz de Ferro and then again going to O Cebreiro and beyond.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

From my experience walking in Feb/March from SJPP, there are usually more people walking by the time I get to Astorga.
Yes, there will be Albergues open.
Enjoy yourself. It will be great. My favorite time of year to walk.
