September 2024
Hi everyone! I was planning to travel to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to start my Camino on 4th September, but everywhere seems booked up for this date only (I can book most other dates in August and September). Does anyone know if there’s something happening that day?

Thanks!
 
Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
It's a popular week to start, i find a bed in a gite on booking as i write this. But that seems to be it. Expect to have troubles on the stages follwing till Pamplona at the least.
 
Possible resolutions are to spend your first night in Bayonne and walk through to Valcarlos off the morning train. Second day to Burguette or Espinal and then a push Cizur Menor or even Zariquiegui. I don’t recommend this solution as you’ll be facing some long days and many break down going too fast and too far in the early stages.
I guess if you don’t have a booking in St Jean I also guess you don’t have one in Orisson/ Borda, or Roncesvalles or Zubiri or Pamplona. They will all be hard to come by by now.

You might consider starting walking from Pamplona. There’s a daily bus from St Jean. Otherwise consider changing your starting date
 
Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The first two, three weeks of September are by far the busiest weeks of the year. Be sure you make reservations fot the 'bottleneck' Saint-Jean-Pied-Port through Pamplona.
Auberge Orisson and auberge Borda (between Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port and Roncesvalles) are already fully booked, in Roncesvalles you can still book a bed at the moment.

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
It appears they have one available on booking.com for 4 September when I checked just now.
