I'm having a bit of trouble understanding where this would be!I'd suggest starting at the tail end
We did it in September 2017 and were told then that September was the busiest month. Just past Leon they were advising us to book accommodation ahead, so we did. It didn’t seem that busy to us until after Sarria when tours with groups became evident and it seemed more commercial. Some days we hardly saw any others on the trail. Our weather was beautiful - we encountered only 10 minutes of rain while walking the entire way, warm days and some fog in the mornings. It was hotter in Galicia, cooler in the morning but rising to 25-27 degrees. It was a beautiful walk!Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September. What experiences have people had with weather and crowds and accommodation during this time? I would plan for about 30 days which hopefully gives me enough time, or even a few extra days if needed. My fitness is okay, I'm lean and healthy but not super fit.
It will be my first camino. I am keen to miss the worst of the summer heat but I also want the weather to be manageable.
Interested to hear any thoughts you guys have.
It’s busy if you start in the beginning of Sept. crowds start falling off mid-September as most schools and unis are back in class. I walked mid-Sept to mid-Oct, SJPDP to SDC. Was perfect weather. Great company - crowded enough to have interactions with peregrinos from around the world but also you could walk alone and have quiet time. We got about 3 days of rain. A little sleet going over the Pyrenees. Just missed a multi-day downpour as we reached SDC. Have fun - it’s incredible. Buen Camino!Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September.

I did it in september. It was great. Crowds thinned out and plenty of accommodations.Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September.

I walked the CF in the August/September time frame. All sorts of weather. Never had a problem finding accommodations. You just may have to book one-two days in advance.Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September.

I walked this route in September 2 years ago. The weather was great but hot in a few stretches across the Meseta. Around Foncebadon I bought some inexpensive gloves but wore shorts the entire Camino. Only a couple of days of rain with mist nearing the end.Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September.

If you don't mind hotter weather, starting in August is less busy than waiting until the beginning of September. I started my first Camino on August 21, and never had a problem getting a bed. That was 8 years ago, but I believe that August is still much less busy than the first two weeks of September. The floodgates seem to open on September 1st.I walked the CF in the August/September time frame. All sorts of weather. Never had a problem finding accommodations.

I’ve walked the Frances three times in September/October and enjoyed it each time. Early in September the path can still be crowded but lightens up a bit later in the month. The weather tends to be cool mornings followed by warm days perfect for walking. Last year however was the wettest one I’ve done (possibly because I started later-sept 27) and finished late October. There are enough pilgrims walking at that time to ensure not feeling alone while also not feeling overwhelmed by crowds.Hi guys, thinking about doing the Camino Frances in September.
