Hello everyone. I will be arriving in SJPP on 8th November with a friend and we intend on setting off the following day (via the Valcarlos route, of course!). We know about the Aprinca list of accommodation and we are trying to pack for all weather eventualities (probably over cautious if anything!) But I am just wondering what other pilgrims experiences have been at this time of year? Pilgrim numbers, weather, accommodation availability - anything! Whatever you think may be relevant that we might not have considered. For example, we have not booked accommodation in SJPP. I'm hoping that with fewer pilgrims we should find a bed in the Municipal albergue. Is this wise? Perhaps I still need to book something. What about evening footwear? My sandals might be ok for in the albergue but if its raining maybe I would be better with a pair of trainers to go out for a meal etc? I could just put my walking shoes back on to go out in the evening, but might be inconvenient if I am trying to dry them out? I'm over thinking it, aren't I?! Very interested to hear from people who have walked November/December Camino Frances. ![Folded hands: medium-light skin tone :pray_tone2: 🙏🏼](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f64f-1f3fc.png)
