- Future Frances from Saint Jean Pied du Port to Burgos, starting in June.
Hello Pilgrim friends. I am preparing to walk the Frances in late September. I had thought of starting on a Sunday, as I hear the church in SJPP has a beautiful morning service. Then I thought of starting on the 23 of September. But... There don't appear to be any accommodations available for me to do that.
Right now I have a more expensive Airbnb booked in SJPP for the night of the 23rd and a dorm in Roncesvalles and Zubiri, and two nights in Pamplona.
Last time I walked, this was as far as I got before the heat and the bed race chased me to the Norte. I loved San Sebastian and I'm glad I saw it. But... I missed the churches and community of the Frances, so I took a bus back to Leon and walked from there.
I was hoping for an easier flow this time, picking one route and staying on it. I'm curious to hear others thoughts on the timing of my trip. Is September just too busy- at least too busy to not book ahead?
I hoped this time to be able to walk as far as I like and stay off my phone as much as possible until I'm in a town (i.e. not to have to be on booking.com frantically looking for accommodations every night).
Thoughts from recent pilgrims?
I wonder if the experience I hope for is less available now that the Camino is so so so popular.![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)
Thank you so much!
