David, I've been on this route for the last 10 days. Typically, I see about 20 people during my hike each day. Some I see day after day. Obviously, depending on the time you start and your pace, this number will vary.
But, does it really matter? You can always change your pace if you want to be alone.

Thanks for responding. I was wondering because last year, on the Del Norte it was a bit lonely to be honest. Only met people in auberges, rarely while walking. So it's good to know it a bit more busy in Portugal! Thanks again.
