<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Garamond color=#000080>Hi mary,</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Garamond color=#000080>You made two points, yes there is
this tidal wave getting ashore the 25 th of July in Santiago. To my knowledge
many Spaniards take their holidays in August. So to walk end August and
September would be a good choice. The other one is the infra structure of the
Camino which is in a certain sense collapsing while the facilities do not make
up for all the pilgrims anymore. This will be getting worse each year so many
pilgrims are finding other route to Santiago ( the northern, the Palpate or
through Portugal), so if you like to do it it's the right time now ( in my
opinion).</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
