The blog "To Santiago de Compostela and beyond" confirmed the wisdom of the decision to start at the start of the camino:
...Others walk only the last 100km from Sarria(112km), this qualify’s pilgrims for the compostela, which many people want. Because of this I found the last 100km the least friendly part to walk. Many people had just joined the Camino and did not mix very well. There was a rush each day from Albergue to Albergue to ensure a sleeping place for that night.
This reminded me of what I had heard about the final climb before arriving at Machu Picchu in Peru. Everyone wants to be there at the break of dawn. According to my fellow travellers who chose the Inca Trail - as opposed to the Lares Trail we took - the rush to the top in the darkness of the morning was very unpleasant with people pushing their way through on the narrow path uphill.
Is this what awaits the pilgrims at the final stage before Santiago de Compostela too? Anyway, this will not be a problem for me this time.
