cycled from Pamplona Sep 2015;Frances, walked from St Jean May/June 2017. Plans to walk Porto 2020
Thanks. In previous years experienced pilgrims have posted (in some cases in much detail) their winter Camino travels. A book collecting a personal experience is a great idea come to fruition. From what I have read you just have to "pick your timing" and be prepared to make adjustments to your time table or walking. Cheers.

Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

Many, various, and continuing.
Here at Peaceable Kingdom in Moratinos we see most of our pilgrim traffic in winter, when the rest of the local hostels are closed for the season. Winter pilgrims are the cream of the crop, IMHO, the real McCoy.

Yes! It will tax your people skills. But it's a pilgrimage, right? Not a beach vacation :)

Frances, autumn/winter; 2004, 2005-2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015
nilesite,

Good luck with your book. I look forward to reading your recollections.
In the happy, easier past years, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, winter was the best time to walk the CF for me. Little was hectic; without the hordes of summer all had time to share.

....In retrospect it was close to perfect. If I could I would do it again, but now at 83 I hike only in my memory.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
