Post-camino, I would be tempted to take the train back to earlier cities on the CF, which you will not have had the opportunity to walk through. Beautiful Burgos and/or Leon spring to mind.
I hope you'll have a wonderful experience on your first camino, and who knows, we may bump into one another since I'll also be on the trail between February and April, although not exclusively on the CF.
Absolutely no snow here in Burma. If it turns up for me in my Feb - April camino, I will be ridiculously happy - and probably irritated - at the same time!
There was a Spanish TV mini-series called 'Camino de Santiago', and starring Imanol Arias, which featured murder and intrigue on the camino, and in which the goose game featured heavily. I watched it while working in La Rioja, so it would have been around 1999 or 2000. Good fun, if you can find it.
