[QUOTE="whariwharangi, post: 140041"] I walked last fall. I arrived in Fisterra mid December. It never got cold. Temperatures even during periods of snow never dipped far below freezing. Even though it didn't get warm enough to take the jacket off it was never 'winter conditions'. Caveat: I'm from Canada so my definition of 'cold' might be different than yours. It started getting cool enough in mid November that the scarf and the gloves did not come off all day. Sun glasses were no longer needed. There was usually frost in the mornings. You are right to seriously consider the passes from Astorga and O'Cebreiro. However, the big deal with route Napoleon is its distance to shelter. There is less distance between stops on the other two passes. I encountered snow in O'Cebreiro. I walked on the road because the trail was obscured and was thinking it would have been nice to have something fluorescent to make myself more visible. Route finding was never an issue. If the trails are obscured by snow then walk on the road even if it means you are walking further. Just step off whenever there is traffic (and there is not much). The squalls in Galacia were of note. I saw squalls just after I finished where the streets got filled with rain water in about 5 minutes. Apparently the rains arrived late last year ... The later in the season the fewer the pilgrims. However, the closer you get to Santiago, the more pilgrims ... so it balances out. I had several nights where there were only 3 or 4 other pilgrims sharing the Albergue. Many of the Albergues were closed. That meant planning ahead to make sure I got to a larger town where the Xunta Albergues were usually open. There is nothing silly about walking in late season. I enjoyed my walk immensely. [/QUOTE]
