Oct/Nov Camino

[Fergus]

Hello my friends,

After experiencing heavy traffic on past caminos during the summer months Aug/Sep and May/Jun my wife and 10 year old son have decided to go for a Oct/Nov camino. We would greatly appreciate any input from those who have gone before us during this time. Info on weather, alburgue availability and so forth. We are starting this camino on the 17th of Oct and plan to be on the trail for the month of Nov. Maybe we will see you there.
Thanks,
Shawn

Most of the albergues in smaller towns/villages will close at the end of October. However, where there is more than one albergue, usually one will be open. The municipals will be open. If it is cold in November, be prepared for very little heat! Buen camino.

At least on the CF albergues will be open until, at least end of November. But, considering that you are walking with a child - the weather can turn really nasty (cold, rain, strong winds) so please come prepared and have Plan B,C and D in place. Buen Camino, SY

Thanks for the input, we always make it a point to have a backup plan. We walked the way with him in 2015 when he was 8 and he did well, now at 10 he should have no troubles, I will just try to keep up.
