Pollen?

[QuailHiker]

I will be starting from SJPP on April 25. I have had a terrible problem with pollen allergies this spring in the U.S. Anyone have an idea how bad seasonal allergies might be on the CF beginning in late April?

The first time I walked the Camino in April, Sarria to SDC, it was beautiful and full of flowering plants. No sign of allergies. The second time, pretty good weather, slight allergies. The third time it rained the whole time so no problems. The next time, oh my gosh! It was just like at home and although I had brought some medication, I had to buy more (easy to get in the Pharmacia). I'd say that if you have something at home that works for you, bring it along. You can get more on the way if you need to. Buen Camino!

Expect lots of pollen. Antihistamines will be useful for the pollen and the dusty albergues!

Where are you staying in SJPP? I'm staying Sunday night at Beilari and hope to get to SJPP from Bayonne sometime around mid-day that day.
