Thank you so much. Would that be really 1 meter depth of snow? My height is only 1.55m. I am Asian and I am not get used to cold weather. Though I will make sure to keep myself warm. Is that really not doable to walk the last 100km of
Camino Frances plus Finister from 20 Nov to 1st Dec 2022. I bought the air ticket already and traveling fr Singapore. I am alone and this is kind of my first solo trekking. I am trying to have self discovery about my life purpose. Thanks.
I have walked my last 3 caminos in November and December. I can't decide for you what is cold. I am pretty sure we have different definitions of cold based on the climates of where we grew up and live. I would recommend that you have layers. Mid base layers should be fine. Two should be enough. You can also purchase a very light but well insulated down coat. In Sarria you can also buy a pair of insulated pants that you could wear each day. This will all of course add some weight but you would be wearing most of these things. Once you begin to walk you will warm up quite quickly. Of course the weather is changing radically these days from year to year. So far the coldest day I woke up to was about -2 or 3C. The average daily temps were about 4-12C. Of course wind and rain/snow will change things.
Walking the last 100 km would mean from Sarria onward. The mountains will be past but it still might be very cold.
It will be milder from Sarria as mspath mentioned. I have never encountered snow from Sarria to Santiago. It doesn't mean it can't happen. Check the weather the night before and in the morning and ask at bars or in your owner of your hostel/albergue about the weather. No better knowledge than local knowledge.
Make sure you have a poncho. It will keep you dry and also it is another layer of insulation.
Also I have no idea where you want to sleep. Gronze.com, and the apps Wise Pilgrim and Buen Camino will give you lots of choices. If you are going to use Booking.com please, if it is possible to just find a place you may want to stay and then call them directly. You should tell them (if you can speak some Spanish or maybe find someone who can) that you are a pilgrim, and you would like to book a room. The owners save the 15% ( I have recently read here it can be higher) commission and sometimes you will get a better rate also. These people need as much economic support as possible. Why give the money to some big corporation when it can go to a family owned business.
