Walked today from Los Arcos to Logrono in perfect weather. Temperature in the low 20s with a gentle breeze, clear blue skies with distant views of snow -capped mountains. Everyone smiling and last week's rain forgotten (although the river Ebro obviously swollen.)

Come and join us!

As a metric-impaired USAmerican I have to translate Celsius temperatures:

30 is hot
20 is nice
10 is cold
0 is ice

Which means that the temperature is now somewhere between “nice” and “hot.” A brisk walk adds 5-10 degrees, so for a walker it’s now “hot.”

Damn! And it’s not even May yet!

:)
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
0 C = 32 F
10 = 50
20 = 68
30 = 86
40 = 104 That’s hot and it’s the temp the day I walked into Villafranca last June. Enjoy the nice weather. I wish I were there.

I can do the math but I like the poem better.

By the time it’s 80F / 26.67C I’m sweating. Oh, for the pleasure of walking in the 10C range...

The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

DEEP pea green with envy!!! It's so hard to not be on the Camino!
 
I stayed at SAN Marcos Albergue in Palas de Rei and there was a throng of high school students who checked in after I got there. Lol. You can imagine the energy of 50 boys. Great to see young people on the trail. I am in Riabidos tonight. No youngsters here.
So why am I up in the middle of the night?
Too much food.

So excited to hear this--I'll be on my way tomorrow a.m., headed to Madrid. On the trail by 4/24! Buen Camino!
