[QUOTE="whariwharangi, post: 126654"] I walked from SJPdP to Fisterra (Finisterre) last fall. I started 25 October and finished 12 December. The staff at the SJPdP office gave me a sheet showing all the 'official' Albergues on the camino. The list included dates that they were open. Quite a few of the public albergues were closed. The list became indispensable in daily trip planning in order to avoid overlong days and the risk of not finding a place when that overlong day was over. The list was not 100% correct. Many thanks to whomever put that list together. Most of the private albergues (usually not on the list but shown in the guidebooks) were closed and so could not be relied on. (I didn't carry a cell phone to call ahead) It was cool enough to require a jacket even when walking. It rained often, particularly in Galacia. A rain jacket was necessary. About mid November it became necessary to wear light ragknit gloves and a scarf in addition to the jacket well into the morning. Frequently there was frost. I encountered snow at O'Cebreiro (1300 meters) . The trail had several inches so I walked on the (plowed) road to Triacastela. Once I got to Fisterra there were often short torrential storms and was glad I didnt get caught in any of those. Apparently the rains started late this year ... In minutes the streets are running with an inch or more of water. Many of the albergues were almost too hot. A sheet liner was all that was necessary. But a lot of the private ones had heat on at low temperatures and for only the evening hours. There was a lot of rumour of bugs in the blankets so I was glad of the heavy sleeping bag I carried even if the -10 bag was overkill. Oh yeah laundry. No way to dry clothes without the use of a dryer. The sun goes down early and doesn't give much heat. The radiators were usually occupied by wet towels and damp tshirts. [/QUOTE]
