Walking Camino in October / November

[carleta875]

I'll be walking the Camino in October / November. I'm planning on Starting Oct 21. Still determining where to start out from. I am a single female traveler looking for someone else to go with so I am not alone. Is anyone going during that time?

I am single female by myself as well. Will arrive in Madrid on 15 Oct n planning to the walk as well. However, I need to return my home town on 15 Nov so not sure if we can do the walk together

I am flying out of Madrid nov 16 so I need to be in Madrid by the 15th at the latest.

I have my morning flight on 15 Nov from Madrid too.

It seems our timing works fairly well! What way are you going and where are you starting out?

As this is the first time to do this, I would like to do a short one - kind of testing. After reading those blogs, I think of starting from from Leon. Given 305 km from Leon to SC, roughly 20km per day, one may cover the entire the journey within 15 days. Yes, it is merely my wild guess, leaving time to enjoy the walk as well. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am now worried whether I can keep up the pace and the weather. My initial plan is to kick off from 17 Oct, finish it by the beginning of Nov. Then I can revisit Porto/Lisbon/Seville/Madrid to home, not sure if this is doable but I am quite flexible. By the way, I have just ordered the passport ;-) from Ivar.

It is possible if you are in "normal" shape. Keep your pack light. Your planned route has plenty of stops, so you can lengthen or shorten stages as it suits you.

Buen camino.

I'm starting my Camino in León on 3rd November and my fly back home is on 17th from Lisbon.

I am now in Molinaseco. Tried to start in Leon but couldn't find the sign. Ended up taking train to Astorga and start from there. No worry, it's safe to walk by yourself. People are friendly and helpful. Sure you can get lot of info. By the way, the weather is very good for walk

Arriving in Sarria on Oct 28 to start. All doctors would let me do but looking forward to it.

Hello! I'm also planning to walk the second half in late October/Early Nov, and am checking hostel availability etc. now. Hope to see you on the trail! Buen Camino!
