Walking from Oporto to Santiago in December

[ioannisluca]

Hi,

I would want to walk the caminho from Oporto to Santiago during Xmas holidays. Is it feasable? Are there any albergues open? What to bring in the backpack (I'm afraid it would be too heavy, I had some backache this month...)?
Thanks to all who can give some advice...
Gianluca
PS to Laurie: I returned from Northern France, I finished my cycling tour... Next week I'll post something about my Lisbon-Oporto caminho.
Lots of love

Hi Gianluca,
I have a walking in winter post on my blog with links to other pilgrims' websites and a packing list for a December walk.

Hi

In December there should at least be some albergues open. Ask as you go along what is open in front of you. Check out details of the accommodation in this downloadable guide:

Let us know how you get on
