Just wanted to say that I'm walking the meseta now, getting closer to León, and the weather is great! Sunny and 15°C during the day. In case anyone is thinking of a last minute camino like me 😊
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Nomadita,
Glad to learn that the weather is great and your camino is going well. Just before you enter Leon you will cross some very special bridges. One at Villarente. The other above the auto-route east of Leon. Be prepared.

Carpe diem and Buen camino!

Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

Love the lonely, brown Meseta in winter. There is a raw and simple beauty and power.
 
Yes amazing part of Camino in any season feel sorry for those pilgrims who skip this part there missing a fantastic experience.Buen Camino.

I may do the same next month! How is the situation with accommodation, was it easy to find albergues? And are there many other pilgrims?
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
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.

Hey I just finished in Santiago on Thursday, couldn't get off it and kept going past León! It was quite easy to find albergues in February. Some places like Foncebadón there was only one open so a friend kindly booked me a bed as I arrived late and it was full! March I guess things will start opening up. There are a few municipais that are open all year, and have a look at the Buen Camino app and Aprinca list (https://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/). There are quite a few pilgrims, more than I expected, and made a great group of friends. So sad to leave Santiago today!

I left SJPDP on 2 January and arrived in Santiago on 2 February. I was very surprised by the numbers in the first half of my walk - up to 15 in the albergue in some places like Roncesvalles, Puente la Reina and Astorga. But contrary to my expectations numbers tailed off markedly in Galicia and after Sarria I spent four nights in Xunta albergues either alone or with one companion. No idea why that should be!
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.
