- Time of past OR future Camino
- 2010, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2024
I had walked the Camino Frances last Spring. I am planning to walk again and heard that the VDLP is longer and less crowded. I am retired so time is not an issue. Currently I'm narrowing down to the time of departure and researching the "long" stages (comparing to CF) and albergues. Any word of wisdom would be much appreciated.
I've been reading the posts on this forum and came to the conclusion that Spring is a good time to walk the VDLP. I assume that April is a better month to start than March. Though the weather is unpredictable, "generally" April should have less rain and also less swollen "streams/rivers" to ford. Another positive is that there should have more albergues open in April. Are my assumptions correct? Are there positives to walk in March rather than April? I would appreciate any feedback/advice that you might have.
Buen Camino
