Camino Norte in March--has anyone walked during that month? Info needed, por favor!

[PEI_Heather]

Inasmuch as I'd love to go back so soon (just returned home a little over a month ago, after walking the Camino Portuguese), this is not info for me. A couple of friends of a friend are looking to walk the Norte trail in March and are going to contact me soonto ask me questions. I'd like to be able to give them a wee bit of info before sending them here to the forum and to the CSJ.

Much appreciated! Thanks!
Happy New Year!
Heather in very cold (-23°C/windchill -33°C) PEI, Canada. (Brrrrr!)

Did you find that there were plenty of places open for accommodation during March along this route?

Hola

There will be places to stay in March/April, but many Albergues first opens around Easter, so one has to stay at youth hostels or pensions which are more expensive at times.

Plan to have a bit more expensive camino and you will be fine.

Hola Tom,

Yea. Last year I found our threads meaningful despite I wasn't walking myself.
It gave me an opportunity to share my experiences and to follow your walks from my home, which was
an unexpected gift.
Also, anyone wanting to know a little about Norte in March/April can extract a lot of good information from the threads.
If I missed some please do point to them.

All the best.
