Hi

I am considering walking from Leon to Sarria starting mid October . Any insight into what weather to expect would be welcome. Am I likely to encounter snow in the mountains ?
Thx

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.

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.

I walked starting Leon mid October last year and it was cold in the morning but very hot by mid-day. There was snow in the mountains, but it was incredibly beautiful. Buen Camino!

Autumn, unpredictable and variable. :)
Anyway, snow in Spain does not usually appear until late November.

Last year I walked through snow flurries on that stretch between Montes de Oca and San Juan de Ortega then woke up to snow the following morning on October 31st in Atapuerca. It snowed all the way down then the sun came out in Burgos!

In previous years I've cleared both Foncebadón and O Cebreiro in the winter without snow.

As a side point, but very important to know, mos albergues close around October 15th or 31st. Use the following website to get I information on those open in the winter. It is active as of November1st.www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/

YES. Sorry, I was thinking about the mountains in my area when I wrote it. My apologies
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Here is a link that I have used, you can easily check on visual graphs the average weather conditions in locations all over and even if/when there is daylight savings time.
