I’m suppose to start the camino on the 9 th april but looking at the weather and videos of people walking tho high rivers is putting me off! Mmm I know it’s unpredictable rain but time I get to the flooded areas would be around 12/14 th april I guess. Are they still likely to like they are now?

But I live in Malaga, and my take is that you don't need to worry about it. Andalucia gets very little rain; so when a storm comes through, it feels like the apocalypse. But all that rainwater runs off pretty quickly. So, given that we're not expecting more rain in the next few weeks, things should be back to normal by the time you get here.
