I like to walk about 20km, but that is not a magic number. I have walked in excess of 30km some days. I do like the flexibility of zero or nero days especially in Pamplona, Burgos, León, Astorga ... At least one a week. I have averaged about ~45 days on the Francés. I do not plan ahead.

Maybe this will help.

@AbuelitaWalking Try getting some oversized diswashing gloves in the supermercado ... they may look funky but work well over gloves when it is cold and rainy.
I have walked to Villar de Mazarife and San Martin del Camino. The walk to Villa de Mazarife was nicer. The walk to San Marin de Camino was mostly along the road. I did have one of the best pilgrim meals in San Martin del Camino at Albergue Vieira.

Rain kit ?.0: Zpacks rain jacket, rain kilt, calf height rain gaiters, and rain mitts. I prefer this kit because it breathes as much as possible while wearing it. YMMV
Rain jacket - I like pit zips in a rain jacket, and I also wear a baseball cap under the hood to shield my face. (eyes).

I have started in late September ~20th at 7:00AM 🤣 from SJPdP. I walked into Santiago on November 1 All Saints Day. I did not encounter a race for beds etc., but I stayed off stages a lot. There were a couple of albergues near the end that were starting to close. Afterward (early November) on...

I have also bookmarked NH for next time. Just across the river outside the city gate.

I have not spent a full day off, but I have lingered (recovered) from Calle Laurel the night before. I walked a short day after Logroño to Navarette. The retablo is incredible. There is also a small Michangelo behind the main altar...
There have been a couple of threads about the Invierno recently. @peregrina2000 indicates in post 26 "When we were still crowd-sourcing the forum Invierno guide (now safely housed in the WisePilgrim app)".

There was a mini San Fermin festival in late September that I had the chance to experience. No running of the bulls, but a parade. Sights: Catdedral, Meson del Caballo Blanco outdoor bar with a great view of the city walls near the catedral, Calle San Nicolas for tapas bars, Caminoteca for last...
Maybe one of these would work. I brought one back and it is hanging next to the front door.

@Willdtrout surfing early morning over coffee and not full awake ... I read "wild trout on the Camino". I have thought about fishing a couple of times and was hoping for detail. 🤣
Anyway still hoping for details and some pics.
¡Suerte!
