    best earliest time to go

    Thanks everyone for the great information. We're thinking now of leaving early April. This gives us more options for open Albergues, pubs etc while still being in front of the crowds and hopefully after the snow. Also, more likely we can walk the Napoleon route which would be nice to include...

    best earliest time to go

    Thanks Tom for your reply. We're thinking of walking in March so likely there will be a fair amount of snow from St. Jean so we may start in Pamplona. Being cold is ok when walking, probably preferable to being too hot. The amount of rain will just depend on luck I suppose as some years are...

    best earliest time to go

    best earliest time to go

    We'd like to walk the Camino Frances from Saint Jean Pied De Port to Santiago De Compostela in the spring/2017. We would really like to avoid the crowds but want to go when the albergues are open. We're not worried about a little rain. How early can we start?
