hello all. I just stumbled upon this thread and was curious if anyone knew current weather conditions from SJPP to Roncesvalles. My son and I plan on departing SJPP the morning of April 7th and would like to make it all the way to Roncesvalles first day. Need we bring boots for potential snow...

Movinmaggie, I'm 55 and my son is 18. I'm fortunate to have a...
Good morning, Kanga.
Many thanks for sharing your insights. One last question, if I may; based on the time we are planning to walk (March 26 to May 1st) will the Camino Frances be lightly traveled and therefore accommodations in which to choose plentiful? When we arrive for our first nights...
