Thanks for your insight Richard. I guess you just never know how the weather will be. In my two walks through Spain - the Frances in 2014 and the Madrid in 2017 - they were unseasonably warm and dry. Maybe this year in France it will get real.
Thank you Arn. I guess weather is a consideration, especially at that time of year. Plus I can do without a crowd. I enjoyed the Camino Frances for the fellow pilgrims when I did it in April 2014, but discovered when I did the Madrid Camino last year that the absence of traffic didn't trouble...
Hello friends, I am looking at routes to take this spring - from early April to mid/late May 2018 and can't decide between the Le Puy route and the Arles route. Would be grateful for any thoughts. Thanks, Steve.

Greetings Undermanager. I arrive in Madrid on Thursday April 27 and head out the following Monday. I will look forward to your blog (no pressure) if I can manage a truce with my i-devices. Kind regards, Steve
Hello Peregrina Laurie. I will be on the CdM end of April/most of May. How moist does it get in May? I did the Frances in spring 2014, unseasonably mild and dry that year. I am anticipating a warm and dry CdM? Grateful for your/anyone's thoughts. Steve
