    Best time/temperature to walk the Camino Frances

    When I talk to folks who have walked numerous routes & locations over multiple years, no year is the same for rain/snow. Yet I do take notice that some settle into a fall walk Oct- Nov or an Early April Thru May. Then you meet the folks who really like the heat. July - August. Personally I...

    Planning for Camino Frances April 2023 - How cold is it?

    You never know why you will get on any given year. I was glad for my sleeping bag the first half of April, by the third week blankets or just a down blanket was plenty.

    Monte de Gozo - statue commemorating visit of pope has been removed

    Everything can change. Yet I found it important that the Pope had visited the site. So I am a bit sad his statue was removed. it will be interesting what Object or monuments I will find on the next Camino other than the Francis. As most are placed with heart felt reason.

    solo on march

    Lol he did have an amazing voice, yet I do believe a Camino may have been just what he needed.

    solo on march

    I must ask did you put this together? I smile because Elvis is an Interesting choice, yet can you imagine him walking back in 1976 :) he would make quite a walking mate.

    solo on march

    I totally get the concern about being alone, I think worse case you may have to dine alone. But I think the sooner you communicate your wish to have a walking “family” you may be suprised at those that feel the same. Harsh weather seems to pull people together. Buen Camino Keith

    Where are the arrows?

    I found you can see the spires as it is on a small hill. But if you leave to walk to Finnesterre/Muxia get a map,the green arrows take you but the arrows change to yellow & back to green. Unless they have redone them since 2014. Once in Santiago it is easy to find maps

    Is there demand for an alternative but integretated hostal/albergue in O Cebreiro?

    Since you ask about experience of staying I want to reiterate what others have mentioned it is mountain terrain, the farming difficult & finding an old Farmhouse that is not falling in will be difficult. Like most mountain communities they do everything themselves, so you will need a good...

    Let’s talk budgets.

    It was not until I returned I found for those of us living close to Canada the benefit of crossing the border & driving to the nearest large city savings 50-75%. Keith

    As seasons change albergue times you must be out by do not

    That’s a bummer! Like you I attempted a couple dark walks what I found was I had to use my Le flashlight that could light up a long way but would blind anyone misfortunate to step into the beam. So I stopped using it & waited til daylight. For those walking in winter it must be a bugger.

    Let’s talk budgets.

    I have to mention in my opinion take a wallet. I think I lost money because I just put my cash in shirt pockets, back pockets, pack pockets, jacket pockets .. When I thought I should have cash couldn’t find any. In other words I think I dropped cash. I only stayed at alburgue s& ate only...

    Observations after Completing the Camino Frances

    Well done, did you ever take separate routes?

    Villafranca

    Just a couple suggestions about fires if you can’t see more than 300 Meters, your in bad smoke for your health bus out of it. If you see fire in the distance with high winds the smoke will puff big plumes of smoke in a row turn around & bus around it. Fire moves very fast in those conditions it...

    Camino April/May 2018

    No you will find travel to your starting point may be the most time consuming prep. Once you find the yellow arrows follow them. the rest you will figure out quick. The guide books will help you see how easy it is to follow. I think from my conversation with a group that was touring it was the...

    Fire at Triacastela

    The news I read said that the majority of those fires in Spain & Portugal is arson. So the wind will dictate. Be very careful. BBC news

    Pilgrim

    I agree! if you are drawn to the sculpture go into the basement of the Prada, where there is art from pilgrims centuries old.
