In 2018 I left StJdP on 25 May and arrived in SDC on 25 June. It was just a tad cool to start but never got unbearably warm in late June. (A few hot days, but not everyday.) I’m also told I beat the big surge of hikers who start in June.
I hiked SJPDP to Santiago last year, 22 May to 25 June, and had rain every few days over the first couple of weeks, and a couple times I was wet nearly to the skin. Later, the Ponferrada to Santiago stretch had several days in the 90 degree F range. Nothing stopped my daily plans, and you adjust...
I just finished the Camino 3 weeks ago and did this exact thing: a doughnut shaped moleskin around a big blister. It takes the direct pressure off the blister. If you are concerned about infection - I agree that getting it looked at sounds very prudent.
Re pensiones: are they easily found or identified? I leave in 4 days and want to stay/sleep/rest 2 nights in a few places - and preferably not in an albergue. Clues to finding or spotting them?
Need a ride to St Jean PP? I’ve booked a ride with http://www.expressbourricot.com/ at 16H from the airport to St Jean PP: it’s a van for 8, so far it’s just Me. The more passengers, the cheaper it is per person. Email Express Bourricot and jump in the van for a one hour trip. Please.
