A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum (or Camino)

No, Al, but a question which is Forum or Camino.
I have booked a flight on Wednesday morning to Oporto intending to walk the Camino de la Costa. The weather forecast is foul for the whole time I will be walking, except maybe for my arrival in Santiago.
I live in Madrid and the forecast for the same period in Almeria is sun and sun and sun. Since the flight only cost 20 euros and there is a wonderful costal walk by the Cabo de Gata I am wondering if any of the forums readers would ditch the wet, windy Camino and choose the Mediterranean footpath instead?
 
I guess I was a funny sight in October 2012 when I gave in to my blisters at Santo Domingo and walked from there to Burgos in purple crocs. When we got up on the last day it was dark and raining and nowhere was open for coffee. We climbed a steep hill, rain lashing down, so I needed windscreen wipers on my glasses. Couldn't see a thing and kept slipping backwards on stones in my crocs. Cold, wet, coffeeless, slipping about in the dark, and that was when a companion started singing "through the night of doubt and sorrow, onward goes the pilgrim band". I did contemplate murder at that point. Never been so glad to see the lights of an open bar in my life!
