I am not the blog writing type but I will drop by here from time to time over the next few weeks with brief updates of my walk from Logrono to Leon. The winter walkers who have posted practical information on this forum have been invaluable to my own walk preparations and so I wanted to be able to offer the same to those also about to embark or who are considering walking at this time of year in the future.
Love to hear any questions you have about that particular stretch or just walking in February in general. I leave home today and will start walking in a week's time.
Vaya con Dios!

Made me think of a winter camino!
Chute (best thing ever)? Need some language help!

Thanks, brawblether, an extremely interesting and helpful post.
I've walked the meseta twice, once in early autumn and once in late autumn. I don't like to choose favourites on the Camino, it's all wonderful, but if I had to, it would be the meseta. I've started thinking vaguely about walking from Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Leon in February next year, and would love to hear some detail of the weather conditions you experienced. I've looked at a few long-term weather sites and was surprised to learn, for example, that February averages only half the rainfall of January. I appreciate that no two years are the same; still, a bit of real-world information never goes astray.
Buen camino,
Wes
This may be of interest. I walked from Burgos to Leon February '14 http://www.caminodesantiago.me/comm...ds/My-Camino-Pics-Feb-2014.24558/#post-190944
Beautiful photos. You can tell it's pretty cold since you have that hat close to your head pretty often! But the Meseta looks so stunning with that light green growth- and that snow at the end was just magic!Here are some photos from my walk. Definitely, definitely consider a February Camino, it was good beyond all expectations.

fleece (bulky to walk in, let wind through too easily, next time I'd look for a thin jacket that didn't let air through
