Good day, pilgrims and friends:
I am pondering starting the Camino de Madrid in mid-February and getting as far as I choose to go, while also exploring Segovia, Valladolid, & perhaps Palencia whilst in that region. I am also thinking about visiting Sevilla and Salamanca first, for wintertime temperature reasons, and then starting the Camino de Madrid in, say, early March.
I will not need to return home until about mid-April so I think that that duration in weeks of the walk will not be an issue but I am wondering if mid-February would be a suitable Camino de Madrid start time, or should I delay it by two or three weeks. I don't mind cool or moderately cold weather but snow / continuous rain would be deprecated. Also, am a bit concerned that starting too early will trigger problems with hotels and cafés being still seasonally closed.
Any comments about my proposed start date would be appreciated.
Thanks ...
