Nobody can tell you with any accuracy what the weather will be like, the Norte in November is totally unpredictable.I made my Camino del norte in 2018 as well and my first day on the way was the 31th October or the 1th of November (not sure ATM to be honest...
And I haven't had any issues to find albergues. Well ... At the first stages it was a little adventures... And I slept in some air bnbs which where prepared for pilgrim rooms...
But nontheless I had a great Camino with some warm and sunny days and a lot of rainy days.
Would I do it again in November?
Definitely!
It’s not common, campgrounds are rare on the Caminos and wild camping is illegal in Spain. But of course people do it anyway. This is a touchy subject with strong opinions, and there are a lot of posts about this subject if you search for “camping“ on this forum. The search bar is at the top of the page on the right.Do pilgrims camp in tents
Hello Hadley. I am also starting my camino from Bilbao November 2nd.I'm thinking of doing one week of the Camino del Norte, from Bilbao, either 5-11 November or 21-27 November. My concers are rain and accommodation. Am I being crazy? Will the weather be awful, or will it be OK? I don't mind having one day of rain, but a whole week of rain may be too much.
I walked the whole of the Camino France in 2016 (October/November), and one week of the Norte (Irun to Bilbao) in September 2018 and it seemed much harder to get a room on the Norte, and a couple of nights I had to take a detour off the route to find somewhere to stay. I remember a winter albergue list for the Frances ... is there something similar for the Norte?
I wish I could walk the whole of the route in one go, just like the Camino Frances in 2016, but alas I don't have the time right now, but hopefully I will have the chance another year!
Thank you in advance for your advice!
I'm in Asturias just now and the weather is surprisingly beautiful! Can't say what it'll be like next week, though!I'm thinking of doing one week of the Camino del Norte, from Bilbao, either 5-11 November or 21-27 November. My concers are rain and accommodation.
