No politics, but the climate is...ah...well...has become unpredictable. I love early April on the Camino, you will be leaving right after Easter, watching Spring unfold, the holiday caminantes will mostly left back for home, after Route Napoléon mornings should be brisk say 5-7C gets you off to a quick start afternoons up to around 15C - pleasant walking. You will witness lots of funny sticks alongside the Camino, sticks which will slowly sprout leaves and height and develop into true and real vineyards. Fields of winter wheat and barley. Abundant wildflowers watch for the primroses, watch but don't touch-they are protected in Spain, villages with wonderful public and private gardens with mixtures of bulb flowers and later wisteria, wild foxgloves, buttercups, entire hills of blue lobelia, what the Spanish call pimpinela espinosa we in Israel call calandia after the Palestinian Arabic for candle since the flowers almost glow in the sunrise/sunset, also delicate lockspurs and many of the wild orchid family. Rain? There have been years I have walked under blue skies some fog or mist in the morning adding atmosphere, there have also been years when it seemed "the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened" one can never tell but it's a wonderful time to walk!!
