Hey everyone,
I'm just new here, and I think this is the perfect place to ask a couple of questions.
1 - What kind of weather can I expect?
I'm currently planning to start in early May. I've been to Spain only once during summer, and it was HOT! Of course, being from the Netherlands, I'm not used to such high temperatures. What kind of weather can I expect in May and June?
2 - Can I sleep outside?
I've checked around a bit and found out that it might be a smart idea to NOT bring a tent. I'm not planning to sleep in the hostels since I wanna save as much money as I can, so I thought about buying a tent and just finding a spot outside to sleep. What about the temperatures at night? Is it possible (and allowed) to sleep outside in a tent in Spain? Or might it be so hot that I won't even need a tent? Ofcourse, it would save me some extra weight.
3 - Doubts?
Just out of curiosity, did any of you experience feelings of doubt right before setting of on your journey? I sometimes have doubts, and right now I'm in the early stages of planning. I simply force myself not to worry about them, because I know that if I don't do this pilgrimage I will regret it for the rest of my life. Of course, I am very enthusiastic about going and having this amazing experience, but at times it's a bit scary, the idea of walking on your own for about a month.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
