Hello,
I'm Rob and I'm a newbie here in a forum. I'm thrilled about my plan to walk this year Camino de Santiago from Pamplona to Santiago de Compostela in October of 2019. Anyone can share their experience what typical climate I can expect during that time of season? How crowded the trail can be during that time?
Thanks,
Rob

Couldn't agree with you more!! Great advice for our newbie!In my opinion, October is the perfect time to walk. The early part of the month can be quite warm. By the end of the month, it can be quite cool, with some mornings hovering around the freezing point. To get a feel for the conditions, you could check my photos from my late Sept/Oct CF in 2015. www.tomnorthenscold.com/camino
Buen Camino!! Hope you have fabulous weather too!!Hello,

I was on the Camino from mid-September to mid-October and we were blessed with incredible weather. Not a day of rain except for a few drops once or twice. We started walking at 7 am in about 12 degrees and by 11 am sometimes it started getting a bit hot; 1 pm it could be in the high 20's. Nice and cool at night. But, as we all know, weather is "caprichosa". What I loved was stuffing ourselves with wild blackberries and figs along the trail! Yum Yum! And the sunflower fields were so beautiful! Buen Camino.Hello,

I walked the Frances beginning in SJPDP in sept last year. By october, weather was still mild but it was colder in the mornings. (It will also be dark for about the first hour or more of your daily hike.). No problem if you bring a lightweight puffy jacket you can scrunch up in your backpack, gloves, a scarf, and lightweight layers. As the day wears on, you will be removing most of these items under the warm autumn sun. I never needed handwarmers (as i do when hiking here in massachusetts) but the jacket, scarf, lightweight gloves will make a big difference in your comfort level.Hello,

Rob, - You should be thrilled! - I did it in 2016, SJPP - Santiago - Oct 6th - Nov 4th. Conditions were perfect, - not too hot or cold, but I you'll need everything from shorts & tee shirt to a fleece jacket. Some stragglers I met that ended up a week behind did experience some snow flurries in early November at higher elevations. Crowding is not a problem - it's just out of season, so you'll have plently of "space", and you'll meet some new friends too.Hello,
