Apologies if this has already been asked!

I was wondering if any one had walked the Camino ingles at Christmas and what their experience was?

Any insight would be useful!

Hi Charlotte!
I walked the CI last November 2021 (not really Christmas) from Ferrol to SdeC. It is a short but pretty tough Camino. Of course we were still under COVID restrictions so accommodation was not easy as 75% beds were blocked out in certain Albergues.
Also not too many Peregrinos walk the CI.
It will be cold because of the Bay of Biscay / Atlantic winter setting in with possibilities of rain/sleet.. some of the ascents are rather tough but I completed it in just under 5 days. 120 km .. take your time !
Very Best

Hi Charlotte,

Looking to do the same with eta SdC 24/12. Expecting to stay in private accommodation at that time of year.

Buen Camino,

Some accommodation will close at Christmas/New Year/Epiphany so make sure you have it sorted it out in advance. Also bars, shops restaurants etc can also be closed so be prepared with food etc
