a happy and prosperous new year to everybody.
i will be walking el camino de la plata hopefully starting the first week of february from sevilla with rest days in sevilla, caceres, salamanca, zamora and ourense. i will be coming from london and have no time limitation.
i have noticed quite a few of my fellows peligrinos/peligrinas have walked this route in the winter time. i will appreciate any advice, guidance, recommendations from anyone of you. i am more worry about the terrain and the elements. i would be very interested as to what to bring in terms of clothing and equipment as i want to keep the weight of my backpack to a minimum without freezing during my walk. i know walking in the spring is not the same as walking in the winter. i am especially as to albergues that are closed dowm during this time. i am budgeting 6 weeks of walking, not counting the rest days. also, what to pack for the walk in the winter.
a little bit about myself. i live in london and am retired. i am 69 and in good health. i have never walked the el camino in the winter time. however, i have walked the el camino frances this past may/june from st jean pied de port to santiago de compostela in 31 days.
thank you all in advance. god bless, pio.
