Oh what brave people you are considering walking in 5C - I can already feel my body going into reject mode -I know it happens sometimes on a camino that a cold front moves in but I cannot imagine knowing and wanting to do that!! I wish you a buen camino and hope that it does not go any lower than that!!!!My teacher husband has discovered that he doesn't have to be back at school until January 4th. Since we enjoyed our New Year's week walking the Levante from Valencia a few years ago, just starting the Camino de la Lana looks like a very good idea. Besides, New Year's Eve in Spain is fun - grapes and all!
Has anyone here walked it in winter? I know that further north, there is likely to be actual winter weather, but anything above 5C is fine for us, and we'll only have 8 days of walking.

My husband's colleague offered to take his lesson on Friday January 4th.
We now have tickets!
We fly into Alicante on December 26th, and fly home form Alicante on January 6th.
In exchange, I had to promise we'll visit the amazing Restaurante Maralba in Almansa, where they fed us so very, very well when we walked by on the Levante a few years ago. They no doubt deserve their extra Michelin star.
This will not be a hardship.
I wonder how far we'll get!
HeidiL, I guess the weather and temperature might be suitable for a Norwegian from Finnmark wanting to escape from a dark and cold January in the north??
Caudete to Almansa. Well over the alleged 26.6 km, but very nice. Varied paths and roads, pleasant places to sit. Had lunch on the platform outside a house belonging to the railway.
No facilities, we had a picnic!It looks like you took another way from the way I did , sounds longer but with facilities.

Heidil can you tell me what street in Alicante does the camino de la lana start. Thanks.Thanks, Heidi, for your informative postings. We'll be starting on the Lana around the 18th or 19th of this month.
Buen Camino!
