Hi folks,
Seeking feedback from those in the know...
I have one of those pesky birthdays-with-the-round-ending coming up next year, and - having walked the Frances three times - I really like the idea of turning [cough]ty as I walk into Santiago. But my birthday falls a week before Christmas.
My past Caminos have been in April/May (damp but so pretty) and September/October (dry and earthy). But arriving in Santiago on 19 December would mean cold, wet, maybe snowy and...?
Has anyone walked from mid- November through to just before Christmas? What was it like? What were the high and lowlights, and would you do it again?
I'm not looking for a crystal ball here, but general experiences. (Also, I'm from the southern part of Australia - we do get cold here, but snow is rare.)
Thoughts?
