Camino Preparation Guide
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
I walked the VdlP this February and posted my updates here https://www.caminodesantiago.me/com...es-via-de-la-plata-february-abril-2016.38377/ The one thing I would say is that it was still cold/coolish for the most part during mornings and evenings once I left Sevilla behind and I even had a short snow shoer near Fuenterobles. As you are starting a bit later that might be less so - or not. Also do take rain gear and beware of the stream crossings, especially if the early Spring was rainy. Buen Camino, SY
 
I also walked in February (2014).
Weather can vary a lot, the winter we did it there was lots of flooding of Arroyos which we had to wade through - no big deal after the first time. My person limit is up to above my knee. Varying opinions but I just walk through without taking off my socks or shoes.

Most nights we slept in our sleeping bags next to the (moveable) electric radiators but walking during the day was fine with a thin jacket and thermal t-shirt.

Don't forget the rain gear - I wore a poncho. It never poured all day but there were those days that drizzled. Lovely skyscapes with ominous clouds.

Buen Camino!
