Frances this year in November

[Livi1]

Hi, anyone out there tackling the Frances this year in November? I want to go but am a bit scared because of the late season.
Would love to hear from people who are also contemplating. For all of you ob the road... buen camino

If you start from SJPdP, Napoleon route is already closed. So via Valcarlos to Roncesvalles or take a bus.
Maybe you start from Roncesvalles or maybe Pamplona?
Ultreia!

In November last year, 1,604 pilgrims arrived in Santiago after starting in SJPP (4,718 arrivals in total, including those starting after SJPP). Numbers drop significantly over the month of December, but there should hopefully be enough people walking in November to allow for a bit of company along the way.

Hi, I plan starting from Burgos this week. It would be nice to meet other pilgrims along the way.

I’m on the Frances now. Plenty of pilgrims about. Lots of albergues closed but there is always a bed in the bigger towns. 9 days of great weather but now it’s cold windy an a bit wet. We will be in Burgos Wednesday night and there are plenty of others as well. Buen Camino

Hi all friends who are now on the way of Camino. I knew now it is winter season and daily transportation is impossible.
did you ever have experience of arranging rucksack to next destination ? was Albergue able to call taxi or any agent to help?
I’ m really worried my back pain caused by 7-8 kg of backpack.
I already asked and wrote so many email to ask agent but no Service is unavailable.

Hi Chihan,
Jacotrans is still delivering bags, but not NCS or Correos.
Well, I can only speak of the section between Burgos and Leon.
And not sure how long they will continue to offer the service.
Meanwhile, if you need a place to stay in Castrojeriz, we're open at the albergue Orion!
