After 3 days of rain it is very muddy at the moment for the last few k into the town.

Hope it clears up for you Al. The weather forecast made us think that we were glad not to be on the Camino Inglés at present. (Every cloud has a silver lining) We went to the Devon County Show instead (today). Cars had to be pushed the final few feet into line to park and then towed out of the field by a tractor when we left - ours included.
The Camino gear was very useful at times - rucksacs on, wore our boots all day and ponchos when it rained.
We felt quite at home.

Had a similar experience in 2012. Both boots weighed a few kilos extra due to the clinging clay mud.
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Gaiters will be much more effective. Has been a rainy Spring from just after Easter into early summer everywhere from Vezelay until Hotanos and beyond.

Gaiters don't stop the lead-heavy clods of mud that stick like concrete to the soles of shoes!
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

That will be toning up the leg muscles...,

After Azofra in May last year, I mud-skied into Santo Domingo!
I fell at least twice.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Have to agree with this....the mud on the Camino IS so heavy and sticky.
