Mid April is a good time to walk, it can still be cold and wet but it will starting to warm up, it is also a very beautiful time to walk, flowers will be starting to bloom and everything is green and fresh. It is also less busy than later in the year.Thanks Jenny I like what you said about more options for travel after the walk. I have been reading what others have said about the cold so I have at least made one decision, not to go early in the year.
Hospilateros were saying June is the quietest monthsI have been wondering when the best time is to go September seems very popular, as I intend to do it slowly up to 3 months what would be better walking into the winter session or into the summer
Hi Suzie -
Just a thought ... as you intend to have a long Camino - up to three months - if you walked in the Spring going into Summer it gives you more options for travelling to other parts of Spain, and also other European countries afterwards, while the weather's warm. As you know, it's a l o n g way from Australia ... make the expense of the airfares work for you to the max.
Buen Camino for whatever time of year you go - it will be completely wonderful.
Take joy in every step -
Cheers - Jenny
most pilgrims are a bit aprehensive before they start particularly if it is their first walk. But after a few days on the Camino you will know how it all works and feel confident .thank you I think I can do it on my own looking forward to meeting more helpful folk like you, blessings sue
I am not sure when to start my walk, after winter of after summer I will take my time and expect 3 months should do all and see all that I can in that time frame.
