Would you hike the Camino Portugues Central, from Porto, the first two weeks of January? Why or why not?
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Yes. I have walked it in January. A good time to walk if you want a quiet experience. Weather is unpredictable but being fairly close to the coast means temperatures are usually moderate.
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
Just be aware the 6th of January is a holiday and can affect restaurants, shops, accommodation etc.
But the CP from Porto is a great winter camino. I did it a few years ago in early January (up the coastal to Caminha as I had amazing weather for a few days then up the river to Valenca and Tui, and onwards).
