Time of past OR future Camino
June 2015
I will start the Camino Françès in June 1, is there a lot of mosquitos on the way, should i bring some anti-mosquitos spray?
 
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.
There must've been some mosquitos on my walk but I don't remember having been bothered. Leave the spray at home and buy one on the way if necessary.
 
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
July-Aug 2014. I think I saw one the day after Roncevalles. And I squashed it. So you should be clear. Bigger issue is bedbugs (see other threads).
 
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
France, Spain and I suppose most of Europe are well known for not using insect screens. If there was a mosquito problem I suspect that would change.
