Hi,
I am looking at starting the Camino in Feb of 2014. I am Canadian and from my reading I see that there is quite a bit of snow in the mountains. Are they completely impassable at this time? My understanding is that there are many routes to get to Santiago so I would like to take the best one for that time. I have yet to book flights as well and would like to know the easiest way/city to get to a start point, and the best way to leave Santiago after I finish. (I am waiting for seat sales after Christmas)
I do have lots of hiking experience as I grew up in Northern Ontario, both summer and winter but I have never been overseas before so I want to make sure I am as prepared as possible. I am bilingual in French and English and I recently purchased Rosetta Stone to learn Spanish as I feel it is my responsibility to learn the language of the place I am going to. Plus it will make my life easier.
If there is any other tips or things you can suggest that would be great.
Thank you.
