November camino?

[aliciag56]

There's a very outside chance I could leave around 10/19, start 10/21 or so. If I can stay longer than 3 weeks, any idea of what I can expect weather wise? It would be my preference to do this mid-may to June but that might not be possible, November might be a better bet. Thoughts?

Great choice! Yes, there will be chilly nights, but, if you are lucky, also gloriously sunny days. No suffocating heat and no bed race. Enjoy and Buen Camino, SY

I would rather walk in October-November than May-June.

You can expect all kinds of weather and should go prepared. You don't need to take heavier clothes - see other threads on layering.

We arrived to the coast November 24th and it was a great time!

Sound like a great option to me! I haven't really walked the camino Frances (apart from the bit from Astorga to Santiago de Compostella) but from what people say about the volume of traffic during summer, I think November would be a great time to be on the camino. I hope to walk the Camino Francais around November, perhaps in 2018...
