November Pilgrim

[marbuck]

I see there is a thread for an October Pilgrim but we are interested in walking the central route from Porto in November. We will walk from Porto to Villa do Conde along the coast then head inland from there. We like the company of other pilgrims, walking in the cooler months but don't like walking in the rain.
(1) Are we likely to be walking with other pilgrims?
(2) Will it be too cold?
(3) Is it going to be a wet walk?
(4) Is there going to be accommodation and restaurant's open (hotel, pensions, etc.)?

Hi there @marbuck !

There is a thread where I'm trying to put together all pilgrims (From this Forum) that are going to walk any of the caminos in November, December and January.

I cannot give you any advice for the Portugues as this is one of the unknown paths for me (for now) but I'm pretty sure you can find people on the forum that has walked the portugues before in winter time.

Keep track of this page ( http://www.aprinca.com/alberguesinvierno/ ) where they usually list the oppened ALbergues during off-season ( winter) period!

Ultreia and good Luck!
