- Planning to walk Camino Frances (2020)
Hello everyone. Very much enjoy reading about everyones' experiences and advice. A mate of mine and I have recently retired and are planning to do the Camino Frances next year. Deciding when to do the journey has been complicated a little by a thought of our wives flying over from Australia after we finish so we could do a tour together in Portugal or France. However, as my wife still teaches she is limited to school holidays. The idea has been suggested that we do our tour in the Aussie Christmas holidays which start in the second week of December, so if my friend and I are to spend say 5 - 6 weeks on our pilgrimage we would be leaving SJPDP late October or at the beginning of November. I've read varying views on what we might encounter at that time of the year, and I'm not so keen on the idea now. Having said that, we are happy with the idea of walking in cooler weather (which would be a nice change from the hot Aussie summer) and when there are less pilgrims on the track.
I'd very much appreciate any thoughts, encouragement or warnings from anyone who has travelled at that time of the year.
Looking forward to this challenge and the excitement of planning and preparing over the coming months.
Cheers and thanks.
