Well it won't be so snowy....So.... tell me about the weather in July
Great story Gumba. Predicting the weather is tricky, best to look at climate data. As to the draw of the Camino, I too have wrestled with this (for several years). On the other hand, it always seems like an odd question. Do we wonder why we love to golf, or surf, or rock climb, or play bridge or poker, or whatever? Most of the time it is a combination of factors. Like any other activity or adventure that I enjoy, there are many aspects that appeal to me. The religious, cultural, historical, and social parts are what I absolutely cannot find in the mainland USA. Buen Camino!
Are you going to share with us the identity of your toughest camino yet?All I can say is -It is extraordinary isn't it? I've just got back from what I think was my toughest camino yet - and already I am thinking about the next one ....
Thank you for your kind comments.
We met a lot of people (mostly Irish and Brits and Germans) that just do one week each year (or twice a year) and were all quite happy for the experience. !
Beeks, we left on a Sunday - 19th of March.....When are you going?
Beeks, we started our Camino towards the end of an incredible cold snap the covered most of Europe - lots of snow all over. I think our experience was more the exception than the rule. A lot more places will be open along the way in April. There were only a few bars open along the way which added to our misery as it was difficult to find something open for a snack/rest/coffee. We did have a lot of sunshine. To be honest, the rain did not worry us. Only one day where it was really pelting down. As long as you are warm! April will be a lovely time, I am sure. I see you are going with your family - kids? How old are they? It was such an amazing experience for our boys. We met a few other children along the way, it was lovely.We're leaving SJPdP on April 10... Praying for a mild winter!
Suggest finding the list of swimming pools/spots somewhere here on the forum.
I'll also see if I can find them.
Really great end for the day if it has been hot. As it surely will be.
For a start there is 'Camping Urrobi' a couple of Ks off the Camino, just on fm Burgette, so not far from Roncesvalles.

Gerard
