- Time of past OR future Camino
- March 2012 will be my first
Hi everybody.
I have long wanted to walk the Camino and have an opportunity to take 10 days off of work at the end of March.
I'm looking to walk from Ponferrada to Santiago and was wondering about the path and weather. I have had a look through the forum and there are lots of people asking about walking in March, however these seem to centre more around a specific point that may be impassable.
Looking at the weather forecast, it looks as if I should expect some rain and it can of course be pleasant in March or unpleasant. However, I did want to ask a few questions, specifically:
- I will be walking over Easter (arriving in Santiago on Easter Saturday). Will I have any problems with places being open on the route or am I likely to be ok this close to Santiago?
- What is the path like on this stretch. Could poor weather prove problematic and make it difficult?
- I don't mind a bit of rain and cold (I'm from Britain!), but would not particularly want to walk for days in sodden rain. Is it rewarding to walk in this time period or would I be better saving it for another time when I can go at a different point in the year?
Thanks in advance for your help.
