Just start walking. The weather is just something you have to endure and boy can it rain in Galicia. I never minded walking in the rain, even when I met a guy coming up the trail towards me in Galicia. He was carrying some planks, hammer and nails. Said his name was NoahBonjour from rainy Bayonne.
I was planning to start my journey tomorrow or Sunday. It's pouring rain today. Pouring. Should I wait longer, maybe Monday for the trail to dry out a bit before beginning?
I've also heard there is a market on Monday in SJPP. Worth seeing?
Thanks for your advice and tips.
A few years ago, it rained 26 of 31 days in May. Waiting for rain to end, can be futile!Should I wait longer for the trail to dry out
Thanks for the advice. I bought a jacket today and I'm in SJPP. Merci!If you have time, you could try waiting. But in truth, that kind of rain is unavoidable on the Camino, especially in the Basque country and in Galicia. There will be rain and there will be mud between where you are right now and Santiago. But do you have decent raingear? If not, definitely go get some (there's a good shop near the Cathedral).
The market in SJPP is nice, and you can get some things to munch on while going up the hill.
Hi David,All will be well .. you will carry that jacket over to Roncesvalles and into gorgeous weather and eventually wonder why you carry the extra weight, but the day you discard it it will rain for a week !!(or not).
Hi Fleur@Annette london
Often after massive heat waves come thunder storms and heavy rain. Be prepared!
Hi Annette. Feeling thunder here in the London area. Rain and heat coming over to us now.Hi Fleur
