The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Google "el tiempo oporto" and see what the weather report looks like. You also check for other places you will be in as you walk on.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Well that was disappointing - I typed spaces between the temperature but you'll get the drift!
 
The late Rev. Philip J. Wren, of CSJ and Camino fame, frequently and famously quipped: "The rain in Spain, falls mainly on ... GALICIA!"

There IS a reason why Galicia looks a lot like parts of Ireland...lots of "soft days...";)
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I've had "soft" days in Ireland where it felt like the raindrops were trying to pierce your skull!

On second thoughts, carry the poncho AND an umbrella!
