Spain has had the dryest winter since records began 70 years ago. If it doesn't rain plenty in Spring there will be droughts in summer. I imagine this may well have an effect on water supplies on the camino. Here's hoping for a wet spring :!:

The weather along the Camino has been severely nice, at least for walking. Cabeza de Manzaneda has not had any snow, so the winter must be a financial disaster for them an other ski resorts.

My fear is that it all is being saved for when I arrive to walk, and I will need snowshoes and/or a kayak!

A drought, sadly, will mean many more water bottles cast aside along the trail.

I hope all the praying people who hang out here will pray for rain here, and soon. The winter crops already are failing, and the fields and pathways on the meseta are the same talcum dust we usually only see in August and September. It´s so dry no one wants to plow and seed...which means no sunflowers in July.

I met 4 pilgrims sunbathing on the Camino Portuguese today between Redondela and Pontevedra - the weather was glorious but here in Galicia the farmers are very worried too.
