- Time of past OR future Camino
- June: Camino Frances from Pamplona
Hello all!
I want to hike the Camino in either September or April. Which would be the better month for getting through the Pyrenees? Are the passes even open and if so which month would they be most likely to be open? Are the Albergues open in the mountains these times of year?
And the question about what to wear. I am planning to travel light. I wore sandals, shorts and T-shirts exclusively when I hiked from Pamplona to SDC last year, and I'm guessing that won't wash in the Pyrenees. I would want to wear boots and perhaps some Down clothing (or am I wrong?). My plan is to bring the extra footwear and clothing to SJPDP, then DHL them back (to the USA) in Pamplona. Does this sound like a good plan?
Thanks for any info!
Warmly,
Barry
