Hello everyone , Elizabeth here.
I know this has likely been asked a million times over, but I have read mixed reviews on the weather and conditions for walking in April 2017. So please accept my apology for yet another question posted on this topic
This would be my FIRST Camino (hopefully first of many) and I have roughly planned my days, starting from Burgos - due to limited time - and given myself a leisurely 25days of walking!!??
My "long list" of questions...
1. If I arrive in Burgos over Easter weekend (15/16/17 April), should I pre-book accommodation?
2. Will I be able to get a Credentials from Burgos over this holy weekend? Or better to have it posted to ZAR?
3. If I pack minimal clothing to layer, a good windbreaker and rain cover should this suffice ... considering that I do not experience temperatures below 5C in South Africa (we have wind and rain... but not snow or blizzards)
4. I am a fit 35YO and do not normally walk with hiking poles, however if there's going to be slippery mud or melting snow, would you recommend this?
Thanking all in advance for answering the questions.
Very excited and nervous at the same time.
Hoping to meet some fellow April 2017 pilgrims soon
