Starting in Burgos

[neil15]

I will start walking the camino on 22nd december from Burgos-Santiago over the Christmas/new year period. Can anybody please update me or advise me on general camino necessities. albergues/ hotels that may or may not be open etc during the different stages to Santiago.

neil15,

Within a month you will be on your way; how excited you must be counting the days.

Do scan this recent Forum thread for posts/ links by many of us who have walked at this time to help you prepare your winter camino.

For you walking west from Burgos difficult stretches after storms might be from Rabanal across Monte Irago to Ponferrada and, of course, O Cebreiro.

Wherever you do begin it is most important to be prepared for storms and not take chances; walking in snow takes practice.

Happy research, Buen camino and Merry Christmas !

Hello, I too will be starting around that time, flying to Madrid on Monday the 2oth, and should be in Burgos by the 22nd. Anyhow, I will look out for you. My name is Chico, I am Canadian.
