I want to put it on a sticker on my backpacka rainy Camino is better than no Camino!
Always remember: Rain is just fluid sunshine!Hi @MARSKA, I'm also leaving in a week from Pamplona via MAD on the CF. Our paths (posts) seem to cross. I was looking at the weather forecast with apprehension and I am happy to read (thanks @arkron ) that the weather app is not good: so either it is going to be sunny or the app is wrongI cannot postpone my start and trust in the camino. As a sun-devotee I may struggle with the rain but I am sure it will work out in the end. A good way to lower my control vibes, which for me can only be positive (see previous posts on managing my expectations on my expectations )) Wish you a buen camino and we'll probably meet on the way !
I think I will do just that - decide when I arrive. And you will probably be the first to know at breakfast!@MARSKA would you be comfortable deciding when you arrive? I haven't looked at weather forecasts, but now that you tell me the first ten days might be wet, I'll be so glad to be holed up in the monastery at Alloz for a week;-)
Beautiful!!!!!View attachment 167155
As an encouraging heads-up: this is live from SJPP as taken two hours ago. The weather app predicted rainy weather this afternoon, and now I’m sitting right at the river and enjoying a can of beer.

I'm trying to CONTROL both the FUTURE weather and FUTURE social contacts.

I walked through those storms on the Portuguese Coastal last November too! It was crazy ! But the spirits of the people walking were amazing - a lot of laughs still! Now I'm on the Via de la Plata, almost at Zamora, and have been wading through flooded arroyos .it's still amazing and wonderful to be here.You answered your own question. Happy to hear it.
Last November I walked on the Coastal Portugues. I had walked two other camino before I arrived Porto. The rain started the day I left on the bus from Leon to get to Porto and it was torrential. EVERY single day the rain was intense and it rained for most of the day. There were days when I was off the coast in the hills that I was walking in 5 or 6 inches, or more of running water. My feet were soaking wet within about 15 minutes of leaving. The third day as I was walking by the beach in a howling wind and horizontal rain, I thought, yes the weather sucks but where would I rather be. Of course the answer was no where else. This year I will do the Aragones again, then the Madrid and finally give the coastal another crack. Hope to do the Espiritual Variante and finish with one of my favorite little caminos to Muxia)H. opefully the weather will be better and the views more dramatic as often there was such dark and low moving clouds or foggy conditions. But even if the weather sucks, where would we both rather be?
You are so right about the laughter. Even though there weren't alot of people that were in the albergues that I stayed in at night. The rain, without a doubt was a common and strong bond of laughs and a little bit of whining which was more for laughs than complaints.I walked through those storms on the Portuguese Coastal last November too!
