The Time Frame of a Camino Frances Walk During the Winter

[Croquiabi]

Hello! I am curious to know, generally, how long a Camino Frances walk during the winter might take. After doing some research, I understand that short hours of sunlight and the closing of albergues can be limiting factors during the walk. If anyone with experience could share their knowledge and general time frame, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

I found its pretty much the same as any other time of the year. My walking speed is pretty slow (3.5-4 kms / hours) and starting around 8:00am when it was daylight I’d still arrive at my destination around 2:00-3:00pm, well before dark. With a few rest days, for me it’s around 35-36 days from SJPDP. Great time of the year to be there so enjoy!

I was watching this vlog in past days:

It gives almost the same answer as @jozero . You'll also see what kind of weather conditions you can expect in winter on CF.

I too found it much the same. Here the blog of my experience if that is any help.

For some reason the link doesn't work. Safari can't find the address.

I think I found it by Googling it. Here is the link that worked: http://mywintercamino.blogspot.com/
