The Time Frame of a Camino Frances Walk During the Winter

Time of past OR future Camino
I plan to walk the Camino Frances this coming June (2018).
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.
