Take lightweight hat and gloves mornings can be quite chilly.

You'll need a sleeping bag because nights are cold and many albergues do not turn on heat.

Buen camino to you.

Hi @Ravens0035
Strangely ., from reading the forum over past 5 years., I am always in awe of many postings of weather (at least during the day) in the period you’re asking about. I would assume like yourself to expect to be cold too at that time , but so many seem to be blessed with beautiful walking conditions. None of us here on the forum can give you the ‘right’ answer to that question tho. You just have to go with your decision once you’ve booked your flight. IMHO , I think you’ll be lucky.
Definitely have your warm layers with you, a snuggly sleeping bag, and rain gear as insurance though.
Buen Camino
Annie

The weather will likely be mostly good until you get to Galicia, but you'll be an experienced pilgrim by then. Take hat, gloves, rain gear, sleeping bag and layers. Layers are much better than individual heavy items. I found a down vest to be wonderful in the evenings. You will not have a problem finding open albergues, but be sensible and don't arrive in a tiny village and expect lodging without checking in advance.

November/DEcember was one of the most amazing caminos I walked.

End of Autumn is just lovely!

You shouldn't find any problems finding accommodation...

Weather-wise. Not too cold, and not as wet as end of winter.

I'll most definitely do another late autumn camino!!
