Forget about weather forecasts the last four years have proven that one cannot count on past years to predict what may or may not happen. Four years ago in April a party ignored the warnings from the tourist office and one from northern climes was helicoptered out suffering from hypothermia, three years ago it was pretty warm, two years ago very warm, and last year there was no real Spring, winter hung on until boom it was summer in late May. So do ask at the tourist office Easter comes later 2014, April 20th, so early April should be less pilgrims but more chance for snow. Then again, we living here in Jerusalem are taught, that since the Prophet Daniel, the gift of prophecy has been granted only to fools. Believe the good folks at the tourist office and know - nothing, absolutely nothing happens on the Camino by chance - if you can go by Route Napoleon it was meant to be it not go Valcarlos and accept it-somewhere along the Camino you will meet someone experience an epiphany or a different enlightenment only because you have followed your own way-not mysticism nor New Age blarney-experience and fact.
