Weather - rain in spain in Sept?!

[lizzief]

Hi

I am a new pilgrim taking part in the final part of the Galician way from Sept 8th for 7-10 days? Just curious as to the weather conditions at that time of the year? Do we need to bring rain coats?
Thanks

Yes. It can rain any time in Galicia.

Someone here had a great quote--"There liars, damn liars, and "My Fair Lady"--The rain in Sapain falls mainly on Galicia"

Thanks for being so helpful! Just as well we like walking in the rain!!

I coined the quote when I arrived in June 1998 in Santiago in heavy rain.

In my imagination I thought I would walk up the cathedral steps in bright sunshine wearing just a T shirt, shorts and suncream. Ha!

You most definately will need a coat because it can also be cold. Check the FAQ's for which sort of coat you might want to have. I wear a Berghaus gortex, the one in the photo.

Sod's law says you will arrive in T shirt etc. I got sunburned last December in Galicia on two days so just be prepared for anything. :shock:
