Camino Lebaniego
Hello all!

First time Camino, planning for late November of this year (2023). Just learned about the Jubilee year at the Monastery of Santo Toribio. Do you think the Camino Lebaniego is do-able as a solo traveler or would the worry of winter be too great? I know the Camino Vadiniense goes through mountains and could be dangerous so that's a no, but is the Camino Lebaniego similarly mountainous?

(I was originally thinking Camino Santiago on the Via de la Plata from Ourense before I learned about the Jubilee year! I've only got about 8 days including flying out so open to other routes/tips/tricks!)

The section from San Vicente to Santo Toribio is very mountainous. I would check the internet for average weather in the Picos de Europa and perhaps get in touch with the tourist office in Potes, but I think you will find that walking the Lebaniego in November is a seriously bad idea, and certainly not to be walked alone.
