Anyone walking the Ingles this week?.Still few pilgrims? How's the weather conditions?
Walking it next week.
Thanks
Whilst I appreciate you may want this info to provide a little reassurance or to finalise your packing list, the reality is that the weather in Galacia especially along the coast changes so quickly that it's not funny. And numbers on the Camino change greatly depending on whether or not there is a local holiday. It's very popular with the Spanish because it's very easy to do in just four to five days. Although in May the numbers are gradually starting to climb according to the statistics, you certainly won't walk alone but as far as I'm aware there's no major holidays next week so it shouldn't be overly busy either. Unless of course you hit a tour group or three....
A quick check of the weather forecast will give you just as good a picture. For example at the moment Ferrol is really nice, whereas next week rain is forecast. The highs and lows aren't particularly extreme, it's relatively cool pretty much all of next week by the looks of things - between 12 and 18 degrees.
Last year when I walked the Inglés at the beginning of April (during Semana Santa) I walked in sunshine, and the temperatures ranged from minus four to 28 in one day.
People that walked one week after me had rain for half the week. And much cooler temperatures.
All you can do is plan for rain but hope that the weather forecast isn't accurate! It's a great camino, enjoy!
