Have you considered walking the Camino off-season? In the winter? It's quiet, it's moody, it's fabulous! But you might want to read this first

Thanks. In previous years experienced pilgrims have posted (in some cases in much detail) their winter Camino travels. A book collecting a personal experience is a great idea come to fruition. From what I have read you just have to "pick your timing" and be prepared to make adjustments to your time table or walking. Cheers.

These days I always walk my Caminos in winter. And usually on the less travelled routes. A very different experience from the Camino Frances in summer. Like stepping back thirty years but with better accommodation!

Here at Peaceable Kingdom in Moratinos we see most of our pilgrim traffic in winter, when the rest of the local hostels are closed for the season. Winter pilgrims are the cream of the crop, IMHO, the real McCoy.

Yes! It will tax your people skills. But it's a pilgrimage, right? Not a beach vacation

Walk the Sanabres and you can bathe in the hot springs in Ourense even in the middle of winter. For free. Luxury!

Thank you for the links @nilesite I like the idea of a winter Camino - may lure us back to the Frances which I'd love to walk again.

nilesite,

Good luck with your book. I look forward to reading your recollections.
In the happy, easier past years, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010, winter was the best time to walk the CF for me. Little was hectic; without the hordes of summer all had time to share.

....In retrospect it was close to perfect. If I could I would do it again, but now at 83 I hike only in my memory.

If you weren't wrinkly going in, you'll be wrinkly when you get out!
