Time of past OR future Camino

Hello,
I will start my Camino from Porto on 26 December, considering doing the spiritual variant route. Is it possible to determine if the route is open during this time of the year? Are there any better routes available? I prefer walking in woods, forests, mountains, and hills, not a big fan of beaches or coastal walks.

I was thinking of Porto to Vila do Conde then follow the Central route .. is there a better route considering the time of the year for accommodation?
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
The route itself doesn't close, but albergues and other accommodation might, as might some cafes, etc. Especially around Xmas and New Year. I would check Gronze or Wise Pilgrim, and sketch out an outline plan, and see if the places that will be open can be linked up into manageable walking days.
