    Weather in October

    Hi all. We are planning to walk the Camino Porto in October 2024. I did the Ingles in October 2023, but I am wondering if the proximity to the coast would make the weather significantly different.

    Walking in October - does it differ much from May / June?

    Hi, We walked the Camino de Santiago for the first time in May & June this year, and absolutely loved it. We plan on walking the first week again in October (with a view to going back later next year to continue from wherever we stop), but obviously the weather in October in unlikely to be as...

    Weather in April

    I am thinking about doing the Camino Francais from Leon to Santiago, April 2025 and I’m wondering what type of weather to expect during that month in that part of Spain. I have walked parts of three Caminos in the past but not during that timeframe and I pretty much knew what to expect in...

    Which month is best to go - May or Oct?

    I don't know about May, but I finished the Francés in the first week of October last year, and the weather was quite nice compared to the first half of September, which was unbearably hot and dry (and I very much prefer walking in colder weather than desert weather. That's why this year I...

    Weather and gortex shoes

    My BLESSING(wife) and I are starting our Camino Frances on 8/20/24. We are finalizing packing. We did Sarria to Santiago last October. We wore gortex Salomons. Didn’t need them for the weather. Wet feet are wet feet regardless what causes it. However since we are starting earlier and from SJPDP...

    Mid-Oct 2025 Primitivo - grateful for any planning thoughts.

    I’m in grado now- some are closed (bodenayo - October 18); our last night is the 31st here. A beautiful Camino with unpredictable weather- walked beginning of October through the 14th and got hail, wind, rain, mist, and a little sun, so be prepared. Since the 14th we’ve had 4 beautiful sunny...

    Camino from Le Puy en Velay to Saint Jean Pied de Port in November

    I have walked in mid-October. Seasonal gites and restaurants may be closed and there will normally be no backpack transport after the second week of October as you are moving into off-season, but the weather will be fine. Expect some rain and mud. After the first week of October, or so, I advise...

    Walking in October - does it differ much from May / June?

    I have done both seasons several times. Weather risk is equal. Only difference is daylight is much shorter in October

    October Camino - shorts?

    I'm currently refining my packing list for the Camino Frances, starting in SJPDP on September 24, and walking through to the end of October/beginning of November. While I understand that the weather is varied and unpredictable, in your experience(s), is it worth bringing a pair of shorts for...

    Walking from Oviedo to Lugo in mid- October

    Hi, has anyone walked the Primitivo in mid-October? What was it like? Weather, tracks and accommodation? I plan to walk from Oviedo to Lugo only, then bus to Santiago after. Thanks for your input.

    Saint Jean Pied de Port to Roncesvalles, leaving in the afternoon

    The Napoleon Route will be closed on October 31 until April 1. Any earlier closure would be because of the specific weather conditions.

    Have to rebook October camino. How would mid April be different?

    I walked in terrible weather last October on the Frances and still had the best time of my life. I'm trying to keep still and hopefully heal quickly. Thanks to everyone for your advice

    Camino del norte october 2024

    I've done a section in October and had better weather than in the month of June. It wasn't busy but we (2 Camino friends and I) were far from alone. As mentioned above, some albergues close mid October but we were lucky since some decided to stay open until the end of October, maybe because...

    October camino suggestions

    We walked the Baztan at the start of our April/May Caminos. It really is a lovely walk. Very few pilgrims walking in April, and I expect few in October. We are going to walk the Lebigneigo and Vadiniense in October and then on to the San Salvador and Primitivo to SdC. Hopefully the weather in...

    Best Time of Year to Walk Madrid Camino

    I walked the Madrid last fall (from Segovia) starting on October 7th. Weather was mostly ideal, usually cool for walking with some warm days, but neither hot, nor cold and a lot of sunshine. I only recall one day of rain. Overall I felt ithe weather was perfect.
