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

    Hi again, @JonnyRosa ☺️. Are we still on for the 2nd and a start from SJPP? The weather on Meteoblue has still only medium predictability but it does not look too brilliant for the 2nd. Rain and low hanging clouds on the way to and from the Collado de Bentarte are a strong possibility. Please...

    Amount of people on late October + November?

    I second all the comments. Just to add, we were on the Camino Oct-Nov last year, and we saw many places (and bag delivery service) close for the season at the end of October. There will be fewer places to stop and snack. Also, when in Galicia, you're likely to experience all types of weather on...

    Bike shipped to USA via MBE lost, 6 weeks ago.

    6 weeks ago I shipped my bike home on September 18th from Santiago to USA thru Mail Boxes Etc, whereas I saw this recommended on other threads. It is now October 31st. My apple tracker & the MBE FedEx track shows it in Madrid, as it has been for many weeks. The first excuse was they were very...

    Health & Safety Conditions on Portuguese Camino

    Hi Renee. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest you should have no problems beginning of October. First, look at this website: https://fogos.pt/. This tracks fires in Portugal on a day to day basis. As you can see, right now the ones they've been having in the north, around Viseu, are...

    Albergues & Bars closing in October.

    You should have no problem finding accommodation and food along the Camino Frances throughout October. I have walked 3 times in October-November, and used all of my different clothing combinations for weather ranging from cold and windy, to hot and dry, to wet and grey.

    Middle or end Sept?

    Prepare for rain just in case. I walked the last week in September and the first week in October last year and it was perfect weather. A week after I finished there were torrential rains and flooding for over weeks straight. So you never know. From a historian point septis always safer than...

    CF in November /December

    I start the Plata October 2nd aiming to finish in and around the 7th of November. From there my plan is to take a few days off in Santiago then travel to St Jean Pied de Port to begin the CF. Looking to send some weather appropriate gear ahead to swap out from the Plata. It would be coming from...

    The best time to walk the Camino Frances May or September?

    I have done the Camino Frances May 15 - June 26 2024, and September 10 - October 15 2017. Both were wonderful. Weather can change at any time, so all you can do is look at past history for those times. We had great weather both times. Only a couple days of rain each time. The big difference...

    Weather in November on the Frances and the Portugues

    Walked the Portugese Camino from Porto to SDC in late October- November 2022. Heavy rain all except 2 days. Weather is different every year. YMMV. Washing clothes and getting them dry by the next day was a challenge.

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

    Hi Kathar1na, I'm from Brazil, in the São Paulo region. Today is winter here, and yesterday it was 33 degrees C. The weather is very unpredictable, even with so much technology and huge databases, it is still more prudent and accurate to check the information as close to the event as possible...

    VDLP - Too late in the year ?

    My own Camino will have me arrive in SDC later than that, so I am counting on it not being too late.

    Walking from Lisbon - 16 Oct to 14 Nov 2024. Options?

    There are lots of websites that will give you comparative average rainfall charts. This website suggests that Navarra (at the beginning of the Francés) is a little wetter in October than the Lisbon area, but weather patterns are anything but reliable and “normal” these days. There will be...

    Walking from Oviedo to Lugo in mid- October

    I have walked the CF many times and am on on the Primitivo. I find this trail muddy and difficult. Needs better markers too. If wet weather be careful

    6-7 days on via Francigena late November - Which sections to choose?

    I would never disagree with @jungleboy on his recommendations, but you might be pushing it weather-wise in the mountainous parts of the Via San Francesco in later November. While I haven't walked the VSF, I've done a fair amount of hiking in the mountains of central Italy (the Apennines) and...

    Via Francigena vs Via Francesco

    Hi, we just did the Via Francigena (Milan to Rome) and the St. Francis way (Rome to Assisi) last year. The St. Francis we did in late October to early November and were blessed with good weather, but I could see how that route in November might have some challenges :) I think you would have a...

    Hey! Me and my friend are walking the deck norte from irun to Bilbao the Starting the primitivo on the 24th of October! Also been doing some research on this, as far as I’m aware it’s gonna be wet haha but sure! We’re not made out of sugar! we walked across England last September and it...

    Late august 2024, route choices

    In August the Primitivo may be hot but would not have the tourist crowds of the coast. In September the coastal weather will likely be ideal. But there could be rain. In October there will be rain. Buen Camino

    Weather in October

    I haven't done the Ingles in October, but when I did the Portugues out of Porto in the first half of October 2018, the weather was fine.

    Puffy or Down Jacket

    For September and the first half of October, I think you’ll just be carrying around your puffy coat most of the time. I’d suggest planning a kit based upon layering. My preference is a long sleeved under layer, a light jacket (waterproof), and a vest. That way, I can wear some combination of...
