    Three extra days in Spain - Recommendations?

    I keep hearing how nice Valencia is, not just from here, but other places and people. Surely I can't be the only one around here whose brain works like this: When I keep hearing about how great Valencia is, I don't think "I should visit Valencia". I think "I should do the Lana and start in...

    Lucca to Rome on Via Francigina

    I walked Lucca to Rome mid October to November last year. I encountered 5 on the trail in total. I did see an American group of 4 at one of my stays but never saw them on the trail. It’s a very quiet trail at this time of the year. The weather was rainy cool and foggy in the north particularly...

    Camino Frances in September - experiences

    I’ve walked the Frances three times in September/October and enjoyed it each time. Early in September the path can still be crowded but lightens up a bit later in the month. The weather tends to be cool mornings followed by warm days perfect for walking. Last year however was the wettest one...

    Camino Portuguese Coastal Route - Walking alone at 66

    Lindyloo, I hiked Camino Portuguese last fall (late Sept to mid-October) from Porto to Viana do Castelo, then crossed inland to Ponte de Lima then hiked the central route to Santiago. I was age 66, and booked private rooms in advance for every night. I used Jakotrans for backpack transport and...

    Backpack size

    Personally mine is only 32 liters however I predominantly walk a little earlier than you. Walking in October to November I would probably need a 40 litre to allow for extra warm weather Gear. At the end of the day it's far more important that it's comfortable. So if it's comfortable - then...

    Starting our Camino Frances 29 September 2024

    I walked Camino Francis starting September 26th in 2012 from SJPP, and it worked out beautifully. I did notice a few albergues were closed in the second half of October, but there were still plenty open and lots of people walking. Some rain in Galicia, but otherwise weather was lovely. I...

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

    Thanks so much! Weather is definitely a big concern, glad to hear you found it okay during this time of year. I thought about just starting from Lucca ir perhaps Sienna, but thought maybe it would be a pity not to get to "the finish line" aka Rome walking? Alternatively, if there are stretches...

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

    My breath is bated :cool:. And we can already say that of all the predictions in the thread, whether dire or optimistic, this one prediction from a month ago has not come to fruition: The poster is a former poster so no loss of face there. I knew already then that the prediction was unfounded...

    Packing list and shoes for October/November Camino Frances

    For weather you can expect anything between 8 degrees in the morning to as high as low 30´s... definitely not sandals at this time though.

    Not Too Hot with Little Rain

    We have walked many times in April/early May and weather has mostly been great. Pleasantly cool and not a terrible amount of rain. We also walked late September and October and weather was great then as well. But ... weather can be so unpredictable.

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

    Hi JabbaPapa, Thank you very much for your words, your experience is very important to me and will certainly help me. I have no experience in mountain/hiking and I am not familiar with the term "speed on the flat". Do you remember the speed you were going on the trail when you refer to "6 km/h...

    SJPP in November

    Weather in April

    I'm starting on March 4th next year and I'll be returning home on April 15th. I am preparing, and expecting, for ever type of weather to be thrown at me from start to finish. Don't get overly concerned with weight. Carrying an extra kg of clothing can make a big difference to your comfort...

    Secure parking Pamplona area?

    We are taking our Campervan through France to Spain for winter, heading back to the uk in March. Every one of our 2.5 Caminos have been in scorching hot weather - including October 2023. We are pondering on leaving our van securely parked in, say, Pamplona, get transport to StJP, then walk to...
