    Camino at some point starting in November through January 2022

    I’m thinking to hike the Camino from SJPdP however I know the weather conditions are not “the most” favorable.

    Weather, Winter Camino de Madrid

    So…. If the world cooperates, I will land on NY Day in Madrid…. And I was thinking to myself: Self? Why don’t you just walk up to Sahagún and then take your apartment whereever it shall be? I’d need to ship some things from home to whichever town ends up being where I want to rent for...
