    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. If anyone is thinking to hike during that time frame and looking for someone to walk with… let me know. My wife and I live in Portugal so the start point would be flexible. Clark Shaffer
