Camino from Alicante Nov/Dec - Lana or another option?

[Sara_Dhooma]

Hello friends!

The Camino has called me back, and I will be arriving in Alicante the evening of Wed Nov 7th.
I have a flight booked back home from Madrid the morning of Tues Dec 18th.

This gives me over a month, and I prefer longish daily distances of 35-40 km, although I can bust out an occasional 50km if I need to.
It might be a lonely walk - but I'll keep myself amused by daily video-blogging on my Youtube Channel.

I am undecided with the options:
a) Walk the Lana to Burgos, and continue on the Frances to finish in Santiago
b) Walk the Lana to Burgos, and bus to walk a different Camino (eg. Mozarbe from Granada to Merida)
c) Walk the Sureste to Astorga, continue on the Frances to finish in Santiago
d) Walk the Levante to Astorga, continue on the Frances to finish in Santiago

I will probably eventually end up walking all routes in Spain, so it doesn't matter if I tackle the Lana, Sureste, or Levante in this trip. Which route is best for the late fall, with the lowest risk of heavy snowfall in the higher elevations?

Also, I do have a smallish budget, so I would prefer selecting a route with lower budget lodging options like albergues. Staying in hotels cuts deeply into my coffee, chocolate, and wine funds.

I appreciate any guidance and/or suggestions.
Thanks in advance Team Camino!!!

Hi Sara, lovely prospects!

Please do a search for @alansykes or @peregrina2000 or now recently @BeatriceKarjalainen.They have a wealth of information on these Caminos.

Happy preparations.

Hey Sara,

I wondered when you would re-appear
Really enjoyed your YouTube channel as you completed the Pacific Crest Trail this summer
(you are one awesome hiker).

I have pencilled-in the Lana for March 2020 and will be hopefully going Alicante > Burgos (Lana) > Leon (Frances) > Oveido (Salvador) > Santiago (Primitivo).

Obviously the weather will be a consideration - but then, when isn't it!

Keep posting the videos - repost your Channel address on here so that other can take a look!

Can't wait to see the next 'Bridge Video'

Thanks for your replies Sabine and Davie!

I'm hoping there will be some lovely bridges to dance across along the way.
