Fires in Spain

Camino Way markers in Bronze
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
Looks like it’s well north of the CF.

Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Open Google Maps (the App) and select the option WILDFIRES. then you will see it.

(Don’t scroll down to Bra.z.i.l, you’ll be shocked). It’s everywhere.

There’s also some infos at the Guardia Civil at Instagram.

Perfect memento/gift in a presentation box. Engraving available, 25 character max.
Most of the fires this year seem to have been either nowhere near any Camino route or near some very tertiary routes trod by a dozen or fewer pilgrims in any given year.
 
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
We are in Quintanilla del Valle and working our way to Porqueros and then Branuelas so watching the situation. Maria here is also checking with forest management contacts she has. We have read that the perimeter of the 17 acres fire is now under control.
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

What an excellent resource from Copernicus--thank you!

This brings up a question I have meant to ask, as I approach my departure date of October 28th 2024 from O Cebreiro: What have the precipitation and temperature trends been like this late summer and fall for the final 150 km? For example, has it been cooler and wetter than usual, or unusually dry? The Fire Danger Forecast for several of the factors on this Copernicus map implies areas of dryness, especially approaching Santiago itself.

But what have people found in reality this year?

Thanks, Benoit
