Invierno in the summer

[MJH111]

Has anyone walked this in the summer as an alternative to the crowded run in from Sarria to Santiago? Is it well supported with sufficient accomodation options?

Hi,

I always walk the Invierno in summer (July) and I intend to do so this summer as well! Check out the other threads in this section; a lot of us have written about it (any season of the year). You will meet a handful of pilgrims at most! And quite a few piles of luggage that mysteriosly travel from one door to another...

"Well supported" and "sufficient accomodation" are highly subjective terms.... To me, it means a plethora of lovely private accomodations, luxurious hostels, nom nom nom. If you are into the municipal albergue thing... you may be disappointed. But yes there are a few of them.

Yes. No.
@MJH111 welcome to the forum.
There is loads of information and accounts of this Camino in these pages. Have a read through and then try asking specific questions.
Happy planning

New member @MJH111, at the top of the page there is
< Camino de Invierno
where the text is linked to
https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/forums/camino-de-invierno.79/

That page lists threads on the Camino de Invierno sub-forum. You will find plenty of information there in case you don't get the information you want on this thread.

Sufficient accomodation options, yes... but much less then the Camino Frances.
Look at the mentioned tips and

Look at the forum guide. https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/resources/invierno-forum-guide.535/ It will give you a very good idea of possible stages, elevation, places to see, lodging, etc. But come back with specific questions, because there is a group of forum members who have walked the Invierno and love to talk about it.
