January - March

[barryg]

My wife and I are planning to walk the Camino from Lisbon to SDC in the winter. Can pilgrims who have walked the Camino in these months tell me about three things:

The availability of municipal or parish albergues

The availability of slightly upper scale (non bunk bed albergues)

The availability of low cost hotels

And finally the temperatures encountered in January, February and March.

Thank you for any info.

Warmly,


Barr

I walked the Lisbon section in early autumn but came back to finish Porto to SdeC in January. From Porto on I has no real issues with accomodation (I think its a great winter camino) even in winter with plenty of albergues open. However Lisbon to Porto is less travelled and will have far fewer pilgrims in winter. Many albergues are private on this route until crossing into Spain. A good place to start for accomodation availability is

Weather can vary - from below freezing at night and maybe on a very good day up to 17° - this might give you some ideas which is January 2023 overview
