After sadly having to end the VdlP from Seville in Zamora with a knee fracture in May 2023 I am hoping that I will be able to continue the camino from Zamora in March/ April 2025.
Planning to start mid March and finish before the Semana Santa week.
Any thoughts from those who have walked at this time about weather and accommodation availability ( private preferred ) or if starting in Zamora at the end of April would be preferable.

No guarantees with the weather, of course, but I think starting at the end of April would give you a better chance for drier weather, and warmer. Even better would be starting later, IMHO, but you may have constraints.

Zamora is about three weeks from Sevilla, and I’ve started from Sevilla once in mid-April and once in early May and had great spring weather all the way to Santiago.

Yes I’m starting to think that March might be too cold and wet, especially after a hot Australian summer.
When I walked from Seville in April 2023 it was unusually hot and I would prefer walking in cooler temperatures so it’s a bit of a guessing game.

I agree with Peregrina 2000. When I have walked it has been middle of May before I got to the Sanabrese.
Had good weather and a great Camino.
