Camino Frances (2020)
Hello fellow pilgrims, I'm working to book my first Camino in May 2025. One of the things I love about walking is seeing all of the flora and fauna along the way. I'll be starting SJPP in early May and walking for 2 weeks. I'm wondering what might be in bloom at that time?

Thanks and Happy Holidays to all!

I have walked several Caminos in April and May. Here is just a sampling of what you can expect to see in bloom ...

A plethora of poppies


A bounty of buttercups


Billions of bluets


Dozens of daisies


Heavenly hibiscus


Glorious glads


An orchestration of orchid


Magnificent morning glories


Mounds of mint


Wonderful wisteria


Take your time ... stop and smell the flowers ... and maybe snap a photo or two ...

This tree I think is a horse chestnut ( castaño de Indias in Spanish). There are no chestnuts in Logroño.

Yes, sorry I meant horse chestnut. Typing too quickly! The horse chestnut blossoms are so spectacular, and I love them because they remind me of where I grew up in England. There were some gorgeous ones in Burgos too, as I recall.

I consider myself a botany expert. What is in bloom during this period is Camino souls? Their flowering is something to behold. Chuck
