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 ...
