I have 16 days later this month to walk the camino. I've done this before so am not focused on reaching Santiago. I really love the quieter routes. My biggest concern is I don't want to be cold or wet. Suggestions?

Camino Mozarabe? Choice of starting points way down south in Andalusia - Granada, Almeria or Malaga. Definitely routes less travelled but with plenty of interest along the way.

Weather in the south is more likely to cooperate with your objective than starting in the north. Starting the Ebro in Deltebre, the Levante in Valencia, the Mozárabe in Almería or Málaga, or the Vdlp in Sevilla, would all be good choices. All but the Vdlp are likely to be very solitary. I have started these routes in late April/early May, and the flowers and green crops were gorgeous, but you may be a bit early for that.

My wife, son in law and I left Almería on the Camino Mozárabe yesterday morning. We have met two other pilgrims. 45F this morning. Forecast to 70s later today. DRY. Buen Camino
