The weather on our two-week itinerary can best be broken up into the two regions it runs through: Castilla y León and Galicia. The summer months are a great time to meet and make friends with people from all over the world, but for those who prefer quiet hiking, we recommend skipping the summer.
In comparison, only 1,600 made the pilgrimage in January. This past August, the Pilgrim’s Office in Santiago received a shocking 60,000 pilgrims. July and August are the hottest and driest months, but that also means they’re the most popular. Our favorite months are April and September, because they provide a nice balance of mild temperatures and relatively low precipitation. In the winter months, the trail can be cold and wet, which makes for an unpleasant pilgrimage. We recommend somewhere between March and October, when weather is at its friendliest.
Unlike Mont Blanc, it can be hiked at almost any time of the year. To be fair, the weather on the Camino is pretty forgiving. Generally, people don’t consider trudging through sticky mud and snow, dodging rain, navigating through fog, or trying to escape a heat wave, but on the Camino Francés all of these things are possible. The Spanish countryside evokes images of rippling hillsides of grape vines bathed in warm sunlight and mild, clear nights where one can enjoy a glass of wine while watching the stars.
