question

[Watson, John]

April is likely to be wetter, colder, etc than later. However it may not be!
And you are (almost) guaranteed of a bed at a refugio. The Pyrenees WILL be
snowy and POSSIBLY blizzardlike but you could start from a later point.
If you're like me and overheat easily, April is the time to go!
Have a great time
John

Hi all-
A quick question....I was planning my trip this Oct. and things are not
working out.  SO, my alternatives are to wait until next Oct. (2002) or walk
this next spring in April.  I've done research on weather and refugios
during Oct. but have nothing for April.  Suggestions would be great...pros
and cons?!?!?!?!
Thanks....Kyle

Not counting air fare and gifts, you can easily do it for $500 - $600 for
four weeks on the Camino; $400 if you do a lot of cooking and you are
willing
to eat sandwiches, yoghurt, fruit and snacks for lunch.  There are
supermercados in most places along the way and you can plan around those
towns that don't have them or refugios not equiped with kitchens.
I am assuming that you will not need extraordinary trips to pharmacies,
clinics, etc., just normal wear and tear pharmacy products like bandaids,
anti-inflammatory creams, knee supports, etc.like most pilgrims. This is
what
I spent in four weeks May-June including a hotel in Santiago for three
nights
at the end of the Camino because Monte de Gozo refugio only allows you to
stay one night.   Howard
