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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?!?!?!?!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks....Kyle</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2>Not counting air fare
and gifts, you can easily do it for $500 - $600 for <BR>four weeks on the
Camino; $400 if you do a lot of cooking and you are willing <BR>to eat
sandwiches, yoghurt, fruit and snacks for lunch. There are
<BR>supermercados in most places along the way and you can plan around those
<BR>towns that don't have them or refugios not equiped with kitchens. <BR>I
am assuming that you will not need extraordinary trips to pharmacies,
<BR>clinics, etc., just normal wear and tear pharmacy products like
bandaids, <BR>anti-inflammatory creams, knee supports, etc.like most
pilgrims. This is what <BR>I spent in four weeks May-June including a hotel
in Santiago for three nights <BR>at the end of the Camino because Monte de
Gozo refugio only allows you to <BR>stay one night.
