<DIV>I have not been at O Cebreiro in November. I hear that there is a very real possibility of snow, freezing, even life-threatening weather if you are not well equipped. Maybe someone else can speak to this. I was there in May and hit a cloudy, wet day which was genuinely cold to me. I write in my ignorance only because I am a fellow Texan, from San Antonio now living in Big Bend, so perhaps we share similar climates. </DIV>
