We recommend starting the Camino de Santiago Francés either between late March and mid May, or in September. Other months may work for you as well, but we think that this range is, at the very least, a good starting point in your search for the perfect weather on the Camino.
This recommendation takes into account historical weather data, focusing on key factors such as average daily highs, record temperatures, and precipitation levels. By starting your Camino during these months, you can expect moderate temperatures and minimal rainfall, ideal for a long-distance hike.
Of course, while these recommendations provide a solid starting point, everyone's preferences and circumstances are unique. For example, if you prefer walking in the cooler morning hours to avoid midday heat, you might prioritize dates with drier conditions. On the other hand, if you are more accustomed to colder climates, you may choose to avoid hotter periods - even if it means encountering more rain. Our search tool allows you to customize your journey to align with your specific needs and preferences, ensuring the best possible experience on the Camino.
Furthermore, if your plan differs from walking the standard stages from Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Santiago de Compostela, then you can edit the Search Settings below accordingly.
