The Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieiros crosses inland northern Portugal and Galicia, combining Atlantic variability with stretches of higher, more exposed ground and shaded woodland valleys. May and September frequently align with longer daylight, moderate warmth, and generally steadier patterns across Roman road sections and upland corridors. Elsewhere, conditions range from passing showers and quick-clearing sunshine to hot afternoons in valleys and winter fronts delivering persistent rain and occasional frost.
