The Caminho da Geira e dos Arrieiros primarily traverses through the northern regions of Portugal and into Galicia in Spain. During the early days in northern Portugal, you experience a Mediterranean climate with generally warm temperatures. Highs often range from 25°C to 28°C, and lows hover around 14°C to 15°C. The weather tends to be sunny to partly cloudy, although there are occasional periods of rain, mostly in the form of patchy showers. Precipitation is relatively low but can slightly increase depending on the specific area.
As the route progresses into Galicia, the weather conditions remain fairly consistent with Northern Portugal but show some slight variations. The temperatures stay in a similar range, with highs around 26°C to 27°C and lows around 15°C. The weather continues to predominantly feature sunny and partly cloudy days. However, precipitation might see a minor uptick, with some areas experiencing moderate rain showers at times. Overcast conditions become somewhat more common, especially as you approach regions like Santiago de Compostela.
Overall, the pilgrimage route is characterized by generally favorable warm and sunny weather with modest precipitation, making it quite suitable for a summer trek.
