About weather on the Camino de Invierno

The Camino de Invierno from Ponferrada to Santiago crosses two distinct climates, shifting from drier mornings in Bierzo and Valdeorras to wetter Atlantic air in Galicia. April and May align with longer days, fresh greens, and mostly mild temperatures, while changeable showers remain part of the spring pattern. Weather varies between sunny breaks and rain; vineyard or canyon paths can be slick after wet periods; service availability increases after Easter.

• Spring: Changeable conditions with frequent showers and sunny spells; temperatures swing from chilly starts to mild afternoons; trails lush, descents slick after rain.
• Summer: Long daylight and generally drier spells; heat builds in valleys and exposed vineyard lanes; sporadic showers persist, especially crossing into Galicia.
• Autumn: Atlantic fronts return more often; mix of sunny breaks and soaking rain; cooler evenings, muddier paths, and livelier weekends during grape harvest.
• Winter: Frequent rain and cold mornings dominate; occasional frost or snow on higher bits; some rural services reduce hours; daylight is short.
