The Camino de Levante runs from Mediterranean Valencia across La Mancha’s exposed plains to the higher interior around Ávila, finishing in Zamora. April and September typically offer balanced daylight, moderate temperatures, and lower heat stress on long, shadeless stretches. Conditions outside these windows vary by region: early spring can be changeable, late spring and early summer trend hotter, peak summer is very hot, and late autumn into winter turns cooler, wetter, and darker.
