If you're looking for the best weather to walk the Camino de la Ría de Muros — also known as the Camino de Muros e Noia — the ideal time to begin your journey is in mid May to early September.
These months offer the most reliable stretch of comfortable walking weather. This period consistently sees pleasant daytime temperatures, fewer rainy days, and a lower chance of extreme conditions like heat waves or storms. It’s a window where the Camino is neither too hot nor too cold, and you’re less likely to encounter disruptive weather.
