Weather forecast for the Camino Torres in December

The Camino Torres largely traverses the regions of Castilla y León in Spain and northern Portugal, culminating in Galicia, Spain.

In Castilla y León, specifically starting in Salamanca, you will encounter cold weather with average high temperatures around 9°C and lows around 2°C. Precipitation levels are generally modest but present, with a mix of partly cloudy skies, occasional rain, and even some overcast and foggy days. The area around Salamanca can also experience light freezing rain.

As you cross into northern Portugal, temperatures slightly rise, particularly in the regions bordering Galicia, like in cities such as Guimarães and Braga, where highs reach around 13°C and lows around 6-7°C. Here, moderate to heavy rain showers are more common, interspersed with sunny days and occasional heavy rain at times. These regions are prone to higher precipitation compared to Castilla y León, so more frequent and intense rain can be expected.

Finally, upon arriving in Galicia, the climate remains relatively mild but wet. In cities like Santiago de Compostela, temperatures hover around 12°C during the day and fall to 6°C at night. This region is characterized by consistent rainfall, often substantial, including moderate to heavy rain showers and overcast skies, with fewer sunny intervals compared to earlier segments of your journey.

Overall, the route in December offers chilly and wet conditions, with varying degrees of rainfall and cloud cover, becoming wetter and slightly warmer as you progress through Portugal and into Galicia.
