Is the Camino de Santiago suitable for beginners in November?

Camino Frances
The classic route is even more charming in November. Walk through rolling countryside, savor seasonal dishes in small villages, and revel in the tranquility of the fall surroundings.

Camino Finisterre
Starting from the magnificent cathedral in Santiago, walk through the Galician countryside and medieval villages to finish up at the ocean.

November is perfect for quiet reflection and spectacular landscapes, but a little preparation will ensure a seamless experience:

Pack Layers
November weather can be crisp, especially in the evenings. Opt for layers you can add or remove as needed - think breathable base layers, a cozy fleece, and a waterproof jacket.

Protect Against Drizzle
Though November isn’t rainy all the time, light showers aren’t uncommon. A light rain poncho or jacket will keep you dry without weighing you down.

Comfortable Footwear
Trails can sometimes be damp or muddy with fall leaves underfoot. Waterproof walking shoes with good grip will keep you comfortable all day.

Enjoy the Season’s Food
Warm up after your walk with hearty Spanish dishes like Caldo Gallego or roasted chestnuts from local markets. And don’t miss out on a glass of freshly harvested wine!
