Camino de Santiago in November | Climate and Agenda

The Camino de Santiago routes in November

Do you want to do the Camino de Santiago in November? If you are looking to enjoy the tranquillity of the low season along the Camino de Santiago, but do not want to face the challenges posed by pilgrim routes during the winter, November is the ideal month.

If you are looking to enjoy the tranquillity of the low season along the Camino de Santiago, but do not want to face the challenges posed by pilgrim routes during the winter, November is the ideal month.

In addition, since all the routes move onto their final stages in Galicia, if you organize your trip during the first weeks of November you can enjoy the Magosto Festival in Galicia. The quintessential November party.

In this article, we will tell you about the climate and temperatures that you will find on the main routes along the Camino de Santiago in November. We will also take the opportunity to comment on the different festivals that you can enjoy on the Camino de Santiago during the month of November.

Doing the Camino de Santiago Frances in November

The Camino Frances to Santiago in November has been almost completely drained of pilgrims. At that time of year you will not find on the Camino Frances even half as many pilgrims as you would during previous months.

If you would like to do this route of the Camino de Santiago you can read more about the stages on the Camino Frances here. Remember that if you do not have many free days, an excellent option is the stretch that goes from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. These kilometres are the most popular, but in November you won’t find an excessive number of pilgrims on those stages.

As we told you, on the Camino de Santiago from Sarria you have the option to make the route in 7, 8 or up to 11 days respectively, so there is flexibility. If you’ve already decided to take this route in the autumn, tell us about the trip details and leave the rest in our hands.

The climate on the Camino Frances in the month of November

In November you will find temperatures typical during late autumn. At this time of year, the thermometer usually ranges between 5 and 15 degrees. Of course, on mountain stages, such as the ascent to Foncebadón or O Cebreiro, lower temperatures may be recorded.

November festivals on the Camino Frances to Santiago

In the month of November, festivities are not so common on the Camino Frances to Santiago. However, if you pass through Estela (stage 5) between November 28^th and 30^th, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the Feast of San Andrés.

Hornillos del Camino is located on stage 13 of the route, just after Burgos. This pilgrim town, famous for its hospitality, celebrates the Feast of San Román on November 18^th.

Mansilla de Mulas (stage 19) is another of the towns of the Camino Francés that hosts festivals in November. Specifically, in this town on November 11^th the Fair of San Martín is held.

If you do the last stages of the Camino Francés and enter Galicia during the first weeks of November, you can enjoy the celebrations of the Magosto Festival. In this article, we tell you how this traditional Chestnut Fair in Santiago de Compostela is celebrated.

Doing the Camino Portugues in November

The Camino Portugues has two routes. One of them is the Camino Central Portugues, and in November, it gives way to beautiful autumn landscapes. The other is the route known as the Camino Portugues Coastal route, which starts in Porto and borders the Atlantic slopes.

If you want to know more details about both paths, you can consult the article in our blog that we dedicate to the Camino Portugues. Both routes are fantastic in November!

The Portuguese climate in October

The climate in Portugal, during the month of November, is warmer than in northern Spain. In November the average temperature of this route ranges between 12 and 18 degrees centigrade.

If you plan to do the Camino Portugues Coastal Route in November, the sensation of cold will be greater, because of the wind and proximity to the sea. Make sure you bring a windcheater with you.

November on the Camino Portugues to Santiago

If you choose to do the Camino de Santiago Portugues, from Lisbon, on the tour you can enjoy several events in the month of November. In Golega, a town located at the end of the fifth stage, you will find the National Horse Fair.

On November 1^st, the Marzugueira Festival is held in Alvaiázere (stage 7). Arriving at the end of the tour, in Rubianes (stage 21) you will find the Corn Festival on November 22^nd.

The Camino del Norte to Santiago in November

The Camino de Santiago del Norte borders the Cantabrian coast. In November you will find too cold in this region of Spain to bathe in the sea, but you can enjoy its beautiful landscapes.

If you want to know more about this itinerary, you can read the article about the Camino del Norte. In it you will find other related articles in which we tell you what to see and do on this beautiful route.

The temperature on the Camino del Norte in November

The Camino del Norte to Santiago is one of the rainiest pilgrim routes. In November, the chances of rain are quite high. The average temperature at this time of year is 10 to 15 degrees centigrade.

Festivals on the Camino del Norte in November

Although November is not a lively month in the pilgrim villages, if you decide to complete this route in November you can enjoy various popular events. In Gernika, a town at the end of stage 5 of the tour, you will find the Gernika Bean Festival. An excellent opportunity to taste the regional gastronomy.

In stage 9, in Castro Urdiales, and on number 14 (Comillas), on November 30^th you will find the Feast of San Andrés. In Laredo (stage 10), on November 11^th they celebrate the Feast of St. Martin and in Abadin (stage 28), on the first Saturday of the month, they hold the Fair of the Saints of Gontán.

La Via de la Plata in November

As we tell you in our article about La Via de la Plata, this huge route has several sections. The southern paths, both the Camino Mozarabe and the southwest section that joins Seville and Merida, are ideal to do in November.

The climate on the La Via de la Plata in November

One of the best times of the year to complete this very long route is November. Temperatures in southern Spain are warmer than in the north. In November the temperature in the southern sections usually ranges between 12 and 20 degrees.

However, in November, any stretch of the Via de la Plata is recommended. In none of the sections of this tour will you encounter any great problems. If you only have a little time and want to end in Santiago de Compostela, we recommend the Camino Sanabres, which is the final section of La Via de la Plata.

November on La Vía de la Plata

November is a quiet month even for the villages of southern Spain. If you decide to do the Via de la Plata and arrive in Merida at the end of the month, you will have the opportunity to attend the “Unreleased Film” Festival that takes place in the city.

On the contrary, if you start the route from Merida, at the beginning of the month, in the next stage, in Alcuéscar, La Chaquetía is celebrated on November 1^st. In this celebration the locals take advantage of the typical autumn fruits, to create a popular get-together in the countryside in which they share stews and dishes typical of the region.

Doing the Camino Primitivo in November

Although in November it is not as yet discouraged to do the Pri, it is likely that on this route you already find typical winter temperatures, due to its frequent mountain passes.

The Camino Primitivo in November

In the month of November on the Camino Primitivo you will find an average temperature of 5 to 13 degrees. The chances of rain in November are quite high, do not forget that this is one of the routes with the highest volume of precipitation.

If the year is very cold, you may experience frost on the mountain passes in November or you may even find snow. Make sure you have enough warm clothing.

Festivals on the Camino Primitivo in November

In the month of November, you will not find many popular events on the Camino Primitivo. If you pass through Tineo (stage 3) you can go to the Santa Cecilia concert, which takes place on November 18^th. In Allende (stage 4) on November 11^th you will find the Feast of San Martín.

Doing the Camino Ingles in November

The Camino de Santiago Ingles is a suitable route to take throughout the year. Depending on the month you choose, you’re more or less likely to find rain on the route. In November the rainfall volume is quite high, so make sure you have waterproof clothing.

The Camino Ingles is an ideal route if you only have a few days to make a pilgrimage. From Oviedo to Santiago de Compostela you can take 5 days, if you walk. If you want to find out more about the Camino Ingles, you can check the piece we dedicate to this route.

On this route you will not find popular festivals during the month of November. However, this route will allow you to enjoy to the fullest of one of the most famous autumn festivals, the Magosto. A celebration that revolves around fire, chestnuts, wine and the famous Galician queimada.

The Route to the End of the World

Like the other pilgrim routes, the Camino de Finisterre is little-travelled in November. This route is especially magical during the month of November, since the celebrations of the Magosto Festival, which you will also find on the Camino de Finisterre, make fire give it an even more mystical character. If you want to know more about the Route to the End of the World, you can consult our article on the Camino de Finisterre. If you go to Santiago, don’t forget to do the Camino de Finisterre!

With everything we have told you and the information we provide you in the related posts that we have been suggesting throughout this text, you now know everything you need to know to complete the Camino de Santiago in November. If you make your trip between November and December or between October and November, be sure to check out the entries you will find in our blog about those months.

To say goodbye, we remind you that if you want to organize your pilgrimage to Compostela without having to worry about the logistical details and enjoying maximum comfort, you can go to an agency specialized in the Camino to help you organize your trip. If you contact us, we will be more than happy to advise you. You just have to call us or write us a comment at the end of this article or even on our page in Facebook.

Excellent trip. Thanks to Ylenia at Santiago Ways our trip was amazing. Accommodations and meals, she booked for us and day trip to Finisterre - PERFECT. Ylenia, was very patient with us. Our reservations had to be modified several times due to Covid and number of people in our group... changing. We have used Santiago Ways several times. Will use them again for our next “Camino Trail” adventure. Connie Earwoodread more

Our contact person with Santiago Ways was Ylenia Conesa. She was excellent to work with, she responded quickly to all our emails with all of our questions. I highly recommend her. Our trip was very well organized, we received all our information for the trip in a timely manner. We enjoyed all our... hotels, they were easy to find. The breakfast and dinners were adequate. We did not have any problems the whole trip. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Ylenia, we’ll contact you when we decide to do the Camino Portuguese. Buen Camino!read more

My partner and I finally got to experience our 5 day Camino pilgrimage walk from Sarria to Santiago in June 2022 - organized through Santiago Ways (SW) - after over 2 year delay due to Covid. We couldn't have been more thrilled from our experience once we landed in Spain from Canada.If you are... travelling overseas, trying travelling direct to Spain and avoid the lower cost European routes (i.e. easyjet) - flight cancellation/delays is about as common as the sun rising now so plan for this in your travels.SW staff were very professional and very helpful in answering all our questions prior to our trip. The Dossier and Vouchers that were sent to us were very clear and helpful to describe the route each day and where we stayed. Recommend you review your hotel locations on Google so you know where to find them once you arrive at each town/city.Our experience on the walk included breakfast, lunch and dinner for each day and the luggage transfer was a life saver allowing us to pack lightly each day. Strongly recommend you include you transfers as well to and from the airport to enjoy more time and less worry.The accommodations for our walk were well above average and more than we expected. Very clean, showers were hot (likely on demand) and the staff were very friendly at each of our stops.The staff at each place were very friendly but language barrier was there at times but never a problem.I strongly recommend using Santiago Ways in your Camino planning. Wouldn't think of any other group to help out. The peace and tranquility of walking on the countryside, the scenery, and laid back life was truly wonderful. Meeting so many pilgrims from all over and sharing our experience together was amazing and unforgettable.We are looking forward to doing this again in the future with the help of Santiago Ways.Buon Camino!Francesco & Claudetteread more

My husband and I completed the Portuguese Camino from Vigo to Santiago de Compostela in June 2022. From the planing to the completion of our trip everything exceeded our expectations.Santiago Ways did a wonderful job of having everything perfectly scheduled, from the airport transfers in Vigo and... Santiago de Compostela to the luggage transfers each day and the detailed information about each days walk. Numerous pilgrims commented on how much better our directions were and they were depending on our directions many times. The hotels we stayed at were amazing and the hosts at each hotel were always very helpful with recommendations on what to do and where to eat in each town. We had amazing food and drink along our whole journey and saw so many beautiful places.We have lifetime memories of the Camino thanks to everyone at Santiago Ways.If you are considering doing The Camino with Santiago Ways do not hesitate, go for it you will have the experience of a lifetime!read more

I would like to thank Alba Martinez and the whole team of Santiago ways for the job well done. My Husband really enjoyed the experience, of course without the helps of Santiago ways in organising everything, the Camino hike would be a very tough journey otherwise. But the attention to details,... communication, and so on..were excellent and highly recommended.read more

This included one (1) night when, after some slow going, they even called us to make sure we found the hotel! (We did!) SW and their professional handling our our itinerary could not have... been better. Our top recommendation for them! Fourontheway- October 2021 Falmouth MA USAread more

We were very happy with our experience with Santiago Ways. They were very professional, very responsive, extremely organized, and booked lovely places for us, including an exceptional casa rural. They provided detailed instructions about where we were staying and our luggage was always waiting for... us at our destination. All this at an excellent value. For reference, we completed the last stage of the French Camino, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela. Five stars for Santiago Ways!read more

My husband and I hiked the Camino De Santiago from Pamplona to Logroño. We used Santiago Ways to help plan our adventure... booking our hotels, breakfast, picnic and dinner as well as transferring luggage during the hike. It was extremely helpful because we traveled in February which is not a... popular time and all services are not available. The communication and service was excellent. Before, after and during the hike Angie Rinaudo kept in contact and answered all our questions in a timely manner. All the accommodations were excellent. We are planning to do more sections in the future and will definitely use Santiago Ways again.read more

This was our first time in Spain and first time walking on a daily basis. Santiago Ways answered our many questions and concerns over many emails. We started our walk September 1st 2019 in Sarria and took 10 days to walk to Santiago de Compostela. Santiago Ways booked our lodging in 10 different... places along with luggage transfers. We asked that all breakfasts,dinner and picnic lunch be included. Our accommodations varied from Albergues. Inns, Boutique hotel, to Bed and Breakfast. We truly enjoyed our picnic lunch as we could stop anywhere and enjoy the view. The accommodations - private room and private bathroom as we requested were not disappointing. We would recommend Santiago Way to anyone that needs some assistance in walking The Way.read more

We recently walked part of the Camino de Santiago Trail. Our trip was arranged by Santiago Ways. We were part of a larger group we had a tour guide and our luggage was transferred each day. Our trip was an immense success, everything went very smoothly and that in part was down to Veronica who... arranged the trip. She was very helpful throughout the whole planning procedure even arranging for a private transfer from the airport to Sarria, our start point. I would recommend Santiago Ways and Veronica and would definitely use them again.read more

After comparing several agencies, our group of 7 decided to go with Santiago Ways for our first Camino experience as they offered an all round better price for our customised package that included insurance, meals, accommodation, luggage transfers and any required transportation to accommodation.... The booking process was straightforward, they responded quickly to various enquiries and changes that we requested and they provided guidance on preparation and the Camino route which we referred to throughout our trip.We had a couple of issues including one of our group injuring her ankle but Santiago Ways were available 24 x 7 and they resolved everything efficiently including all communications required with local accommodation providers, taxis etc. which was very reassuring. Pilgrims we met who organised their accommodation en route had to deal with lack of accommodation in some locations and then they had to organise transport to and from the nearest hostels. We didn’t have any stress like this at all which left us free to enjoy the stunning scenery and great camaraderie on this wonderful trip. We will use Santiago Ways again and we can highly recommend them.read more

I booked my Camino de Santiago for Sept 2019 through Santiago Ways and the company made the experience absolutely wonderful. Vanessa Veiga was a pleasure to deal with, very professional and informative and made it very easy to arrange the entire trip. The accommodations and board booked through... Santiago ways were amazing, we were very pleased with the diversity (B&B, hotel, hostel) of the accommodations along with the service and cleanliness of the accommodations. The luggage transfer worked flawlessly. I would rate Santiago Ways 10 out of 10 and recommend them to anyone looking to book their Camino.read more

I was so pleased with the trip Santiago Ways set up for me to Walk The Camino Francés. My first experience was when I requested a quote in October 2018 for a August 2019 walk. Ylenia went above and beyond to answer all our questions and to provide numerous options for me before I made my final... decision on the trip. She was patient and thorough as I gathered information. Her follow up was amazing and her attention to detail was very assuring! Once I booked the trip she continued sending updates until we departed for Spain. Once we arrived in Spain Ylenia and the Operations team stayed in touch via email to answer any questions. The hotel accommodations for 39 days were all wonderful and the baggage transfer was perfect. Every day our bags were at the hotel by the time we arrived. One day my friend left her hat in the hotel room and Santiago Ways Operation team sent an email saying the hat would be waiting at our next hotel. That’s going “above and beyond”. I highly recommend using Santiago Ways for your Camino!!!!! We walked with numerous people who had used other companies and they all thought Santiago Ways had the best hotels. I’ve already referred a friend to them and definitely will use them for my next Camino. Thank you Santiago Ways!!!!!!!!read more

We booked our "Camino" trip via this agency. Our agent was Vanessa and we are ecstatic with the service! The booking went very smoothly. All our questions were answered and all our wished addressed in a very quick manner. Actually, the agency had to ping us a few times via email and WhatsApp, as we... were the ones too slow to answer them. They even made arrangements for us to take our dog on the trip and book the appropriate hotels. The luggage transfer was wonderful. We had a pickup from Santiago to our starting point on "Camino" that also worked perfectly. We can highly recommend the services of this agency. I have to admit that I have not compared prices and if there is something cheaper on the market, but the service we received here was impeccable. We had a wonderful trip and are planing to come back next year and walk another "Camino" again. Buen Camino everyone!read more

The experience was truly fantastic ….. mainly because of Santiago Ways.My contact person at Santiago Ways was Vanessa Veiga. Right from the onset Vanessa was extremely helpful... , sensitive and very attentive to all my requests. She responded swiftly to all my mails. She selected the right hotels which were excellent and the luggage always arrived on time.I am planning my second Camino next April and I would continue to use Santiago Ways and in particular Vanessa.

Santiago Ways made it possible for me to do the pilgrimage. At 69 I did not like the idea of staying in a hostal, I like a bit of privacy and comfort! And I could not have done the walking while carrying my luggage. Adriana at Santiago Ways helped me work out my route and booked hotels and luggage... transfers. Also, having them there in case I had any problems, was very reassuring. Adriana was only a phone call away. I recommend using Santiago Ways for anyone having doubts about doing the pilgrimage - they make it so much easier!read more

Vanessa was awesome and we loved Santiago Ways! We had a group of 8 college friends that were all around 50-years old. The deciding factor in choosing Santiago Ways was the group discount offered for groups of 6 or more. All other companies threshold for a discount was 10 people. Vanessa and the... staff were awesome to work with throughout the process. We did the five day hike from Sarria to Santiago. We requested superior accommodations in places that were on the trail. The accommodations were top notch and 4 of the 5 places were directly on the trail. The exception was our night in Lavacolla in which we were .4 miles off the trail. It was our choice to stay in that location in order to have a shorter walk to Santiago on our final day so we could make the noon mass. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean each place was and they all had great bar and restaurant choices in close proximity - with the exception of Lavacolla so we recommend eating on-site - it was very good.read more

My family and I used Santiago Ways to organize our recent pilgrimage from Lisbon to Porto. They did an excellent job booking us (as much as possible) into wonderful, small, family-run hotels and coping with the many changes dictated by "group" travel. In addition, one of us was traveling by bicycle... whilst the rest were walking, necessitating even more planning which Santiago Ways did with patience and grace. We recommend using Santiago Ways for Camino support and planning!!! Jan Schubertread more

My family and I (6 of us) just finished walking the Lisbon to Porto section of the Camino Portuguese. It was a wonderful experience for us. The hotels we were booked into were well chosen and the food was great. We also found the path to be well marked making way finding fairly easy. A great relief... as we had heard it was not well marked. Our luggage was efficiently transferred each day and everything ran very smoothly. Thank you Santiago Ways! We would definitely recommend your services to our friends. Jillread more

Santiago Ways made my memorable hike trouble-free. I had excellent hotels, tasty breakfasts, dependable baggage forwarding, informative advance information, and a dependable drive to deliver me to Sarria. I really appreciate their attention to detail!

We booked our El Camino with Santiago Ways and we were very lucky to have Silvia as our agent. She did a fantastic job organizing our trip, always promptly responding to our inquiries, impeccable English, all accommodations that she arranged for us were great, and our luggage was always delivered... to the next location timely, before our arrivals to sites. I would definitely recommend Santiago Ways and ask for Silvia to be your representative.read more

This trip changed my life in ways I could not describe! I knew the hiking was going to be a challenge, but Santiago Ways made it so easy to plan and execute. They are truly the best and I am already planning my next trip with Santiago Ways and would not think of going anywhere else. Silvia Rivera... was particularly helpful in the planning, as she answered all my questions patiently, and help me through the process. Great job, Guys, and I will see you next year!read more

Have just finished El Camino de Santiago from Sarria with the help of Santiago Ways. They have been extremely accesible from day one. The transfer of the luggage throught the five days was impecable, always finding the luggage in the room on every stage of the way. The food and lodging was very... acceptable. If I were to do it again I would not hesitate to contact them once more for their assistance! "Buen camino".read more

Simply put - an incredible experience! This agency looks after every last detail. I walked the last 100 km of the Camino with their help and I definitely want to go back soon and do a longer part of the route. When that happens (which I hope is soon) I'll definitely be using Santiago Ways again!... Thanks for everything.read more
