Cancelling a Camino due to weather conditions.

Question

Hi all! A few days ago I started the Camino Primitivo and it has been amazing. Unfortunately the weather has changed for the worst from 19 degrees to 3 with relentless rain and icey winds which might last the rest of the Camino. It is even to the point that if you try the hospitales route and something goes wrong, you are on your own (according to a other pelgrim)

Adding up to that I been struck with food poisoning and slowly recovering.

What would you all do?? I have a few options..

1: taking the bus back and then fly back home and do some other hike and finish the Camino later.

2: take the bus to Oviedo, then Santiago, recover there and might do the walk to Finesterre.

3: or wait for the weather to clear and recover in the meantime.

Greetings from Tineo!!!
