We are planning to walk the VdlP this November and have some questions:
Flying from Boston we will land in Madrid. Should we continue on to Seville or plan to take a train if that would save considerable money?
And what would be the best way to get from the Seville airport or train station into town. We will be staying either at the Triana Backpackers (such varied reports on noise, no noise!) or some other recommended place.
I noted a reference in a past posting about "Isabelle's very wise off-road route to Oliva de Placencia" but have been unable to find it. Can someone describe that route?
What are the temperatures in Seville in the beginning of November?
If Wes joins me (he will be 83 in November) he will need to transport his pack. After the Primitivo in May this year he has realized that it would be better for him in every way to not carry the full backpack. We know there are no transport companies on the VdlP and neither of us want to take taxis ourselves to shorten the stages. Would it be possible to hire someone/a taxi to transport the a bag each day? We are prepared to take on this added expense in order to make it possible for Wes to walk this camino.
Many thanks in advance for any help you can give!
