    Getting Worried

    Hi! I am starting out from Seville on the 4th of April. I think these last minute jitters are normal, I had them before I walked my previous two Caminos, and everything seemed to fall into place nicely. Once you actually get there, and start walking, the worries drop away and you quickly...

    VDLP APRIL 2016...Seville...Who's starting out on the camino in April?

    Thanks for those suggestions. As far as accommodation in Santiago is concerned, in 2013 I stayed in a private room at the Seminario Menor, it was basic but the kitchen downstairs was well equipped with lots of eating area. It was quite quiet, ( I stayed there in mid October), and I would...

    Rest days between Burgos and Santiago

    When I walked in 2009 and 2013, I enjoyed breaks at ( in no particular order) : Burgos, Leon, Sarria, Astorga, Ponferrada, and Carrion de Los Condes. Although a bit early in the walk, Pamplona or Logrono would be a good candidates. I tried to choose places that had something interesting to...

    when to walk the VdlP?
