    Traffic doubles on the Camino de Levante

    When I came through Ávila in June I was only the fifth English person out of about 400. The levante is still way more popular with the Spanish than any other nationality so far, probably due ho the need to be fairly self sufficient in speaking spanish.

    Ávila to SdC starting today

    English language Guide for the Levante. Hope to start april

    I too will be doing the levante from Àvila to SdC, leaving on 16th June. I ordered the spanish guide and would advise allowing 15 days for delivery to Europe.. Also don't use a uk bank like Barclays to transfer the funds because they will charge £25 commission. I set up a Western Union online...
