    Pilgrimages at Home

    Hi. All of my long-distance hiking to date has been along the Via de la Plata. That's about to change this Saturday, when I'm going to do a thru-hike of the Ice Age Trail, one of America's 11 National Scenic Trails. The IAT is 1,200 miles, all within Wisconsin (my home state), and traces the...

    Skullduggery in Castilblanco

    Hi. I'm currently on the VDLP. This morning in Castilblanco de los Arroyos, a local told me lots of peregrinos in the albergue are being robbed, plus some people are duping peregrinos by saying they need to pay for a sello. Not sure if this is a recent development or what, but FYI ... Melanie

    Dog Warning

    Hi. I'm in Zamora now and wanted to warn those behind me about two aggressive dogs that are just outside the town of Calzada de Valdunciel, a little north of Salamanca. Two days ago as I was leaving town around 1 p.m., I heard two dogs barking and racing towards me. They appeared to be German...

    Camino Portugues de Via de la Plata - On my way

    Hi Juli. Tell me where you stay the next few nights. There don't seem to be many places to stay between Salamanca and Ourense (albergue and non-albergue), and I'll be heading out from Salamanca in September. Have a great trip! Melanie

    What is this place?

    Hi. My husband and I walked from Sevilla to Merida in November. Maybe a mile or two before we arrived in Fuente de Cantos we came across what looked like a very nice, newer albergue. A sign on the gate said Villa Camino de Santiago. It could also have simply been someone's home. I meant to ask...

    Sevilla pilgrim shops

    Heading out Sunday to start the VDLP in Sevilla. Anyone know of pilgrim shops that sell scallop shells and things like that? I assume there will be some around the cathedral, but I also know one should never assume anything! Thanks, Melanie
