Ourense is a nice town to spend a day also. The Roman thermal bath is great and there are several of them. The cathedral has a nice museum.
Just sharing my thought — If I were to walk this route again, honestly, I would take a local bus to Quitela from Ourense. I made a note...
I am not quite clear on when your dayghter would join: beginning (as many suggested Sevilla), middle (as you mentioned Salamanca) or perhaps the end? What about meeting you in Ourense? It is the about 100km to SdC and can be done in 4 days. She can have a Compostela if that means something to...
Hi Vince, YES 6 weeks is doable. We are in Albeguria -140km to SdC on VdLP. Take a look at Youren2010 and Perigrina2000 - they did nice work in detailing their journey/stages. Also you may want to download Wise Pilgrim apps. It gives summary of whether a town/village / hamlet has...
No right or wrong way to do Camino right ? It is your Camino and if the taxi “is calling”, then taxi it is. Thanks for your diary. It helps me plan mine.
Thank you all for the info. My hubby works with disable people and he definitely would love to stay there.
@jony jony -- when are you starting? We fly to Seville on Sept 20 and will catch a bus to Merida then starts from there. See you somewhere. BC.
With appreciation

Hi, I thought I read somewhere that there is an Albergue ran by disabled people along VDLP. Does anybody have information on exactly where is this? Thank you much.
Brien,
Thank you for the detailed account of your journey. My husband and I are planning to go to VDLP in Sept. Your writing helps me with my planning and I am very excited.
Just to share, we did CF in May 2018 and spoiled ourselves at Hotel Monasterio san Zailo in Carrion de los Condes...
Hi, we are planning to walk via de la plata starting middle of Sept for about 25-27 days. We like to start walking from Seville, skip a few routes, and walk Camino Sanabres all the way. We walked Camino Frances in May from St Jean Pied de Port and took bus from Burgos-Leon and train from...
Youren, I just found you today. What a blessing! We are planning to do this route in September and you offer so much information. I have a question ... what is the name of the medieval alburgues you stayed in Rionegro? Thank you much!
