    LIVE from the Camino Via de la Plata Daily Journal: May 2019 - June 2019

    Hola Daniel; I am really enjoying your thoughtful posts, and your pictures bring back such great memories of my VDLP walk last Fall. With regards to fasting; the primary intention of my VDLP Camino was spiritual, so the fasting that I disciplined myself to was sacrificial in nature. During my...

    Via de la Plata - Pilgrim numbers in decline / flatlining

    Hola; I walked the VDLP in the Fall of 2018; it was my first Camino, and I loved it. I also found the infrastructure to be quite adiquate. I don't think that all the Caminos have to be or should be like the CF or any other Camino. They should each be unique and offer a Pilgrim the experience...

    How/why is VdlP difficult?

    Hola JillGat, I walked the VDLP in the fall of 2018. I agree with you regarding the terrain on VDLP. I think there will be times when you can do 20 kms or less, and there will also be times when you may have to do more than 20 kms. With good planning and flexibility, you may be able to...

    Italica

    Hola, I walked the VDLP this past fall. Italica was one of the places I was not planning on stopping at, but was glad I did. The VDLP is filled with places that have a lot of Roman history and sites, and Italica is definitely one of these places. I viewed Italica as one of the places that set...

    Questions about Via de la Plata...

    Hola Karin, Si, most-all of these stretches are more than 25 Kms, but there are also many stretches that are less than 25 Kms. So maybe another option would be to balance longer walking dias with shorter walking dias. This is one of the strategies that I used when I knew I had a long walk/day...

    Questions about Via de la Plata...

    Hola, of course it is possible, because many have already walked the VDLP. I probably averaged between 25 & 30 kpd. Most-all the people that I met were able to finish the VDLP; some just finished faster than others. If you realistically & practically plan your days; plus with your experience on...

    Questions about Via de la Plata...

    Hola Amigos, I recently finished walking the VDLP ((Oct 2018), and it was a great experience. I have been told by some - that there are differences between the VDLP and the CF, but I guess that is to be expected. The VDLP was my first Camino. Back home in the US, I usually hike long distances...

    Hi Youren, I hope all is going well with you. Thanks for your reply and thoughts, it is very helpful. Actually, I have found your posts to be helpful and insightful. If you don't mind me asking: What cell service do you use? I have Verizon, and I am trying to decide whether I should go with...
