I am in Alcuescar tonight. There is approximately the same amount of pilgrims everyday on the road, a small dozen, staying either in albergues or hostals. They all are not the same people everyday.
So far, I have been suprised by the quality of the accomodation. I’ve stayed in both albergues...
Hi, I departed from Sevilla this morning, sunday 24.
I am staying at the Luz del Camino tonight.
Yesterday 10 pilgrims stayed over here and 10 tonight, which looks a good score for the VDLP. I took the new route with the bridges on the right passed Santiponce which was a good pick considering...
I selfishly hope that all the different caminos will keep their specifity for any pilgrim to find its own. The francés for the sociability, the Via de la Plata for more intimacy or solitude, the Portugués for a bit of both etc…
May all the caminos don’t look the same !
Hi,
The Via de la Plata is renowned for its long stretches between villages or cities.
I was wondering if mobile phones can get connection on those long stages or if you only get some when you approach civilisation.
Thank you !!
Thank you Robo and LTfit.
Thank you Trecile for the great link !
After all, the cold doesn’t bother me that much. That season is a good catch. It will be better than walking in the heat, which, as a mediterranean, I try to avoid at all cost.
Thank you for your answers and advices !
It looks like it will still be a winter weather, maybe even from Sevilla. So I will bring my warm sleeping bag, some extra clothes and hope for the best.
Nobody seem to regret a winter departure, especially on this camino.
Hi pilgrims !
I am considering walking the Via de la Plata from Sevilla the last week of february to the end of march.
Any of you can tell me what type of weather did you experience at this time of the year there ?
I read the great report written by Karin309 but that was in january/february...
