    Am I crazy to think about walking the Via de la Plata in July-Aug?

    Hi Middo... I ended up not walking the VDLP during the summer. I acquiesced to the smarter people than I here, and ended up walking the Norte/Primitivo which was fantastic... I would still love to walk the VDLP one day, but it likely won't be in the summer. I hope your walk in late...

    Great advice... thank you St Mike! Good recommendations re pack weight. Fortunately I am fluent in Spanish and lived in the tropics. I am hoping to pause for rest days, and if needed am flexible for accommodation.

    Happy for you! I'm from Toronto and walked the CF last summer for my 50th as well.

    Thanks everyone for your comments and for sharing your experiences. I get up early so will likely leave at 5 and try to do most of my walking before noon if I do this route.

    I have booked my flight to do the VdlP, but now am doubting myself.

    I had the very same experience - loved it and hated it. But once again yearning to repeat... :) Thanks for posting.

    Am I crazy to think about walking the Via de la Plata in July-Aug?

    Yes, I know it will be super hot. But the summer window is the only one I've got. I walked the Francés last summer, then went to Sevilla for a week so I am familiar with how hot the south can be. Is there anywhere that will tell me how many peregrinos are on the way at that time of year...
