    A flasher between Santiponce and Guillena

    A general description of the man is that he is in his 40's or 50's and that he is chubby. This happened before the flooded section (where you need to take a slight detour over a narrow metal bridge). I advise having the emergency contact for the police on hand as it appears that this guy has...

    A flasher between Santiponce and Guillena

    A couple of day's ago, a female pilgrim mentioned that whilst she was walking the route from Santiponce to Guillena - along that large stretch of wilderness where there is a flood about half way - she noticed a white van parked up ahead with a guy peeing behind the white van. As she approached...

    Casa Salvador is excellent.

    Aargh, it's my treasure! :) I left the VdlP at the Roman arch and decided to head up to Burgos to walk the Meseta.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Via de la Plata with New Friends

    I was in Cadiz for about 10 days over Xmas and New Year. I love Cadiz. I can recommend Pension Cadiz. I was going to walk the Camino Augustus but I wanted more infrastructure for pilgrims, so I began in Sevilla. My backpack is heavy because of computer equipment and clothes. I am going to...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Via de la Plata with New Friends

    I just want to write that it is possible to walk 50-60km per day if you don't have a rucksack, or if you have a very light rucksack. If you have a light rucksack, you can expect to walk around 40km per day. If, like me, you are walking with approx. 20kg+ on your back, you can expect to walk a...

    I am staying at the "truckers" hostel (Hostal Asturias) tonight, with two other pilgrims. We were picked up at the Arco de Caparra and driven to the hostal. It is 25 for a single room with heating, hot shower, internet. The family owning the hostal is really nice and welcoming. It is absolutely...

    I stayed there last night, in the Hostal Milenium. It was actually OK. I paid 25 Euro. The owner was nice, the shower was hot, the bed was comfy, and there was heating. It was quite basic, but no regrets. Btw, the Cerveceria Casa Madrile is very pilgrim-friendly. The guy behind the bar was a...

    I just want to second what Karin wrote about staying at the Hotel Diana in Villafranca de los Barros. It's a really good deal and it is pilgrim-friendly. I arrived at 11:30am and asked if I could check in early and it wasn't an issue. It's a lovely town too and so far very friendly. A real...

    They only opened the Albergue in summer 2022.

    I have a really good tip for pilgrims. Today, I walked from Monesterio. I was going to stay in Fuente de Cantos, but the Albergue was closed and I didn't fancy the Casa after visiting the rooms. So, instead, I walked on to Calzadilla de los Barros. It's about six kilometres from Fuente de...
