I started walking the VdlP from Sevilla on April 29 last year (after walking the Via Augusta). What a wonderful adventure! I highly recommend taking some extra time to experience the Roman ruins in Merida, the beautiful university city of Salamanca, and the thermal baths in Ourense. Enjoy!!
Hello Talia. I walked the VDLP last year starting from Sevilla on the 30th of April. I loved the experience. Overall the weather was fantastic and not too hot. That said, there were some very rainy days. Starting in April is a good plan because central Spain does get very hot during the summer...

Lovely Paddy. If all goes according to plan, I'll be leaving Sevilla three days behind you. I'm going to take a rest day there and enjoy the city. But I'll keep an eye out for you - who knows, we may bump into each other along the way :-). That's the wonderful thing about the camino. Wishing you...
Hi Dave. I'll also be walking the VdlP and plan to walk into in Sevilla on April 27. I'll be starting from Puerto de Santa Maria and walking for 5 days on the Via Augusta before arriving in Sevilla to start the VdlP route. This is also my first time walking the VdlP and am really looking forward...
