    Looking for answers to planning questions

    Hi, I walked the Via de la Plata last year in sept/oct. Started in Sevilla, was planning to start in Cadiz but didn't hear very positive comments about that first part. Met someone on the way who did start in Cadiz and she wasn't too positive about it either. I started 31st of August. It was...

    Sevilla - Guillena safety

    Thanks, I just booked my flight (so excited!) and will leave the 30th or 31th of August from Sevilla. I guess I will see if there are any other pilgrims. If I somehow don't feel comfortable I can always take the bus... A bit off topic but as you walked in the same period @Old Gringo , I was...

    Sevilla - Guillena safety

    Thanks all. I haven't trained specifically for the camino, with backpack for example, but I am pretty fit and have done walks of 30 and 40 km. Also done quite some walks in the Amazon and am used to some heat. But I am planning to take it slow wherever it is possible. Didn't know about those...

    Sevilla - Guillena safety

    Hi all, I'm planning to leave Sevilla around the 1st of September and have read several reports of people taking the bus for the first part because of robberies. I was planning to walk in 2 parts, staying at Santiponce the first night (to get used to the heat, and because I haven't been...

    Via de la Plata app?

    Thanks, I just downloaded that accommodation guide as well. I'm not doing a lot of pre-planning, but even on the best marked routes I always manage to get lost and walk in the wrong direction so I do need a guide as a back-up :) Hope it will not be too exploded yet. I will take my time, short...

    Via de la Plata app?

    Thanks, very useful info! Downloaded both the Erosky (there an Android version as well) as Via de la Plata app to check it out. I see the Gerard Kelly book will have an update soon so that will be perfect!

    Via de la Plata app?

    Hi all, I'm planning to walk the Via de la Plata in September this year. Because of weight I prefer not to bring a guidebook but to use an app. I wonder if there are any recent experiences with good apps for this route? Preferably in English but Spanish is possible too. Thanks! Susan

    april or june/july

    Hi all, I'm new in the camino-world but planning to go for it this year. Somehow I am drawn to the VdlP. I have to be back home between 3-17 May. I could walk before, starting beginning of April and not do the whole camino, or after. I think before it might still be cold? I've read that August...
