    Via de la Plata not for first Camino...

    Not for me to tell anyone what to do But if I hadnt read all advice here I would not have coped as well on my Caminos. Easy things. Dont expect cafe bars for morning or on many days any stops. This is difficult as you have many long stages and also no shade. You cant predict weather. I should...

    Peace on the Via de la Plata

    UnaDara reporting from Merida. There are 26 pilgrims in Castilblanco. Some did long day into Monasterio. I find ground dry, sun very hot after 12 midday and hotter still after 6pm.

    Easter Week-Booking ahead-Via de la Plata, Merida?

    Easter Week-Booking ahead-Via de la Plata, Merida?

    Hi Everyone I have no experience of walking in this busy period. Are Refugio beds kept for Pilgrims only and if there are many Spanish walkers? do they book ahead, can you book ahead for Municipal Alberques. If I am going to be in Merida semana santa should I anticipate and book a bed in...

    LFitz? are you recommending we bring bog snorkelling gear! Would gaiters be any use through water? Just keep taking the boots off or taking the road detours? Not going till Apr so maybe there will be a change, no change here in Ireland, keeps raining.

    Public transport on the Via de la Plata

    Laurie I might get to do 3 of the shorter Caminos you recommend, tie them in together in one trip. Or start in France ? or go from Lourdes ? Or Canterbury ?. But for now and this year a BIG/long one, VdeLa Plata. I took early retirement just 5 yrs ago. Since then I have been very lucky to spend...

    Buen Camino John Love to hear your stories on arrival back, I hope to travel the Via de la Plata via Zamora leaving late April, Your kit list is amazing, let us know what you are reading? and is it only CSJ guide or Alison's also. You are an inspiration. Una

    Beginner!

    Gosh Falcon! are you saying veteran "members/walkers" are NOT amenable? I will stick my neck out and advise to start with the Camino Frances as it is very well equipped with accommodation, guidebooks and signposting. You have plenty of time to get fit, enjoy the planning.
