Hola -
Can anyone help with this issue? We walked this wonderful route two years ago from Sevilla to SdC. We have walked several different routes and the VDLP won as the route we would most like to walk again next year. This time we think we'd like to start in Merida (or thereabouts). I've looked at various ways of getting to Merida, and I think I've come up with:
Fly Canada to London - don't ask
Fly London to Lisbon (cheap!) - about 141 Euro
Bus from Lisbon to Merida. - 31 Euro
We had previously thought to take the Eurostar from London to Paris and then the night train to Madrid and then bus to Merida (or somewhere on the VDLP) but that configuration was way more expensive than the one above (but probably more fun and we were loving the idea of seeing Paris once again.)
I'd appreciate any opinions or suggestions you could give me on this tentative plan - we have never started on any route at anywhere other than the "traditional" starting places, and this seems a little stickier.
Thanks.
