VDLP (2018)
Greetings pilgrims,
I fly to Sevilla 09 Jan 18 arriving mid morning where I hope to catch a train to Cadiz & begin my Camino the following morning northwards to Sevilla & beyond. I have almost 3 weeks & return to Sevilla for a flight home on 30 Jan 18. Basically my plan is to return at a later date pick up where I left off and continue on to Santiago de Compostelo, thereby completing the Camino in 2 stages.
I have walked several Camino in this manner as I cannot get more than 3 weeks off from my job. I have researched the average weather for that time of year and don’t think it should be a major problem barring extreme flooding etc. I am coming from Ireland where I do a lot of walking, so Southern Spain should be a little milder & not as wet as at home. I have read several blogs about the VDLP, where loneliness & isolation has been a problem for some but again I am happy enough with my own company if there are no others on the trail & would be content to meet up with whoever I can whenever I can.
I have enough information on the route once I arrive back in Sevilla but what I would like to know is the Camino from Cadiz to there.
Would anyone have the answers to any of the following questions please ?
Is there an albergue in Cadiz that will be open in January ?
What are the suggested stages ? At the start of any Camino I like to keep the distance travelled down to no more than 30Kms per day for the first 3 or 4 days.
Will there be albergues open on this route at this time of the year ?
If not are there pension or small hotels ?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I look forward to any comments or advice from anyone with experience of this particular Camino.
