[QUOTE="Grousedoctor, post: 1095298, member: 55156"] The VDLP is a great route to ride. With regard to your specific question, going from Sevilla to Almaden de La Plata is a very long day! That climb you mentioned is tough. Although I completed the first day to Almaden, I was exhausted (age 68 at the time). In hindsight and offering you some advice from experience, ride shorter days. Although I basically followed the stages outlined on Gronze.com, riding three stages a day (or about 50 miles using a combination of trails and roads) was too much. Two stages a day is much more reasonable. Further, take a couple days off or do very short biking days into a couple of the wonderful cities along The Way: Merida, Caceres, and Salamanca. My pace was too fast! Much of it is now a blurr compared to the Caminos that I’ve walked. Enjoy your ride. It’s a great one. [/QUOTE]
