[QUOTE="NomadBoomer, post: 805802, member: 73130"] I did the half vdlp from Salamanca in may 2018 after doing the CF in sept 2017. It's a very different experience than the CF, I think you may need to do a bit more research before committing, a round number of km is not enough. The distance between villages and alburges is greater and you can't stick to a fixed number of km every day. I found it easy to walk greater distances on this route, geography and less reasons to stop. The walkers on this camino tend to be older fitter more experienced walkers and hence if you walk low km you will be always falling behind the nice folks you meet. For me the best thing about the vdlp was due to low numbers of walkers and alburges was that most evenings you knew 90% of the people in the alburge from previous nights. Real sense of family when you knew everyone on the path and if you didn't you chatted to make sure you did ( till the last 100km anyhow) I had a fantastic time and made some great friends but I missed the magic that CF has for me. More of a long distance walk than a pilgrimage, not so much in the way of churches or pilgrim masses. Also too much walking near highways or rail tracks for my liking. I walked the CF again in Aug /September 2019 - absolutely magic. Always worth considering, mind you I'm thinking only every second walk on the CF, norte/ primitivo 2020. Buen camino [/QUOTE]
