Three of us from Vancouver and One other I responded to. Four of us are staying in the same Narrava hotel in Pamplona Going to SJPP On the 8th.
If you are interested, the Victoria Chapter of the Canadian Company of Pilgrims is putting on a one day event with all sorts of info on the Camino on May 28th. The details are here: http://victoriacamino.ca/spring-gathering-2015/ I'm in the Vancouver area and have walked the camino from Saint Jean Pied de Port three times now so would be happy to help answer any questions if you would like. I am training now for this year's walk from Cadiz north to Santiago starting mid April if all goes well. ¡Buen Camino!

Chrisje, hope you get a wonderful walk on Via de la Plata. Do not miss the Site of the Roman city of Italica in Santiponce on your way out of Seville and all the other beautiful Roman sites in the cities/towns along the way. Walked there at the same time in 2011 and spring is excellent for the Via de la Plata. Buen camino!

Thanks Ranthr, it's hard to wait till 8th of May !
We will take our time to see all the beautiful things on the way and of course we're looking forward to walk in springtime ! A lot of flowers, the green prairies. It will be complete different to our walk in august 2014, the camino Frances. However we realy enjoyed it.

All you springtime walkers are in for a real treat. Flowers and running water everywhere (with the exception of the three Roman bridges standing far from water on the way into Merida). And you will have an abundance of choices for rest days because this route has to be the one with the best collection of mid sized cities in Spain (Mérida, Cáceres, Salamanca, Zamora, Ourense, you just can´t beat that!).
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Le Puy to sjpdp, next planned Norte.
Is there someone starting around 8 may ?
Hi. I hope to be in Seville to start my second Camino on May 8. Tomorrow I plan to book a flight to Madrid then train to Seville. This is exciting and I hope there are others to meet up with.

Le Puy to Santiago 2005 and a few more since
I get to Madrid on the 8th May, a few days in Cordoba and Seville. Start walking north about the 15th - hope to see some of you on the way. Destination Salamanca, perhaps Zemora. I am going for the pleasure of seeing Spain and the Spanish, so perhaps a few more rest days along the way.
