Hi,
I posted some questions earlier about walking in Feb./March and the replies were so favorable that I think I will probably do it. I feel a little less prepared than my previous caminos but will try to get in a lot of walking before late February when I hope to begin.
1) I'm assuming I can get a credencial at the Cathedral in Sevilla. Is that right?
2) I know this truly depends on the individual but...any general comments on how long it took to complete? My understanding is that some of the stages tend to be longer than on the Frances due to the way the accomodation is spread out. I averaged about 30 km/day on the Frances but of course, that being an average, walked a few 40km days and several shorter days. I have some time contraints but could always stop and continue at a later date but I'd like to do it in one go if possible.
3) Is the route fairly well marked? I don't yet have a guidebook but will try to pick one up of, at the very least, download some pages/maps from the internet
4) I plan to walk on the via de la plata and then pick up the sanabres route (as I have already walked the Frances and woudl prefer something different than repeating the route from Astorga). Any reason why I should not continue on the Sanabres...I haven't heard much about it.
