- Time of past OR future Camino
- A few and hopefully lots more.
Ever the optimist, I decided to book a Ryanair flight to Sevilla for October. As with the others I've booked since this pandemic began, I'm very OK with the fact that it may or may not happen. Having a Camino on the calendar always lifts my spirits!.
It will be a short trip, with about 10 days of walking. As I've already spent time in Sevilla and walked the first few kms, I plan to start from Santiponce and probably finish in Cáceres. After than, I'll take transport to meet up with my other half who hopes to walk the Francés in September/October. That bit is pretty vague at the moment, but I'm thinking that Zamora or Ourense might be nice places to spend a couple of nights before we fly home. There's a good bus service between Cáceres and Zamora and regular trains from Zamora to Ourense.
I'm comfortable with walking 30+ kms most days and the odd 40km one, so I could probably get further than Cáceres. However, the transport options seem pretty limited in the smaller places, so I'm not sure how that would work out. Has anyone managed to connect with e.g. a bus to Salamanca or back to Cáceres from Grimaldo or Carcaboso?
Any other tips or words of wisdom from those who've walked this route? I'm assuming that walking in October doesn't present any particular difficulties, but maybe I'm wrong about that.
