Vdlp during xmas break?

[Anemone del Camino]

ok, so I sort of quickly Googled this and got little next to nothing, I am becoming one of these people who asks all of you to tell me all you know without making much of an effort. But it just dawned on me that I have lots of to,e of during the Xmas holydays, amd since I do not stand heat, why not this route?

Since you are allowed to be as lazy as I am being, are there any basic links for me to check? I am curious about what stages I might be able to do due to opening dates,and waether.

Muchisimas gracias!​

Although I'm not much help with albergues around this time I can tell you Sevilla is gorgeous at Christmas. I lived there for a while and loved the 'mild' Christmas compared to snow in the North. It's cold but lovely for walking. Do plan a few days in Sevilla before you head off.

Download the app VDLP by Melanie Radiski McManus. She provides plenty of detail on each stage including accommodation. I used it in April when I walked from Saville to Merida. Well worth the price... Also check out the resources section on this forum.

Yes Liz, great Idea. Although I walked VdlP last year for the second time, I used two resources.
1. Melanie’s app (great for the occasional ‘tricky bit’) and
2. Jirit’s accommodation list from the Camino Resources section here on the site. I’d suggest also have a mobile phone to call ahead and check albergues are open.

That’s all you’ll need. The route is really well marked and the locals are awesome, always ready to lend a hand if you are not sure of the path. Always check the ‘exit’ from a town the night before as you’ll probably be leaving low light in the mornings.
Buen Camino and enjoy Andalusia
