The VdlP landscape in May

[Sheffield James]

Having walked my previous caminos in the 'green' of spring, or in the winter months, I have yet to fulfil my wish to walk through stretches of those 'classic' sun-bleached fields often seen in photos taken in the hot, summer season. While I appreciate that my upcoming Camino also starts in the spring-time, I'm curious to learn my chances of experiencing a straw-coloured vista at any point along the VdlP route during the month of May.

When I walked it in May it was gloriously green.
When I walked it in June it was dry and brown and hot and the fountains were dry in many places.

Thanks Annie, I guess I may have to check my schedule to see if I can walk more slowly. Alternatively, I may be forced to try a later month next time.

May was beautifully green and fresh last year, with an abundance of spring flowers.

Feel free to take a look at my blog - Camino Mozarabe (from Malaga) for lots of photos of the VdlP from Mérida - link below...

So glad it will be green and colourful in May! I've already done brown and to be honest, it gets old after a few days!

There were a few freshly ploughed fields that were very brown. It is surprising how that got me down, and how my spirits lifted immediately when the scenery changed back to green.
