    Booking accommodation - email or WhatsApp best?

    I've used both, depending on the situation, and both have worked.

    this is highly likely

    Phone connection on VDLP

    Have used both carriers on different caminos...both worked well. Suggest that shortly before you go you look online to see which has the better deal 'at the moment'.

    Phone connection on VDLP

    I had the same experience with Vodaphone - Sevilla to Santiago. For sure though, there are likely some 'dead' areas, especially in the mountains.

    eSim for Spain

    Spanish sims are fairly cheap, though the 'deals' change from time to time. I've used Orange, Vodafone and Movistar and all have worked well for me. A 'typical deal' would be 100G for 25 Euros for 28 days - and you could add more data if you use it up. You should be able to set up WhatsApp so...

    About SIM cards and accommodation

    h\Have used Vodafone on that route. Worked well for me.

    Salvador/Primitivo in June... Will I be alone?

    Hard to say. I just finished it on June 12 and saw a total of 4 other pilgrims in the 6 days I walked it. I'm sure there were more than than that, but just didn't 'run' into them.

    Wise Pilgrim App Porto to Vigo

    Yes, it's good. I used it last fall for the Portuguese Coastal

    Highlights of Via de la Plata

    I've stayed at La Flamenka Hostel. It was good, close to 'old town' and start of the Camino.

    High speed train Santiago to Madrid

    You don't have to book this early, but suggest you do so a month ahead of time - my guess is it's unlikely that the trains get booked out. I've used RailEurope to book my trips as I had problems using the Renfe website. if you're concerned about flexibility, it's possible to pay a bit more so...

    Cell phone sim cards

    I could be quite wrong here, but isn't the GB T-moble limited...like maybe 5GB for X days?

    Walking from Porto Airport to Vila do Conde

    I'm sure you could do it, though much/all of it would probably be on roads. The Porto metro system (Red Line) runs to VdC. You could pick up the Purple line at the airport, exit a Verdes, and hop on the Red Line to VdC.

    Cell phone sim cards

    Suggest you wait and buy a SIM card when you arrived in Spain/Portugal. Last fall I did the Portuguese and El Salvador. Bought a Vodaphone SIM card in Madrid and never had any connection issues - cost was about 25 euros for 100GB/28 days. The short term plans are continually changing though...

    Sevilla

    Stayed a La Flemenka Hostel last spring. Would recommend it. Near/in the old town area and easy access to the camino.
