If you have the opportunity to visit Spain during Semana Santa...take it! My wife and I were in Cadiz for Holy Thursday, and Jerez de la Frontera for Easter Sunday last year. If we can...a repeat visit during Holy Week...would be our goal. Buen...
I walked last year during Semana Santa on the VdlP.
Though I made sure I was clear of Seville before it started.
I saw the 'full' procession in Merida, that was wonderful.
I saw a small local procession in Alcuescar, a small town.
We sat...
Bom Caminho! I plan to start in Porto on late August. I walked the CF last fall and thought that I would be "one and done". After being home about a month I was ready to return.
I wish you guys the best of luck. Make sure to enjoy every step, and...
I was originally planning this Camino solo, but my 27-year-old daughter decided it was a journey she was called to make as well. We’re from Indiana in the U.S., and flew in on TAP with a direct flight from EWR. We spent the day in NY before our 1...

I’ve been on the Vdlp this month and although wet and soggy / it was preferable to my...
Oh I don't know Richard...sort of think I'd trade the burbs of Atlanta for ANYWHERE in a soggy Spain right now! That said, in reading the reports coming in, I take my hat off for those enterprising pilgrims on the path right now.
Sounds fun! But might be very (very) soggy now, if not impassable. See the other thread from today regarding flooding on the Via de la Plata. Glad you had a great time!
Via Augusta (Cadiz to Seville) is an amazing walk of about five days. Not ideal for the pilgrim wedded to albergue accommodation, but lots of quite nice and very affordable bar/hotels on this route. Walked it this time last year, and will...
