    Hi, I have also heard about it (it made the way through up to Salamanca already) but I heard it was a heart attack. I am in Salamanca now and here are some pilgrims and they are all complaining about the heat. I think you just have to listen to your body and take breaks! I was with two other...

    FYI: in Monesterio the Alb. Los Moreras is closed in August and maybe Will not open in September. It is around 1 km left from the Main Street which means 2 more km if you walk there and back in the heat. So I recommend to just take the alb. Parroquial at the Main Street on the left. Very nice...

    Via de la Plata in August 2016 - anybody else there?

    Good to know that there are at least some people around ;-) I also prefer to walk alone (I think ...) but still a start together would be nice . Anyway... I am sure we will meet - looking forward to it!

    Via de la Plata in August 2016 - anybody else there?

    Hi, I will start in Sevilla around August 17th. I am looking forward to walking a lot alone, but I also heard that it should be really lonesome at this time. Therefore I wanted to ask if anybody else will be there and maybe if someone wants to start together?
