    Albergues yet open on the Via de la Plata/Camino Sanabrés

    Thnx Gerald. I’m on my way now. Already 5th track. Indeed no tents or matresses required. Most Hostels are open and in some villages even the Alb Municipals re-open.

    Albergues yet open on the Via de la Plata/Camino Sanabrés

    Hi there, I started 2 days ago on the Via de la Plata. In Castelblanco now. Please note that all Albergues Municipals are closed. (Apart from the one in Casar). Private Hostels are mostly open, but have limited capacity because of Corona. Every day I meet about 6 peregrinos , and sometimes...

    Wow. that's heavy. I'll definitely take an emergency rtion with me. How did you manage to sleep? a matress outside? And was the village fully booked or just too small to serve anything?

    Thanks Aidan! Good to hear that you managed to find places to stay. Yes, I'll prepare for more lonelyness and more uncertainties in where to stay tahan on the Frances. Did you have problems in finding food/menu peregrino's? Or is it wise to take enough food for 24h just in case of emergency? And...

    Hi David, thnx for your reply. Wow 48c is indeed too much. Forecasts now are max 32 or so. I’m an early walker (headlights if necessary) so temps should be ok. I think I will take at least an ultralight mattress. Just in case. Just called 3 private Albergues to make reservations. 2 won’t answer(…)

    Hi, arriving in Seville on Monday night sept 20, 2021, I will start the Via de la Plata on wednesday 22nd. This will be my 3rd Camino, and most likely the hottest and hopefully not the most lonely one😀 Made some reservations for the first night. Not sure yet what to do with the next nights. I...

    Via de la Plata Oct 2022

    Hi Robi, thanks for your response. I'm planning to walk from Seville to Salamanca starting sept 21 or so. I would like to start a week later but I don't know whether it fits with other obligations. I gues I will start walking rather early in the day which is fine with me. This will be my 3rd...

    Albergues yet open on the Via de la Plata/Camino Sanabrés

    Ah, thnx. I've looked into some camping posts and indeed it's quite difficult (and mostly illegal) to camp into the wild. And not necessarily safe (wild life, dogs). However, most albergues allow you to sleep in their gardens or shed. A light-weight mattress would be then a safe compromise then...

    Albergues yet open on the Via de la Plata/Camino Sanabrés

    Hi, I'm planning to start walking the VdlP around the 3rd week of september from Sevilla. Given the uncertainties in the availability of albuergues/hostels is it wise to take a ultra light tent (700gr)? Just in case? Is there an update planned of: http://viadelaplataguide.net/pages/updates ...
