    Choice of variants on Sanabres

    I'll be walking Camino Sanabres this April from Puebla de la Sanabria. I see on Gronze that there are a couple of splits in the Camino with different routes. I'd like to hear others' experiences/recommendations about which way to turn at the forks in the road.

    Plasencia detour and the Natural VdlP

    Hi all I'm reading through the virtual VdlP and this is something I didn't see mentioned. One version I can see from this hiking map would be to follow EX-370 from Carcaboso up to the elevated roundabout. A dirt path then branches off, going under the motorway. 8 km of tarmac to get to that...

    ALL NEW Route into Ourense - avoid the poligono and walk in nature!

    People that have encountered me on the Camino have probably at some point got to know about my utter dislike for asphalt. As opposed to some puritans I like to adapt my camino if it means nicer paths in nature and less paved roads. With that mindset I looked ahead towards the stage from either...

    VdlP from Cadiz

    I've read just about all previous commentary with regard to starting the VdlP from Cadiz. Unfortunately, most comments are now starting to show 'their' age, and I was wondering if anyone in the Forum had completed the Cadiz to Santiago route in more recent times. Obviously, interested in the...

    First camino arrows installed in Badajoz, for project linking VDLP and Portugues

    The first camino arrows were placed in Badajoz yesterday as part of a project to link the Vía de la Plata with two Portuguese caminos, the Nascente and Raia. Article in Spanish: Badajoz ya forma parte del Camino de Santiago

    LIVE from the Camino Galisteo - Riomalo de Abajo

    Aside from the Via de la Plata and Via de la Estrella, there's apparently another Camino that passes parallel to the Via de Plata, but goes through the area of Las Hurdes before entering Castilla y León. The towns on the way are: Galisteo Valdeobispo Montehermoso Aceituna Santa Cruz de...

    Variant leaving A Gudina

    i will be walking the VDLP later this year. I should arrive in A Gudina about November 20th. I was looking at Gronze and trying to determine the differences between walking on the main route through Laza or walking the Variant. It is about 25k longer on the Variant. It seems like there is about...

    If you don’t want to walk 38 km from Carcaboso to Aldeanueva del Camino

    This issue came up on another thread, but I thought it deserved its own thread since it is an issue for many on the Vdlp. As you can see on Gronze, the distance from Carcaboso to Aldeanueva is 38 km, which is too long for many. The most common work-around, I think, is to walk to the Arco de...

    Slight detour after Allaríz

    The southern version of the Sanabrés is strangely neglected. I like the northern one very much, and think the section on the high ground round the Venta de Teresa after A Gudiña has some of the loveliest few hours of any camino I know. But I don't see why so few people head for Verín, which is...

    Route Advice VdlP Oliva de Plasencia

    Hi, I am currently walking the VdlP and am not sure whether to walk to Olivia de Plasencia or go to Caparra for a look then walk to Hostal Asturias. The book says that going to Oliva adds an 6km. Not sure what to do. Currently in Alcuescar. Parts of the book are a bit confusing. Thanks so much...

    Italica

    I'm planning to start out from Sevilla on Monday, February 11, 2019. Since the walk to Guillena is fairly short, there would be time to stop and see the ruins of Italica, but they are closed on Mondays. For those who've done this, is it worth waiting one extra day in Sevilla in order to pass...

    A Safer route out of Cáceres

    Note from the mods. I was looking at a general thread on highway safety and noticed that there were some posts about a safer alternative leaving Cáceres. Since this is such a dangerous section, I thought I would highlight it and make it a separate thread, so that other Vdlp pilgrims might take...

    San Gil Variant

    Has anyone recently walked this route? If so, was the way to Carcaboso clearly marked? According to the Gronze schematic the San Gil variant to Carcaboso appears to be shorter than the "regular" route. Is this true or is it wishful thinking on my part? Would love to hear from anyone who has...

    San Gil variant between Grimaldi and Carcaboso on VDLP - any experience?

    Hi all, i'm looking for some information from anyone who has recently walked the VDLP. We will be restarting our VDLP in a week or so from Cañaveral and I've been trying to look at how to break up various stages. Looking at gronze today I saw that there was a variant to take the calzada romana...

    Information on the Portuguese route from Zamora to Verin

    I am planning to walk this route in April. The CSJ guide is out of print, and searching online I haven't turned up anything except the stages on a site called "Ray y Rosa". Is anyone aware of a guide or other resource that could help along the way? Many Thanks

    Shortcut to Santa Lucía del Trampal from Aljucen to Alcuéscar

    On my first camino, I did the quite long stage from Mérida to Alcuéscar, and by the time I got to the albergue after c36km was not in the mood to make the 6km return trip out to the lovely Visigothic church of Santa Lucía del Trampal. So I was looking at wikiloc, and see that it's possible to...

    Alternative camino Sevilla - Guillena after heavy rains

    The Amigos from Sevilla have created an alternative first stage, to walk after heavy rains when the arroyo before Guillena is impossible to cross. From what I understand from the Spanish, the alternative is signposted with yellow arrows. The first stage is about 4 to 6 kilometers longer (25-27...
