    Drinking water availability on the VdLP

    Hi All, I drink a LOT of water when I'm hiking. It's not unusual for me to go through 2 or more litres a day. On the Frances it used to be a bit more difficult to find water but now there are so many cafes and albergues (as well as many fountains) that I can refill as I go along. What is the...

    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...

    Stream crossings after Caparra

    Today the last stream crossing after Caparra had a central block washed away. It was downstream and the reinforcing rods were sticking up. It must have been a tremendous flow to do this. Still able to cross but the stepping stones on the missing section are not stable. Later just after the...

    Alert Sevilla to Guillena - River Crossing Flooded Today - April 29, 2017.

    Due to very heavy rain in the Sevilla area on Friday (28 April 2017), there has been quite a bit of flooding. The arroyo Molinos (the stream that needs to be forded on the way to Guillena from Sevilla) was a full blown river this morning (29 April 2017). As we were walking towards the fording...

    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...

    Guillena, build a pedestrian bridge over the arroyo!

    If you've walked the Vdlp, you may remember the Arroyo de los Molinos -- it's after Italica and before Guillena. If you're lucky it's dry enough so you can walk across. Next best, that you can shimmy across one of the big tree trunks lying across. But if the rains are heavy, like they have...

    Crossing bull enclosures?

    Hello dear fellow pilgrims. I hope to start walking the Via de la Plata from Seville in early October. In June earlier this year I completed my 2nd camino and continued on to Finisterra and Muxia. There I met some people who had walked the VdlP and it all sounded very beautiful. Except for a few...

    ConstructionHazards on the VdlP - 2013

    The amount of construction associated with the new AVE railway(s), on the VDLP around Alconetar and also the section west of Zamora are areas for potential dangers. Regular updates from passing pilgrims will help. Cheers

    flooding at arroyo de los Molinos north of Santiponce

    The camino was under water by the torre de agua about 2 hours north of Santiponce. I went in a few yards but when the water got up to my waist gave up as the thought of slipping and soaking everything in my rucksack didn't appeal. The detour was fairly horrible - I spoke to the farmer at the...
