    Planning - Average Temperatures on the VDLP

    Here is a hyperlink to a Google Drive folder. It contains a series of html files (web pages) that I created that show the average temperatures for every stage on the Camino with a start date for each month. I used the stages detailed in gronze.com. I excerpted the weather charts from...

    What did you love best about walking la Plata?

    I feel drawn to walking La Plata next time I'm able to do a Camino. I've heard from some people that they found it boring, grueling, ran into logistics re. finding water, places to stay, etc. But I've heard from others that it was their favorite Camino. I want to hear what you loved about it...

    Virtual (and very detailed) plan to walk the VdlP and Sanabrés (planning while in confinement)

    This year we were going to walk from Lisbon to SdC, after a few shorter walks in France and a week volunteering at SJPdP. As a result of Covid-19, we are now confined in Melbourne, Australia, and I have been keeping the dream alive by planning 2021 and 2022 (when I am not running after a...

    Detailed planning for the Camino Sanabres, March-April 2020

    Before COVID-19, etc., my 2020 plan was to walk the Camino Sanabres in the Spring. I haven't done this route before, although I did walk from Seville to Astorga in 2017. I have my spreadsheet ready, with distances, villages, optional stages, and a few notes. I have the Gerald Kelly 2020 guide...

    Day by day video of Seville to Salamanca

    Just as a point of information, I finished posting videos which show the day by day walk along the VDLP from Seville to Salamanca. These are not intended to be entertaining videos or "blogs" of my walk or to convey any particular point of view or experience. They are intended to show you the...

    How/why is VdlP difficult?

    I've walked the CF twice, averaging 20K a day. A couple of times I walked 30, but I didn't enjoy it... I have some mechanical problems in my foot that start to act up at repeated, very long distances. But I want to walk La Plata. People here use words like "challenging," "arduous," even...

    How Camino via de la Plata is different from Camino Frances.

    This is one peregrino’s perspective so admittedly biased but I also talked with many other VDLP peregrino's to confirm these points. -------- 1. LONGER: Via de la Plata (VDLP) is 1000 kilometers vs. 790 kilometers on Camino Frances. 2. LESS INFRASTRUCTURE: Fairly often you have to walk...

    Swimming on the Via De La Plata

    Anyone who has walked with me knows I love swimming. Normally my verging on obsessive search for pools and swimming spots starts fairly early on each day, with enquiries made to farmers, bar owners, hospitaleros and even on occasion the police. I am walking the Via De La Plata April into...

    Public transport along the Camino Sanabrés

    The aim of this thread (opened at request of @SabineP ) is to make a list of public transport options (other than taxi) along the Camino Sanabrés. The Camino Sanabrés goes from Granja de Moreruela to Santiago de Compostela. I've divided it in three sections (Granja de Moreruela-A Gudiña; A...

    Alan´s Winter Vdlp -- 2012

    Heading steadily northwards on the VdlP, now having a rest day in Merida, a week and a day out from Seville. Only one morning of drizzle, between Almaden and El Real de la Jara, so can't complain, especially as England seems to be largely under water judging from a brief item on the TVE...

    My stages on the Vdlp

    I thought I'd post my stages and the approximate kms so others could get a basis for comparison when trying to figure out how long they should plan for the Vdlp. My walk had a lot of short days, and 3 rest days, so it was a pretty leisurely pace. In retrospect, I could have shaved 4 or 5 days...
