Hi I am looking for my next Camino and like the look of this one starting in Seville. I am a solitary individual and comfortable with my own company. My last one was the camino Madrid which was very peaceful. My question is how many walk this route and would I be able to find my own space?
Hi All,
I'm committed to start the VDLP on12th or 13th of May.I will be arriving in Seville on the 10th and taking a couple of days of rest and sight seeing, which I will sorely need after flying direct from New Zealand. I'm a bit worried that I left my starting date a bit late in the year...
I’ve read in a few places that the typical pilgrim on the VDLP is an older European man. Not everyone of course, but this would be the largest demographic. Just wondering if that’s still the case or does it attract a broader demographic in 2024. For anyone that’s walked it in the past couple...
Hi currently on the vdlp and thought following might be useful to others. I’m only on day 3 so will try to update from time to time.
Have stopped in Guillena, Castilblanco de los Arroyos and Almaden de la plata. Mix of private and municipal albergues all been good. Obviously open now. There are...
Has anybody walked this route at this time of the year (last week in February 1st 2 weeks in March)?. If so are there albergues open and are the conditions OK?
Thanks
I booked a bed in an albergue in the old part of Seville, without giving it much thought, because I always tend to stay in the old part of a city. However I'm wondering if I maybe should have booked a place in Triana? I know nothing about Seville, so this might be a dumb question.
I'll be in...
Hi everyone,
I would like to have more information of Camino starting from Seville, Spain
Do you think that it’s feasible ? Please send me the link or any website so I can research and planning for my second camino in May 2024.
Thank you very much and God bless 🙏🏻
Hi pilgrims !
I am considering walking the Via de la Plata from Sevilla the last week of february to the end of march.
Any of you can tell me what type of weather did you experience at this time of the year there ?
I read the great report written by Karin309 but that was in january/february...
For anyone familiar with how busy the VdlP gets post-covid, when beginning in mid-late September from Seville, do you think there's any need to prebook accommodation for the first few nights, as pilgrims frequently do on the CF?
I'm very unfamiliar with the VdlP, particularly the southern part...
I'm leaving next week for Madrid. Planning to walk the Camino Sanabres starting in Zamora. I'm beginning to wonder if it might be an option to stay on the VdLP, instead of the Sanabres, and walking the Frances to Santiago. I'm hoping for a balance between the amount of people, and the services...
I walked the 2nd half of the Vía in May / June, starting again from Zamora where I left off in February. Before going to Zamora I made a quick detour to Plasencia to walk the Vía Verde. I wanted to walk it to see what it was like and to be able to accurately describe it in the guide.
Things got...
With the municipal albergue at Castro Dozon now closed can anyone help me plan to move from Cea. If I go to Oseira it is only 8 kilometers but to go to Alaxe it becomes 33kilometers from Cea. Does anybody have ideas on accommodation after Cea?
I was putting together brochure style information about the most popular Camino trails that people are walking to/from Santiago. I will be starting Camino Norte in 2 weeks, so the amount of research I have done makes me quite confident in knowing more or less what is ahead of me for that trail...
I shall be walking on the VdlP for the third time this year, in a very different way from my previous walks. My first walk: from Seville to Santiago in the autumn, was straight through with no days off, little time to rush through the major cities, and no off-route adventures to visit...
Hola! I´m planning for my third camino. This time from Sevilla all the way to Santiago (hopefully). I plan to start September 23 and hope it will not be too hot. Would be interesting to hear from you who have walked Via del la Plata before and also from you who plan to start this fall.
Best...
Hola from the Via de la Plata. Currently having a well deserved rest in Albergue La Casa del Raloj in Alamaden de la Plata. Great walk today through the national park but the big hill at the end was a challenge. Still, every day on the Camino is a good day. Have seen around 20 - 30 other...
Sanabres 2021-2023
Hello all,
Tomorrow my son and I will return to the scene of the crime and finish up our Camino de Sanabres that we started during Semana Santa of 2021. I thought I would reminisce about our first two days and our decision to abandon the Camino two years ago.
We live in A...
I'll be walking the VdlP for the first time in a couple of weeks. Starting in Sevilla, hoping to make it to Cañaveral. Do you have any tips for me? Places to see, pilgrim's mass, albergues to stay in, history of the route... etc. I'd appreciate any comments you can leave! Robin
