    Hello, First time posting but as Google hasn't been helpful I was hoping others here might be able to help with an odd query.

    Cycling stages on VdlP: How to Make the Most of Your Journey

    Cycling VdlP: prevailing winds?

    A quick question for all the VdlP experts on here: my wife and I plan to cycle the VdlP, leaving Seville mid September 2018. Is there a prevailing wind direction?

    LIVE from the Camino Biking the Vdlp

    So, right now we're chilling in Cáceres, day four of our tour. We are looking forward to a day's rest due to my friend's knee probs. We started in Sevilla on tuesday and wanted to go all the way to Almadén. The heat though made it impossible for us, I was building snowmen only three weeks ago...
