Am doing a vlog on the Plata which I thought I'd share! Started off with three nights in Seville for the Fería de Abril (video 1), and joined by my cousin from Vancouver. Currently on Day 3.

Hi! I did indeed! It was mostly fine and usually rained at night. Chilly starts and particularly cold when the wind was coming off the Sierra Nevada! I wore leggings most days and my Arabic scarf!
Here's day one:
(the rest are on my YouTube channel. Including Granada to Córdoba in May)
Buen...
Just as an aside; I'm currently on the Mozárabe between Granada and Córdoba and have met NO pilgrims whatsoever! It's a different experience to the Francés in that I have the whole Way to myself: not worse or better, just different. I guess the Francés (which I assume is what you are talking...
¡Hola! This July I'll be singing at a concert at the Monastery of San Bernardo, Granada, raising funds for the Asociación Jacobea Almeria a Granada, for better infrastructure and services for pilgrims, having myself walked Almeria to Granada February 2023 (and Granada to Cordoba mid-May 2023!)...
I'm embarking on the Mozarabe this 6th February, Almería to Granada. Anyone doing it at this time?
I'll be using the Almería Association's hostels and am already in touch with them via WhatsApp (though it seems likely I will be completely on my own in them!)
I'm starting from Almería 7th February and going as far as Granada, then hope to do the Córdoba section in April or May. Anyone doing the Mozarabe then?
Preparing my feet for my CF June/July along the Thames footpath. A newly-unveiled Big Ben looking all shiny and new!
What mini treks are people doing to prepare, and can anyone recommend any near London (I'm contemplating a Chaucerian yomp to Canterbury in the next couple of months)?
Thanks all; I'm going to have to swallow my pride and dig out my first generation Kindle. I'm old, and I will always prefer a physical book, but I have to see sense while on the Camino, and reduce the load!:
I really want to take the Gitlitz/Davidson Cultural Handbook with me on the CF this June; but it is a big book. Has anyone taken it with them, and did it augment/expand the experience?
I'm starting from SJPDP 9th June, arriving (hopefully!) in Santiago 24th July. I'm expecting the last 100kms to be busy, and I might book ahead from Sarria onwards.
Buen Camino!
