    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Great museum! Very near to it is a national archive about the Spanish Civil War. Worth a visit.

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    Maybe I was sleepwalking? 😂

    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Hope you made it to Oseira safely and in descent health. I've stayed in the old albergue twice taking the tour in the afternoon but I hear that the albergue is much improved since the renovations. Ultreia.

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    My knees did fine too. I actually jogged down. I won't be doing that in the future.

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    Yeah but that was a serious downhill, one I've not forgotten. Switchbacks is indeed the way to go if the path or road is wide enough. I remember doing that during the downhill to the reservoir on the Primitivo. It just goes on and on! Who knows, I may have the same experience as you both this...

    Sanabres- Downhill to Ponte Ulla!

    That's interesting. Last summer I walked this stage and I don't even remember a downhill. Or it can be that after having walked both the Olvidado and the Invierno that I was just focused on arriving in Santiago.

    LIVE from the Camino Luka on the Sanabrés

    Buen Camino Luka! Look forward to hearing about your walk. I'll be back on the Plata/Sanabrés at the end of June after 10 years! It will be interesting to see if there have been any changes.

    3 languages on VdlP stone pillars

    Ladino also came to my mind but I just read that it's Hebrew.

    Where to get stamp booklet in seville

    This where I've also gotten mine. I've stayed there twice, right off the Camino route in...Triana😉

    Bed race on the VDLP…

    But as I said there is a donativo in Salamanca. The first night you could stay there and the second night in the other place. If you're taking the Sanabrés there is also a great donativo in Tábara.

    Bed race on the VDLP…

    I've walked the Plata twice and parts a third time and although I never had an issue finding a bed (July and February) I did hear that April is or at least was the busiest month in the year as most northern Europeans prefer walking in cooler temperatures. I hope that you have now gotten out of...

    Lost & Found LOST (Now found!) PACER POLES BEFORE CEA

    That's a b*tch! In 2014 I left my poles in a hostal in Cordoba and realized it about an hour into my walk. I immediately turned around and they were waiting for me against the wall near the front door. Mine were cheap Decathlon poles but since my first Camino I can't do without. I sure hope...

    LIVE from the Camino Fuente de Cantos accommodation

    Just curious, does this mean that the small basic municipal albergue is no longer in function? Stayed there twice so am curious.

    Oseira Monestery

    That was my experience too, albeit years ago in the old albergue. I'm really curious to hear about the renovations since I've stayed in the very damp, rustic albergue twice. Still glad I did although the second time was the day of the train accident on its way to Santiago for the July 25th...

    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    If you like the heat then you shouldn't have a problem. I've walked it in July, continuing on through Orense (the Sanabrés) and there were definitely pilgrims on the stretch from Salamanca to Santiago.

    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    Definitely agree here. The Plata was actually my second Camino although I split it in two (Sevilla-Zamora, Zamora-Muxía). Given that there were 5 starting out in Sevilla, it was much "busier" than my Levante, Lana, Mozárabe and Olvidado! Back in 2011, with the help of statistics from the...

    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    Can't agree more! I've stayed in the muni in Zamora four times (2x ending and restarting the Plata there, 1x ending the Levante and 1x on route to Santiago during my second Plata). When I arrived after the Levante one of the Spanish hospitaleras asked if I could stay a few days to help out...

    Starting in May on VDLP

    Hi Elke, Half May is not summer and in fact in the past, May was the busiest month on the Plata so you won't be alone. Everyone is different but I have walked from Sevilla mid June and even leaving in July and although very warm to hot I personally was fine. I did carry 3 liters of water and...

    Accommodation Options Between Caceres and Salamanca

    My reaction was the same! I slept in the muni in Casar de Cáceres twice and since free - yes free, there was not even a donativo box! - I didn't feel I had a right to complain. Both times walking the Plata my stage was Casar de Cáceres to Cañaveral. In 2011 there was also a muni "albergue" in...
