    How many days to walk the Via de la Plata?

    Interesting. I walked the Camino Frances last year in 30 days, average 25 km/day. This year I plan to walk VdlP, starting on September 1. I am planning for 40 days, including some restdays. My concern is the weather. Is it going to be too hot? Perhaps I have to start early in the morning. I...

    Orisson: To stop or not to stop?

    On my first Camino I stayed over at Orisson. It was a very positive experience with a dinner where everybody stood up an presented oneself and the reason for walking the Camino. The next walk to Roncesvalles was not so hard. Regards Tom

    Class of 2014

    I am planning my third Camino, starting in September from Sevilla. I walked Camino Frances in the fall of 2011 and the second one in the spring of 2013. This time, Via del la Plata will be a challenge with fewer albergues and longer daily walks. I know it can be really hot there, but I hope it...

    First Camino Panic attack

    I am little nervous too even though I will start my 3rd Camino in two weeks. Am I fit enough? Will it rain a lot? Will my equipment be OK? Last time I walked (Sep-Oct 2011), I did not have a single day of rain. Nervous but very excited.

    How to train for the Camino?

    Last time I used Sportslick and was very satisfied with that. I didn't get any blisters in 34 days of walking. Sure the socks get a little bit messy, but since you wash the socks every day I don't think it matter so much. Hate to change a winning concept.

    What is the one albergue you would avoid?

    Last year I stayed in Albergue Ave Fenix in Villafranca del Bierzo. I usually start very early. This morning I wanted to get started 06:30, but I couldn't get out. I tried all doors, but I was completly loocked in. The doors were opened at 07:00. Considering that this Albergue has had a fire...
