    VDLP guidebook

    Call me challenged, but I can't see the Melanie McManus guide at all in the resource section! Can anyone point me in the right direction.... Remotefishingvillage, we will probably meet on the road. We are starting from Mérida around the 29th of August, but will be doing mostly very short stages...

    My Stages on the Camino de Invierno

    Thank you all so much for your prompt AND informative answers! We don't have a lot of mountains around town, except for one large hill, referred to as "the mountain", elevation 230m. We walked up from the base (which is not at sea level) and around and down, and we were completely wiped out! A...

    My Stages on the Camino de Invierno

    Becoming very tempted by the invierno...does anyone know where to find an elevation map like on the eroski site? We will be *dragging* a stroller (as in pulling, not pushing) and ups and downs are more challenging that way and we would need to plan the stages accordingly.

    Railway construction between Zamora/Granja

    Haha, a translation from some one from my home province! Thanks, Canuck. I was going to say that then it probably wasn't as bad as it first looked, but then I noticed that this is from 2011, so projects have probably been planned and proposals accepted by now...

    Railway construction between Zamora/Granja

    My Spanish is fairly basic, I understand "obras", but not "obras en licitacion" or "proyecto en redaccion". Can anyone help??

    via de la plata in autumn, albergues open?

    Wow, I am impressed that you managed to carry a four-year-old and all your gear, you must have been travelling really light! We are going to be doing part of the VdlP with our two kids aged 10 months and three, but we have a stroller to push/pull the 3-year-old and luggage. Last time we did the...

    Spanish travel planning site

    Does anyone know of a general travel planner for Spain? I mean the sort of thing where you type in A to B and it tells you that bus company 1 leaves at 9:30 and takes 3 hours, bus company 2 leaves at 12 o'clock with an express service, and that you could, for example, take a train with two...

    A good starting point after Zamora for the last part of the VdlP

    Perhaps I should change the subject heading, but... After hearing so much about the construction between Zamora and Granja, I am having second thoughts about doing this part of the route. 100km on the caretera with detours is ok in a camino of 1000km, but less so if you only have time for...

    Anyone walking the VdlPat the moment who can give updates on the construction?

    A good starting point after Zamora for the last part of the VdlP

    Do you have any first hand experience with them, their website doesn't seem to list Mombuey as a destination?

    A good starting point after Zamora for the last part of the VdlP

    My husband and I (and two kids) have two weeks in which to do some of the VdlP and are looking for advice. Originally we had thought of just counting back 12 or 13 days from Santiago (to allow for rest days and/or changes in itinerary), but on closer inspection this would mean that we start...

    walking the camino with children

    We did the Camino Portuges a few years ago with our then 14 month old and it was one of the most rewarding experiences of our lives. So much so, in fact, that we are thinking of going again this fall with the two kids, who will be 3 and 12 months by then. There was one thread- I think it was...

    Luggage transport on the portuguese way

    How does it work exactly? I would imagine that the luggage arrives before a lot of hostels open and I don't see the average taxi driver running all over town to find a key.

    Walking the Camino Portugues with children!

    Perhaps the French Camino would be more practical, but Portugal has many romantic sentiments for us since we met there many years ago and have always talked about going back! We have pretty much decided on the traditional inland route, partially based on the fact that there seems to be more and...

    12 year olds on the camino...2013

    Re: Bringing a Child Question I have been following the posts here and am inspired by your journeys with the little ones. My partner, myself and our 13-month-old daughter will be doing the Camino Portugues (haven’t decided whether to do inland or coastal) in September. I have a few logistical...

    Walking the Camino Portugues with children!

    Bumping this thread up, although with a very different age group in mind! I am trying to decide whether to go Coastal vs Inland in September. The main consideration for us is that we will be travelling with our 13-month-old baby and do not foresee doing more than 15 km on average every day...
