Hey... I am on Via de la Plata right now... a few days in... and it is once again absolutely wonderful!!!
My only fear is bed bugs....
all the other pilgrims have walked the Frances... and so they have bed bug horror stories. I walked the vdlp before and never had this issue (knock on wood)...
I started my Camino in Sevilla alone, but along the way met pilgrims and mostly did not walk alone. I never felt unsafe. The only issues I found were the occasional dogs... but they didn't do anything...and if you go in the spring possibly LOTS of Rain. I left Sevilla March 21 2013, the first 2...
Thanks for your informative posts... I am in Sevilla now, and starting my Camino in two days. I am very excited... and also wondering what I have gotten myself into :P

HEY!!!!
I am starting my VdLP Camino on March 21st from Sevilla. If anyone has any news/updates (closed albergues... the flooding I heard about... etc) or advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Starting to get very excited/nervous....
Buen Camino All

What an inspiring group of people on this forum :)
Thank you everyone.
I feel like these comments are just what I needed to take a step back from my pre-camino anxiety... and remember that no matter what I choose I will be making the Right Choice... and it is what I do with that choice that...
Hi,
I have been researching, dreaming, planning for a spring 2013 camino for almost a year now...
But I am starting to question whether the Frances route is the right one for me.
Why I am questioning:
1. I dislike rain (perhaps spring anywhere is rainy?)
2. I want a more solitary experience...
Thank you for sharing... very inspiring.
I wish you the best of luck in 2013 and on your future Camino.
I am very much looking forward to start mine in March.
Buen Camino.
Jenny.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and New Years. Wishing you all health, happiness and good luck in the coming year.
Warm thoughts to all from cold and snowy Canada :D

Hi.
I have seen posts on sending stuff ahead to Santiago de Compostela...
But is it possible to send a guitar case to Santiago? How long will they keep something?
I plan on taking 40-45 days from SJPdP to Santiago.
I want the guitar post-camino- hence why I want it to be available to me at the...
Hi!

I think it will be a really wonderful time to start.

Your daughter is blessed to have your love and support during this time...

I will keep you, your daughter and all that surround you in my prayers.
Jenny.
Thanks to both of you!
I just thought I would put it out there to the universe...
I have ideas/ plans/dreams... for seemingly every camino route :D
But I have yet to be certain which one I will take..
As of now, I know I will be in Europe in March, plan to walk the
Jakobsweg in Germany from...
I have seen that there is a coastal option from Porto onwards...
but is there the option of walking the coast from Lisbon to Porto?
I really love the coast of Portugal and would love to see it again by foot if possible...
with a few scheduled bus/train trips inland to see some of the places I'd...
Thanks All for the reply's!
Though I am not planning my Camino around market dates/ nor do I plan on carrying around large amounts of food bought at these markets... I do hope to experience a few at least along my Way.
And I have lots of time... I am allowing myself 6 weeks to complete the...
and how long on average does winter last?
Starting in SJPdP beginning of April next year...
Will there be snow? Does it start warming up by then (Spring?)
I don't know much about northern Spain, having been in Southern Spain in November
when it was still like summer in my opinion :)
