    Via de la Plata starting late March 2018

    I walked the VdlP in 2017 from Sevilla to Santiago via Sanabres. In Sevilla I stayed at Triana Backpackers Hostel (http://www.trianahostel.com/en/contact-hostel-triana-seville) Very friendly and comfortable and very close to the Camino. I started in late April to avoid Semana Santa. I watched...

    Besancon to Vercelli - remembrance of times past

    Many thanks, Bob! This helps tremendously since I now see these trail conditions relative to what I have done before. While I see the challenges they are not quite as bad as I had imagined given the guide book descriptions.

    Besancon to Vercelli - remembrance of times past

    Hi Bob, Thanks for posting your experiences on the VF. I am in early stages of planning a pilgrimage to Rome from near Lausanne. I am particularly interested in your experiences in the tricky bit near Martigny and your 20 geotagged photos to Picasa. The link to your geotag photos is dead. Can...

    Besancon to Vercelli - remembrance of times past

    Hi Bob, Thanks for telling your story. I am particularly interested in your geotagged photos to Picasa on that tricky part of the trail, but the link is dead. Is there a way to correct or re-post these photos? I am in the early stages of planning a VF pilgrimage to Rome starting near Lausanne as...

    Post restante in Spain?

    Can you Lista de Correos to any Post Office in Spain or just certain ones? For instance, from the Post Office listed on Spanish Correos site given earlier in the thread, the closest one to the Santiago Cathedral is: RUA DO FRANCO 4 15702 SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA (A Coruña) Would this still be a...

    LIVE from the Camino (Nearly) Live Updates Via de la Plata February > Abril 2016

    Wonderful to hear of safe arrival in Santiago, particularly after the dodgy start with the tendinitis! Thank you very much for very informative, concise information given with good humour. This will be very valuable to me when I start from Sevilla on 21 April.

    LIVE from the Camino (Nearly) Live Updates Via de la Plata February > Abril 2016

    Thank you all for the marvelous information being posted her, particularly SYates. My question regards the current information on robberies from Pilgrims outside Guillena. There are threads from April 2015 and 2013. So I was wondering the current situation.

    WARNING. simcardspain.es

    Not only does your phone need to be unlocked (as already discussed here) but it needs to have a GSM radio in it since that is what is used in Spain for cell phones. Not all US carriers use GSM, some use CDMA. Some phones have both radio capabilities. So check what your phone has.

    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    IMPORTANT: Advice for pilgrims setting off APRIL 2013

    I am no expert, but the Route Napoleon pass at Lepoeder is at just over 1400 meters, so the snow level at 2000 meters is above this. So this should mean that it is rain at the pass and not snow.

    CPAP on the Camino

    Hello, It just checked the Transcend II specs. I don't believe that 0.9 lb weight includes the separate power pack which is also needed. In looking around for a solution last year I settled on the ZZZPap which plugs directly into the wall with no need for a separate power pack. It's weight is...
