    What's Your Favorite Socks or Combination You Have Ever Used?

    I use Injinji toe socks with Bridgedale liners over the top. I always stop every two hours to let my feet breathe and put on fresh socks.

    Weather in March and April along Via de la Plata

    If you are intending to use the Sanabres to get you into Santiago then be prepared for a little of everything at that time of year. I've walked that part twice at that time of year and experienced all four seasons.

    Is my daily average goal too ambitious?

    Veteran of 5 different routes. Don’t forget to factor in the weather. I once walked out of Burgos (in an April) all set for a long stage, one hour into the day I was experiencing large hail stones in a head-on gale. The day ended at the nearest albergue. Many who arrived after me were on the...

    Planning a Camino Mozarabe/Via del Plata walk during COVID-19

    The first section wasn't technically challenging, but the stage through the El Torcal Reserve had a very slippery and steep descent (My Day 3 Villanueva to Antequera). Overall the route was more than a little rough underfoot. I often had sore ankles and was very glad to have my walking poles...

    Planning a Camino Mozarabe/Via del Plata walk during COVID-19

    Hi Tanya, I was walking the Mozarabe/Via in 2020, just as the pandemic was kicking in. I left Malaga in mid February and made it as far as Salamanca before everything started to close down. For the first part of the camino, up to Merida, I didn't encounter many other pilgrims so competition for...

    Starting the VDLP in February 2022 and Dealing with 90-Day Visa Limit

    It’s a very simple bus journey from Malaga to Gibraltar and there are some budget hotels on the Gib side. If you do go across make sure that the border guards stamp your passport in and out, they tend to assume you are locals who don’t need a visa stamp.

    Sureste Stages?

    I'm currently planning my Spring 2022 Camino from Alicante to SdC. For the section between Minaya and La Villa de Don Fadrique there are 3 camino options: Levante, Sureste and the Santa Cruz.

    LIVE from the Camino Sanabres live

    I agree. Rionegro is a real highlight on the road. The food at Me Gusta is superb and the albergue there is one of the better ones.

    Alicante to santiago 2021

    Earlier this year I had planned to walk a Sureste/Levant combo from Alicante and then take the Sanabres into SdC. Cancelled by COVID restrictions of course, but I’m still torn between walking it this autumn, or leaving it until next spring. From an accommodation stand point, is it at all...

    Via de la Plata 2019.

    I walked the Via from Seville to SdC in April/May this year. There were numerous areas where pulling a single wheel trailer behind me would have been absolutely impossible.

    Via de la Plata 2019.

    Hi Dave, I walked the Via from Seville commencing April 2018. I timed my start for a week after the Easter celebrations had completed. It was a fabulous experience from start to finish. Never too crowded but the Sanabres became a bit of a bed race towards the end. Experienced all four...
