    LIVE from the Camino Conditions on Via de la Plata

    Starting in May on VDLP

    Thanks Gerald. The map is really helpful. I will have to put in a few really long days but it should be ok if the weather is reasonable. At least there are no steep climbs like the Del Norte and Primitivo.

    Starting in May on VDLP

    I am starting on the VDLP on April 12th. From what I see online temperatures should be in the mid 20's but of course temps are rising each year. I am an experienced older walker and have completed the other big caminos straight in recent years except for the Del Norte which I did half and half...

    For Sale/Wanted For sale Altus in USA

    I am interested to hear that. I am thinking of ordering but I see it is 2000mm waterproof which when I look it up is not a high spec. My current one is 10000mm. Maybe there is some other aspect to this. Someone knowledgeable on this might comment.

    Advice,,, Madrid Airport to Madrid Train Station

    Thanks to all for replies. I can see that even with Aer Lingus, it might work and it might not so to avoid stress, I have decided to travel a day early. My plan is to attend Mass in Oviedo Cathedral to see the Sudario de Oviedo. So I will travel on 14th and start walking on 16th.

    Advice,,, Madrid Airport to Madrid Train Station

    I will arrive Madrid Airport (Adolfo Suarez) on Sept 15th at 10am from Dublin. There is a train to Oviedo from Chamartin at 11.10am. Would I have sufficient time to get from airport to station to get this train assuming no flight delays. Thanks. John

    Walking the Primitivo in September

    I hope to start the Primitivo from Oviedo on Sept 15th flying Dublin to Madrid on 14th. I have done the full Camino Frances and Portuguese. Are there likely to be many on the Primitivo at that time?. I am happy to walk alone but given the nature of the terrain and to avoid getting lost, I would...

    Catholic albergues and spots

    I think that this year it will be on display each day between 14th and 21st. I would like to see it on the 15th before starting the Primitivo. Presumably it is displayed during Mass. I would like to know at what time of the day..not clear to me from Cathedral website, (not having Spanish)

    Camino Portuges Central from Lisbon

    I did the same on the Camino Frances. There was always either a machine or a sink for hand washing in the albergues... this Camino will be different. I will bring some more basic clothing items just in case
