    VDLP guidebook

    Outdoor series of books.... Sorry. Not Outlook.

    VDLP guidebook

    VdlP was my first Camino, which I finished mid June this year. I agree with Alan, the Amigos book isn't much help, but it is a good visual source. For the most I actually found the fletchas were excellent and tried to purposely only follow these during each walking day, but my other fall back...

    Is the VdlP only 989km long?

    Stripey, thanks and I am proud (at Finisterra at the moment enjoying the sunshine and the satisfaction). Good luck for September. FYI the best guide books for VdlP are the German Outlook series, so find a German buddy if you can. It is a fantastic walk - all 1000 plus kms! Buen Camino!

    Is the VdlP only 989km long?

    Struggling to understand how having a certificate with ones name, start place, Camino name, date, and the number of kms on it makes it into anything competitive, especially given that Rule 1 is you walk your own Camino, but do agree that if the distance is apparently so subjective, then maybe...

    Is the VdlP only 989km long?

    I proudly finished my first Camino from Seville to S-C yesterday, queued up at the office to get my Compostella and chose to pay an extra EUR 3, for the 'destination' certificate which states where you start and how many kilometres you walked. Somewhat agog, feeling denied, and contrary to the...

    LIVE from the Camino Biking the Vdlp

    This is my first Camino and I chose the VdlP because I am totally intrigued with Andalusian and Southern Spanish history, as well as l like nice weather and spring flowers, and initially walking each day on flat land was preferable to the rain and hills I had read about on the C. F. On arriving...

    For those starting from Sevilla

    Geoff, Angela, I am arriving tomorrow ( in Cordoba today). After reading the thread on recent robberies on the first leg of VdlP, I hope you both and I as well as anyone else we can muster, can do the first few days together. Sounds like safety in numbers is the best way to upset or put off...

    Virgin camino walker

    Buen camino David, I will be putting my best foot forward out of the door of Triana on 7th or 8th May. Can't wait. Like a true pilgrim of old, I am slowly getting all my bits and pieces in order, leaving my job and packing up my house etc. When people ask what i will be doing next, it is a joy...

    Info for peregrinos over the age of 60

    Jamilla's mum, although I am not yet in that age bracket, but I just want to say thanks to you and others for the investigation and valuable informative advice. Sometimes I despair at the queries on the forum (mainly on the C. Frances sites). I should probably not be so cynical, but sometimes a...

    Will there be 'Room at the Inn" in May/June 2014?

    Geoff, Angela, That Fair in Seville, starting 06 May looks like a fun way to start off the VdlP. I am easy with a start date, and a bit of Andalucian culture would be a great starter. I have both a light sleeping bag and a silk liner, and will make a call before I leave NZ, based on the weather...

    Will there be 'Room at the Inn" in May/June 2014?

    Laurie, thanks for your valuable response. I have been reading many of the comments on the forum and am very excited about the walk. I have a print out of Jirits hot tips, and am sure fellow peregrinos/as will have lots of advice. I will be at Trianan Backpackers on 06 May, and ready to stride...

    Will there be 'Room at the Inn" in May/June 2014?

    I am planning to start my camino from Seville in early May. I am concerned that there may not be enough beds in some of the obvious towns to stop at. Has anyone had this issue on Via de la Plata? Should I book ahead each day? Any wise advice is welcome.
