    Starting from a place not on the route

    Yes it is about the VdlP. Although it is a story and not a guidebook it does have some history, legends and descriptions of the route. You could check it out on amazon 'Tortoises on the Via de la Plata, look inside, read what is there and let me know if you would like a copy. Best Jackie

    On vdlp for only 5days and the skin peeling off, unlucky

    Cinnamon is food, not medicine in the traditional sense and ever since I was diagnosed in 2008, I have never had to take a tablet or any medication whatever despite weighing around 240 pounds.

    On vdlp for only 5days and the skin peeling off, unlucky

    When you've fixed your blisters try vaseline for your feet and cinnamon powder, called canela and available in most restaurants free if you ask. Try to take one tsp a day to keep sugar low. Also give up coffee. caffeine is bad for diabetes. drink plenty of water

    Am I crazy to think about walking the Via de la Plata in July-Aug?

    Here is the extract from my book regarding eating salt. It is the route from Monasterio to Fuente de Cantos: "Where’ve you been?” said Alan. “Huh,” I said. “You were miles away.” “Oh. Yeah. I was just thinking.” “About?” “Nothing.” “OK don’t tell me,” he said. “Sun’s up. It looks like...

    Am I crazy to think about walking the Via de la Plata in July-Aug?

    We walked from Sevilla to Santiago starting on July 21 2011. I have written a book on our walk called Tortoises on the Via de la Plata. I weighed 17stones, I did no training and I was only used to walking 3-5 miles a couple of times a week. It is hot and it is lonely. But you will only need one...

    Via De La Plata de Portugal

    Hi Andy Go from Zamora to La Hiniesta rather than Roales de Pan. You can pick up the Portuguese Camino just outside La Hiniesta. Be sure to stop there to have a look at the beautiful gothic facade of the church. Here is the extract from my book, 'Tortoises on the Via de la Plata' re Zamora to...

    Starting from a place not on the route

    Hola Jim You could try the town hall or a shop or a cafe/bar/restaurant as a business stamp will do. Would you like a free PDF of my book to take with you?

    Sevilla here I come!

    Hi there I am a first timer arriving in Sevilla on 19th July to start on 20th July and I'm worried that you have not posted recently. Did you fry? If not can you please document your travels for me? In particular I need to know if there is a bus/taxi between Castillblanco de los Arroyos and...
