I’m on the Portugese coastal now. I feel pretty fortunate with the weather. Some rain but not too bad. Had one tremendous storm day with big wind and rain walking Olveiroa to Negreira but luckily the clothes I wore stayed drier than the clothes in my pack. Here on the portugese it’s been a good...
I was very blessed to be able to walk into Santiago on Christmas morning (2023).
Via Serrana - Via de La Plata - Via Sanabria
Such an incredible Camino. Blessed and so fortunate to have the time to do this 🤗
Via Serrana Update-
El Colmenar-Cueva del Gato-Ronda-Setanil de las Bodegas-Coripe
Still enjoying this camino. Still having beautiful weather. I’ve had minor difficulties with trail markings and gps track but not to bad.
Last I wrote I was in El Colmenar for the night. Something changed...
I’ve been walking Via Serrana for three days now and after following recommended stages just arrived in El Colmenar.
The weather has been incredibly beautiful with few clouds and temps on the low twenties C or mid seventies F. Very few clouds very little wind.

It was a good way to start camino
I read about the locked gate but didn’t see it on the trail. The river crossing was wet but I had no problem keeping my feet dry
After surviving the rain in Galicia I finished Camino del Norte in Santiago last Wednesday then did the train/bus to get to Gibraltar.
Spent a couple days in Gibraltar walking the rock, drying out, and exploring the area. Loved it there. Felt free not burning Schengen days on rest days so spent...
I’m hoping to walk from Gibraltar to Seville in November. You’ve replied to my earlier question already. I’m curious if this route was well marked? You mentioned there were yellow arrows. Is it marked well enough to find the trail or did you use gps tracks?
Thank you in advance
