how important is language?
Well that filled a happy hour. In response to your request for more info I dug out my journal for my walk on the V.de l P. in 2006 and promptly got lost reading it. To answer your questions - I was on the road for 51 days Seville to Santiago (inc 1 rest day at Salamanca). My shortest day was...- Dael

how important is language?
Hi, The V.D.L.P is a wonderful walk. I have cycled/walked the Camino 5 times and have no language skills but muddled through. If you can learn to order a meal and find a bed, in Spanish, you will manage. The locals are very patient when you try to speak their language and will smile and help...- Dael

Via de la Plata on 500-700 euros?
Hi all and especially Tom, The routes to Santiago have welcomed people like us for a very long time. Given the constraints you have may I suggest that you consider taking two/three years to complete the VdlP. My reasons for saying this are as follows:- The route is superb. Why hurry? It will...- Dael

Monastery at Oseira
Hi, My info on this is from this time last year. We (4) pilgrims were allowed to stay overnight in the monesterio. Forget about the described single luxury cells or food being available. They are booked months in advance by folks on retreat. We were greeted very kindly and shown to a large...- Dael

Recommending the via de la plata
Hi, Like the others I walked the VdlP this Spring - I was in no hurry so took 51 days. I slept in albergues and hostals and only had to sleep on a floor twice. The albergues are mostly under local control and sad to say are often not well maintained. Pilgrims do not seem keen to clean up...- Dael

Via de la Plata Weather
Hi, I walked the route earlier this year, in a heatwave, and loved it. I did note in aulbergie books the very few winter pilgrims complaining of the cold conditions inside the aulbergies. One noted that he finally managed to rouse the (drunk) village mayor who brought six (6) logs to warm the...- Dael

Via de la Plata - on my own?
Hi Susan, My interest in the Camino sprung from the skeleton of a Pilgrim to Santiago which was found on a tiny island near my home. He lived in the 12th century and died when he was in his mid 20s. In my first Camino I cycled what was probably the route he followed. During that journey I...- Dael

Via de la Plata - on my own?
Via de la Plata Hi, Like you I am planning to walk the Plata in Sept/Oct 06. I love reading over guide books and dreaming of whats to come. At the moment it looks like 51 days with the longest being circa 39km and the shortest a modest 6km. I want to take my time and enjoy the experience...- Dael
