    E bike Battery charging on the Plata

    I did the VDP on a pushbike and it was great, but tough at times. Having done the CF on an ebike since, I've no doubt that an ebike on the VDP would be camino perfection. No problem with the battery as long as you watch the level meter. Charging won't be an issue, you can charge to full in...

    E bike Battery charging on the Plata

    I did the Camino Frances on an ebike earlier this year, and had occasion to recharge the battery several times in cafes en route. I simply bought a coffee and plugged it into the wall, and the owners seemed perfectly fine with that. It only costs 25 cent to charge a 500kw battery to full, but...

    Camino App

    May I suggest doing as I do, and using gronze.com for albergues and Outdoor Active, which works offline, for Camino routes? Both free. I find PayPal difficult always.

    LIVE from the Camino How busy it is at the moment?

    I'm in Salamanca at present and it's perfect, but it looks like the usual resource issues are coming soon to a completo albergue near you. Why can't the people responsible for this get their act together at local level? Bed races are a nasty business and unless they get it sorted out they'll...

    Which of these 3 start dates would you pick?

    I did the VDP this year starting in March, and it was cold (especially at night), often wet, always wonderful. I'd strongly recommend April 9th, the perfect time in my opinion. If you start earlier it'll be tougher, by far ... But on a Camino, that's often a good thing, for the adventure, and...

    Via de la Plata in October 21

    Gerald's guide to the VDP was really good, but I feel I must comment on what he said about the German man walking the Via, as I'm also on the VDP at present, by bicycle. He hasn't necessarily broken the law by crossing into the Badajoz province; the law prohibits inessential journeys, and there...

    Via de la Plata in October 21

    Hi Nuala October should be no problem; by then vaccination should have removed most barriers to travel. I'm doing the VDP now. I flew to Malaga, took a bus to Seville and cycled to Cáceres, where I now am; some of the hostels are open, enough to make it easy to find places to stay. The VDP...
