    Cycling the Via de la Plata in September .....if possible .

    Hi, 5'c is cold whether walking or cycling any Camino I've had snow and hail, Stopped for the day ,and night in October 2020,at Foncebadón . I had only cycled from Rabanal del Camino. However a white out while cycling is no fun! Had planned to cycle to Ponferrada. Buen Camino.

    Cycling the Via de la Plata in September .....if possible .

    Hi Marie, I have now done it both ways, and both are great, first time I went to Finisterre first, and last May after walking the Primotivo I finished in Finisterre. Like Raggy says that' a steep hill coming into Cee, but so good to finally see the sea at Cee ! Enjoy Bill.

    Cycling the Via de la Plata in September .....if possible .

    Sounds like a plan,when I did the same Camino,I had six weeks between my flights,worked out quite well. I had never heard of Muxia until half along,being told it was the furthest West. Been twice,worth the walk.

    Cycling the Via de la Plata in September .....if possible .

    Decathlon have some pretty good bikes, that was an option of mine at one point, either buying a decathlon bike here, and cycling down happy in the knowledge that there would be plenty of decathlon shops to service or repair anything. Or buying one in Decathlon Lisbon, or Malaga, but I managed to...

    Any news on the ferries opening? I'm looking at cycling your route in reverse,cycling from Ayrshire in Scotland first, I'm guessing it's a good route to cycle as you've done it once or twice! Bill

    Via de la Plata - Pilgrim numbers in decline / flatlining

    Thanks Espee , I think it's probably a camino I will do , but maybe in shorter stages, the tendon issues , are from over use, we weren't designed to walk for days on end ,on unforgiving surfaces, if the road goes up and down a bit , that helps too. Lots of planning to do, :) Bill

    Via de la Plata - Pilgrim numbers in decline / flatlining

    Thanks, like everyone, or maybe most people, the more tarmac ,there is , and I start to question why I'm even doing this camino, and my tendons definitely don't like it, Will start looking into flights to Sevilla, from Scotland, thinking early November or late October would a good time to...
