    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    Good choices. You'll love the Invierno!

    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    I'm glad I walked it last spring, but wouldn't do it again. I didn't mind the solitude, but the long - some days over 30k - without ANYTHING, even water - or any place to stop or sit weren't enjoyable. I like the small villages, cafe con leche and second breakfast!

    Scenic 100km on southern part of Via de la plata?

    I would definitely not recommend starting in Sevilla. The stages are long and not particularly scenic. Start from Mérida or Salamanca.

    Via de la Plata in April?

    I walked this year starting in Sevilla April 19. The first couple of weeks were HOT, then it got cold and windy. The terrain isn't difficult by and large, but the stages are long without stops for water or food and no way to make them shorter.

    Albergue closure Almadén de la Plata

    Find the mayor and beg. Also beware in Fuente de Cantos. All full today. Gerald Kelly says the albergue in the next town is open. 15 of us bused ahead to Zafra to find something.

    Albergue closure Almadén de la Plata

    Be sure to ask. I was there yesterday. My friends got them to reopen the albergue and even turn on the hot water!
