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!
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.
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.
