    Castilblanco to Almaden (that stage from hell again)

    If you have a day in Seville before starting your Camino it’s easy to catch the 170A bus from the main station to Italica and they return every half hour throughout the day. The site opens at 9:00, 10:00 on Sundays, and is closed on Mondays. When I visited in February there was a free guided...

    Castilblanco de los Arroyos to Almadén de la Plata. aka. the stage from hell.

    I really hope they are successful as it is a very long stretch with the added bonus of a steep hill right at the end. For those who do not want to walk the road section there is a man in the village who will take you to the park entrance for €25.

    Stream crossing between Fuente de Cantos and Zafra

    It was an easy crossing yesterday of the stream between Fuente and Zafra. The bridge is in good condition so no wet feet!

    Starting in seville early February

    I’m in Seville now and will be starting tomorrow. It’s bright and sunny here but the mornings are cold and will be even more so further inland. Make sure you have some warm layers! If you want to have the cathedral stamp your credenciale you can bypass the line for individual entry (south...

    Starting in seville early February

    Hi Amelia, I’m limited on time and will need to start on the 3rd so it looks like we will just miss each other by a day or two, but hopefully there will be a few others starting in early February to join you. If I come across any flooded arroyos that might require rerouting I’ll let you know...

    Starting in seville early February

    I’ll be starting from Seville on February 3 and would be happy to have some company to walk with on the first couple of stages as well. Are you still planning to start on the 8th or 9th? Anyone else starting in early February?

    VDLP June

    I’m starting at the beginning of February from Seville, and plan to walk as far as Merida this time. The temperatures are looking good, obviously not hot yet, around 20 degrees but the mornings will be cold to start. I have a question to those who have walked the VdlP in winter: Would you...

    Coffee first thing in the morning

    If you decide to go down the coil, cup, and tea or coffee route these little individually wrapped instant coffee packets from Nespresso are quite good and are available in French supermarkets and most likely in Spain as well. They weigh 3 grams each in a box of 25, make a decent cup of instant...

    Umbrella addict - advice needed!

    Umbrellas are great for heat or downpours and Euroschirm make a very good product, but they are pricy. I wanted a lightweight hands free set up so I bought a Light Trek folding model, which at 260 grams (about 9 ounces) is considerably lighter than their Handsfree model. Combined with a...
