Hi,
I walked from Seville to Santiago in the autumn of 2015. It was my first Camino. I left Seville on Oct.13th. The weather was fine, up to 25 centigrade some days-hot enough for me. I was never alone, there were about 8 peregrinos at the same stage as I was. After Salamanca the numbers...

Hi Brendan,
I walked the Via de la Plata mid-Oct to late Nov2015.
No problem with accommodation, never booked in advance except in Seville at the start. About 10 other pilgrims on the route at the same time as me-so no crowds. Some long stages over 30 kms but doable as you get fitter as you go...
Hi,
I'm arriving in Seville on Oct. 13th, staying in Triana backpackers for a night or two and the. Heading off on Via de la Plata. Anyone doing the same around mid-Oct.? I need to get to SDC around Nov 20th. Hope this Camino has some pilgrims around this time. Its my first Camino. I am almost...
