    LIVE from the Camino After Olleros de Tera

    The trail itself was okay, but because of the mud I couldn't enjoy the walk at all. I constantly had to pay attention so I wouldn't slip and hurt myself. I imagine once the season really starts up and it dries up it will be pretty, but currently with the river flooding parts of it and having to...

    LIVE from the Camino After Olleros de Tera

    After Olleros de Tera at one point you will come to a crossing where there are two arrows. One pointing to the road and one pointing straight on into the greenery. If you have the Via de la Plata Guide app then the camino route will show as the one that goes off into the greenery and on the road...

    Salamanca credencial

    I got my credencial in Salamanca and it is the same as what is sold here on the forum and also what I got in Seville. I didn't get it at the catedral tho. Where did you get yours?

    Bus info Salamanca to Zamora

    Rode the bus not long ago from El Cubo to Zamora, the bus is flexible (the Spanish way) so don't get discouraged if it is a few minutes late (but also be there a good 10 minutes before it is scheduled to leave just to be sure). You can buy the ticket on the bus. When in Zamora, get off at the...

    Demographic of VDLP pilgrim in recent years

    Thanks, I already have a guide I am comfortable with and I am all prepared. I was just joking coz apparently I will be ruining the gender statistics of this camino (as well as the age I guess) Edit: In fact, I think it is your app I have.

    Starting from Sevilla on the 21st March 2024

    This is really good information, thank you! I will make a note to remember to call ahead to check if they will be open and also I well mentally prepare myself for trying to find alternate accommodation haha Fortunately it's a short day so I will have ample amount of time

    Starting from Sevilla on the 21st March 2024

    Good to know, thank you! My fear was that i heard a lot of people use SS for doing a bit of the camino, but I kinda assumed as it will be towards the end (Saturday before Easter) that I arrive in Merida that I should be fine. Thanks for the reassurance!

    Starting from Sevilla on the 21st March 2024

    I know probably starting just before Semana Santa is not the best choice, but I figured I will be in smaller towns for most of the SS and only arrive in Merida on the Saturday before Easter so I am kind of safe. Is anyone else leaving around that time? I am getting excited about my trip...

    Need to book in VDLP?

    Sorry, I meant for the whole VDLP or Semana Santa. I didn't phrase it well Makes sense, I will definitely look out for Semana Santa, I have already googled when it is and I decided to adjust my starting date because of it ^^"

    Need to book in VDLP?

    Thank you! I am checking viadelaplataguide for closures so hopefully I will be well prepared. I will also check the forum when it comes to time to leave. Thanks again :)

    Need to book in VDLP?

    I understand that and believe me I am planning. However, at least on the Frances, when I booked ahead people were expecting me to get there by a certain time (usually 3-5 pm). If I am walking 30+ kms that day (which I have seen happens many times on this camino) then I want the liberty to get...

    Need to book in VDLP?

    That is very reassuring! Thank you very much for your reply. I am happy to hear that the VDLP is still not crazy. I think looking at the comments, I will plan a bit ahead for Semana Santa but otherwise let myself walk as much as I want (as long as I end up in a bed at the end). Thanks!

    Need to book in VDLP?

    You mean for the Semana Santa or for the whole thing?

    Need to book in VDLP?

    Thank you for your reply! I have done the Frances ones during Semana Santa and my experience was that I only had to book in Leon. Hopefully the VDLP will be the same. But thank you for pointing it out to me, I didn't think about it at all. I will have to adjust my starting date to be in the...

    Need to book in VDLP?

    I have walked different caminos quite a few times, but this is my first time walking the Plata (planning on starting in March 2024) and also walking post covid. I have heard from a lot of people that you cannot even function on the Frances anymore without booking ahead which saddened me a lot...
