    90 days to go and feeling nervous

    I’m starting from Seville 25 March - Although I’ve walked the northern caminos I too am undecided on some equipment choices. I usually take my 33l pack at a max 5 kg fully packed. This time I’ll fit a 1.5 litre bladder which I never bother with on northern caminos (since there are cafes and...

    VdLP Spring Walkers' Calendar

    The VdlP has been on my to do list for a while. Planning to run/walk the Frances starting mid March but if I pick up a running niggle/injury (runners` curse) I will head to Seville instead for a walk. 50% chance of a VdlP start on Wed 20th March.

    Credencial on Via de la Plata

    Starting in seville early February

    If all goes to plan I may be able to grab a cheap flight and get on the VDLP mid - late Feb. Any updates on the weather, water obstacles and albergue closures/opening would be greatly appreciated. Still not sure what mixture of clothing layers to take. Got caught out a bit on the Frances in...

    VDLP - How it differs from Francés- Starting Jan 15

    If it is really wet with claggy mud it could get a bit tough and slow going with a bike? Would be easy peasy in dryer months though.

    VDLP - How it differs from Francés- Starting Jan 15

    I'm headed for Seville sometime towards the end of February or early March! Don't plan on taking any guide books (a bad habit from more trod routes maybe? ). Will go Seville - Astorga - Leon then caminos Salvador and Primitivo just to add a dog-leg or two...in the camino veteran style of "not"...

    Via de la Plata or del Norte early March

    I too may finally be headed for Seville in March 2018! A late March start on the CF in 2017 yielded great hiking weather, so I'm hopeful starting farther south earlier in the year will work out fine, reaching SdC late April.

    Anyone Starting vdlp end of Sept from Zamora.

    I may be on the VdlP later in Sept. Starting point depends on time I can make available.

    Early September weather on the Via de la Plata?

    I'm from Finland. Too cold in minus 35 degrees centigrade. So what's too hot?

    Credencial Rules

    I used my SJpdP credencial for the whole camino to Finisterre 2015, then still had space to continue using the same one Leon to Finisterre 2016 and even Logrono, Leon, Oviedo 2017 (using spare blank sheets inside). I finally got a new on in Asturuas (at Bodeneye on the Primitivo this spring). I...
