    Food on the via la plata

    When I started in Cadîz on March 20, I never had more than 2x 0.5L of water with me. But always a Mars and jelly babies. For me 64kg it was always enough, I didn't die of thirst or starvation. But that's very individual indeed. I’m walking fast and visiting Bars if available.

    Food on the via la plata

    It’s quite simple. Use a Chrome browser and tell him to translate the website. Nowadays even Safari can do the translations for you.

    Choice of variants on Sanabres

    I did have lunch at Hostal A Taberna de Vento the day I was walking from Oseira. But didn't get a bed there it was already booked out. So I went by taxi to Lalin in a hotel and the next day walking on the Camino Inverno until the two caminos meet at A Laxe.

    Choice of variants on Sanabres

    As you may see on this picture I would think the Gronze description is good enough to find the place after crossing the railway, as there are two railway lines. The newer fast and an older one. I wouldn't travel with Gronze alone always use my iPhone with a map and a current track to find...

    Choice of variants on Sanabres

    I can recommend the variant to Oseira, I did stay at the new Albergue de peregrinos del Monasterio de Oseira. It's comfortable and it was warm. I had the possibility to take a guided tour inside the Monasterio and it was interesting. We had a good meal ($$) at the A Casiña Davos Café. Ourense to...

    Need to book in VDLP?

    I think this is the wrong camino to go without planing. Sometimes the next place to stay is quite far. I would use Gronze again to see how much distance is in between accomodations. I started march 20th at Cádiz and made the reservations for the Easter holidays, but didn't realize that the days...

    Padornelo Tunnel

    I walked from Puebla de Sanabria to Lubián April 23rd. 2023. My only rainy day out of 44 days. The hike on the road out of Puebla isn't so bad and not to long. Later there is another short part on the road before you pass under the bridge on a nice hiking trail up to Padornelo, with the...

    Oseira - Lalín?

    Hi @Luka it isn't as bad as you may think about the road walking have a look at my GPS data Oseira-Botos they tried to keep the pilgrims off the road as much as its possible. Sometime its a path just by the road and sometimes a little detour in order to keep you of the road. If you have a...

    Oseira - Lalín?

    I did use this option after 23km and all the beds at Taberna de Vento have been taken. It started to rain and I wasn’t in the mood for another four and a half kilometers.

    Dear Karin, thanks for your great daily reporting. I hope it will help me for my pilgrimage. So it means to watch out for the yellow signs even in the beautiful environment.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking the Via de la Plata with New Friends

    Dear Karin, thanks for your interesting story about your relationship with "the bitch". You are hiking with a good speed. Therefore I have my Garmin, it’s sometimes my only companion on my caminos. The faster I go it’s more talkative. Have a nice rest day and get rid of the cough. Enjoy...
