    Ukrainian flag colors on VdlP guide markers?

    In Ireland and our Irish language, 'glas' translates to green. 😉

    Seems like I'll walk another camino (Mozarábe-VdlP-Sanabrés)

    Well done! That is very impressive. I have walked a few 40-45km but could not do it every day. Buen Camino. I hope you have another wonderful and precious camino.

    Stupid question

    You know I think the biggest question is WHY. I feel you guys expressed many of my own feelings. I don't feel like revisiting the CAMINO FRANCES again. My experience and the people I met could not be repeated. It was just so big. But back to WHY. In 2017 I set out for Finisterra on my own after...

    Stupid question

    Hi JillGat I once got annoyed by an answer to a question I posted on the forum. Initially, I felt really stupid (not my question) but I got over it. I was in the early stages of planning my Primativo and I have to say that the responses helped me to revisit my plans, for the best. Once I get to...

    Where to start: 30 days walking

    My plan all year has been VdeLP Seville to Santiago. However, time limitiations has dictated otherwise and I have had to make a choice. I have 26 walking days. At present I plan starting in Salamance in late September, Santiago first and going to complete Finisterre and Muxia. I could forget...

    Mosquitos.....

    I too am very attractive to mosquitoes. I was devoured by them on the Portugese in 2017 even though someone tried to convence me that the were not mosquiteos! I had walked in 32deg C during that particular day, dry and hot. BBZZZZZzzzzzZzzzZ all night. It was late September/early October. The...

    Where to start: 30 days walking

    Thanks for the question JillGat. This is very similar to my own predicament. I had hoped for 40 days to complete the VdlP but now have to work with 28. Andre Walker thank you for your response. Would it be too presumptuous to ask for your spreadsheet as your details for via Sanabria seem to go...

    Via de la Plata - Advice / Recommendations

    Thanks for the questions Roops and thanks for a really good practical reply hel&scott. I plan starting in Seville late September this year. Kelly 2018 seems pretty good to me as I get into it.

    Seems like I'll walk another camino (Mozarábe-VdlP-Sanabrés)

    I am planning VdlP for late September. I am hoping for some solitude also after busy caminos. I absolutely love meeting people and have been very lucky to have shared time with some of the very best. But sometimes I need uninterrupted time to process. Thanks for all the informative...

    Casa Anita Aanta Croya de Tera

    Hi Pauline Thank you also for your response. I will be setting out on my own and am just a little nervous after the more hectic experience on the Frances and Portugese, and a breathtaking experience on the Primativo. It is reassuring to hear from the VdlP. I am planning 6 weeks from Seville...

    Casa Anita Aanta Croya de Tera

    I hope to walk the Via de la Plate in the Autumn. Is it so busy right now that you have difficulty finding a bed?

    Suddenly solo on the VdlP

    My gut reaction is that you shoud do it Kate. This is for you now. I am double you age and have walked with on my own each time. But in fact you are never alone and I have had the great privilage of walking with many young pilgrims who also srtarted out on their own. Open you heart to the...
