    Starting your Camino from Sevilla: Tips on Avoiding Urban Walks

    The traditional start after leaving Triana takes you through Camas and Santiponce. Personally I find them fascinating but there is an alternative path once you cross the pedestrian bridge below the Caixa tower which takes you along the river bank and is much more rural. If you want to skip it...

    You mean Triana, no?

    Who Knows - hotel near Cathedral in Sevilla?

    Can't get closer to the Cathedral than Cathedral Boutique in Avenida de La Constitucion. We stayed there 4 years ago and it was better than basic and really good value for money. Buen Camino. Remember 5th and 6th January are public holidays.

    Sevilla during Semana Santa - To Avoid or Not?

    Your reactions 1, 2 and 3 are completely correct added to this is the fact that accommodation prices double for this period and so ipso facto reaction 4 is spot-on too. I live in a small village 100km northwest of Seville. My suggestion would be to start a week earlier if possible, it means that...

    Thoughts on starting Via de la Plata in May

    Seville is such a beautiful city that it would be too sad not to enjoy it. Remember that you will be walking from South to North - you will be walking towards the cooler area. You can also plan your days by starting at sunrise and most days will see you done by 13:00.

    My Experience Walking the Via De La Plata during Covid-19

    I have the great good fortune to live 100 km north west of Seville and I really love the city. When Covid scuppered my 2020 plans to walk the VdlP I was very disappointed. I have always been rather perplexed by the majority of peregrinos' negative comments about the first day walk out of Seville...

    Via de la Plata Oct 2022

    Great to hear from you. I would DEFINITELY make reservations. My understanding is that there are virtually no albergues open south of Merida. The VDLP winds through some pretty sparsely populated zones so just happening upon somewhere to stay cannot be relied upon. I seem to remember about 3...

    Albergues yet open on the Via de la Plata/Camino Sanabrés

    Hi there. I live in Andalucia not far from the Via de La Plata. One of our neighbours is a serious peregrino and 3 weeks ago he did the Camino Sanabres by bike. He is a meticulous planner and he had planned an 88 km stage out of Zamora. There was no accommodation where previously it was...

    Via de la Plata Oct 2022

    Hi there. We live about 40 km west of the VDP and I have to say that the peregrino's experience of 30 plus degrees in the first week of October is very rare. It's normally 25-ish generally with a bit of rain. This means that it is usually a perfect time of year to do this Camino. In this part of...

    Car parking in Seville for 1 month

    The long term car park at the airport in Seville would be perfect for you. I am talking about the Aena car park (P2) at the airport. The secret is to apply to be a socio (member) - it is free and it gets you about a 60% discount. No need to leave your keys or any nonsense like that. The Aena...

    Staffs in Seville?

    We live 100 km north of Seville and have not been into the city since February but we have certainly seen bastones available for sale in the Tourist shops around the Giralda or alternatively in Calle Adriano.
