    Phone connection on VDLP

    Hi Fred. Just returned from two weeks - Sevilla to Merida - and can advise good coverage with the 3 network. Same as the others I didn’t check every minute of the walk but no major dead spots.

    Cheers John. I'm starting from Sevilla on Friday 16 so up to date info is really, really helpful. Any additional updates gratefully received. I note your comments wrt the numbers of pilgrims and that is useful when looking at potential space in Albergues/avoiding the bed race. (I did the CF last...
