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

    Don't you think your body is trying to tell you something? Sounds like it does care, to me. Enjoy shorter days and take it easy, no?

    Path flooded

    A small part of the Via de la Plata is flooded and impassable today between Vilar de Bario and Xunqueria de Ambia. It can be managed by backing up to the cross roads, taking the right and crossing the stream shortly afterwards, then skirting round the field of wheat, cutting through the wood...

    Field Report from Salamanca

    I walked with ice stones hitting my face in thunder and lightening today between Montamarta and Tábara. Also had quick sunbathe at the pueblo before Tábara! Mad :)

    Weather and albergues VdlP March 2018

    Every now and then there is a stretch without but basically there are no problems at all. Go straight on if there is nothing. Or ask! But it does depend on your peace of mind. Have a great time

    Supposed to be dry today

    Thankyou to all who are giving daily feedback re albergues and weather. I am nervous but it has always worked out in the past. Perhaps the VdlP is getting more popular even in March and April.

    Beginner: Ourense to Santiago

    Hi, I only know the answer to question 2. I walked from Santiago to Ourense and beyond. It will not be hard for you to find the albergues. Here is a blog which details the stops in your direction: http://viadelaplata.canalblog.com/archives/p30-20.html and mine (going backwards)...

    Tips on day 4

    Tips for VdlP: I am managing without a book but if they weren't so expensive I would suggest you get one. Times lost: 4 ie one per day. Not terrible but takes time and energy. All albergues so far fantastic: La Luz in Guilenna, municipal ones in Castilblanco, Almadén and Monesterio. When...

    Via de la Plata contrario

    Has anyone else walked the Via de la Plata from Santiago towards Seville? I finished the Francés at Santiago and wanted to keep going. it seemed silly to spend money going by bus and walking back and anyway I am on my way to Madrid. but... it is really hard finding the way and the info on line...
