    Phone connection on VDLP

    I walked for two weeks on the VdlP and had no problems with connections at all, I'm with vodaphone but with another carrier it may be different. Having said all that further into the camino it might be different.

    I’m afraid that I have to return to the Uk, therefore Camino vdlp stopped. Now on the way to Madrid for a flight tomorrow evening. Thanks for all the support

    Last three days went well although for two of them I was very sluggish, no problem with the route or the albergue. I have to say I’d not have been happy in rainy weather, even today there were lots of the walking blocks. Luckily for me there was no water around. It’s been dry now for two weeks...

    Thank you for the update I should start the Sanabres in a couple weeks. I’m also having fantastic weather, started in Sevilla 12 days ago.

    Nothing really to report it’s what it says on the tin. I have to say even though the way marking is excellent coming out of Merida the road walking is a pain, there are one or two nice (small) sections through coynteyside, so if you haven’t done this before, just be aware. Marida itself is a...

    What I haven’t been able to with the app is show distances from my current position. I’ve done all the app asks but still no joy. Any idea?

    It wasn’t so early, I have found that the Camino doesn’t seem to be as well known and large towns so far have been badly marked. I didn’t want too but I have reverted to using the WP App. No more getting lost, I think it’s a brilliant app.

    Now in Torremejia after a 27 km boring hike. Very few places to park the bum for a break. Take plenty of food and water on this stage because there is nothing. On leaving Zafra a few days ago I, and the others got lost, the pilgrim signs just vanished, it looked as if they had been removed from...

    Update on the last two 20k days. The journey to Monesterio for the first 12k was really nice to the cafe by the main road. Had a really nice cheap lunch there, something you don’t want to miss.the last 5 k or so to the town is along a gravel path that just goes up and up and up, I thought it...

    The hill at the end of the day is hard, but for me it’s all part of the journey and I’m glad that bit is behind me. But without the hill you wouldn’t be able to experience the fantastic views. Yesterday from Castilblanco to Real de la Jura was also a short stage 14 k and it had some ups and...

    They have all been fine, there has been no rain for a couple of weeks. I’ll be leaving El Real de la Jara in an hour or so and I’m in for anothe sunny day.

    Sorry I was a bit vaque regarding locations. The stage from hell is between Castilblanco de los Arroyos and Almaden del la Plata. Yhe first section is 16 km up the side of the road, then through a lovely park until you come to the hill. Regarding Albergues I have had no problem, there aren’t as...

    The stage from hell, who ever named it this really got it right. I’m going to start with the hill at the end, in my opinion it was a real killer, you can see it in the distance and you think I hope that’s not it, but it is. I was Lucky because I had a young women ahead of me and 3 students...

    Typical predictive text, it should have red just Aqua. I’ll try and pay more attention next time.

    Something I forgot to mention last night. My guide book says that there are no facilities like water and food on this stage, well about half way through the Olive grove you will see a sign for Aguascalientes, the pipe comes out the ground with a tap on it. The municipal albergue in...

    Today going from Guillena to Castilblanco de los Arroyos was slightly shorter. It was easy exiting Guillena, when you cross the river you’ll see the Camino sign on a post pointing straight ahead, that’s the way to go ignore the arrow pointing to the right. Now if you’re planning on taking a...

    The temperature today was 18c and it’s going to be same all week. I'm not to sure how deep it was I can say that I couldn’t see the bottom. The girder is not too bad if you don’t look down. I would recommend that if you use poles to stow those so your hands are free, just in case you need them...

    For all those following me I have some tips for. I was lucky to meet Nalod from the forum in the Hotel Simon yesterday, he had just finished a short 5 day Camino and was kind enough to share information, as they say always listen to the experienced pilgrim. Firstly he showed me the first part...
