    Information on the Portuguese route from Zamora to Verin

    1: I am not sure. As I said, I had not heard the name Zamorano Portugues, and I have walked this camino. But I am not sure if that is important. 2: Sub- forum under Via de la Plata! This camino starts and ends in Spain, with Via de la Plata/Sanabres before and after. Zamora also is the place...

    Information on the Portuguese route from Zamora to Verin

    When we walked this camino, I tried to find the right name, and ended up with Via de la Plata Portugues. I found this name many places on Internet, but also along the route. Camino Zamorano Portugues is a new name for me. Is this the official name? For how long? Why then Via de la Plata...

    Camino Sur, Huelva - Zafra this spring, a photovideo

    We walked Camino Sur, Huelva - Zafra, early spring this year. The marking differ a bit, but most of the way the camino is very well marked. The first part is quite flat, the second part is more hilly. Nice roads and lovely landscapes most of the way. For more information from me, see...

    Shortcut to Santa Lucía del Trampal from Aljucen to Alcuéscar

    Three times we have been walking this part of Via de la Plata, passing without visiting Santa Lucia. But this March, the fourth time, we did the detour! I found the GPS track at Wicilok, and had no problems finding our way. Go there! It was a great experience. It was like visiting San Pedro de...

    Information from walking Camino Sur (Huelva - Zafra) this spring

    Some information from our walk on Camino Sur, Huelva – Zafra, two months ago. We had a nice walk, with nice weather. That means a lot to the impression. The camino is quite flat in the beginning, and more hilly later on. There are a few stretches of asphalt that are not so nice, but there are...

    Via de la Plata Portugues, Zamora – Verin

    We walked this camino in April. Here comes some information (at last). We came from Levante and continued on this camino, 9 days from Zamora to Verin, from April 14th to 23rd. We found this a very nice but strenuous camino. One of the best when it comes to the road itself; gravel roads, dirt...

    Two new foto videos from Via de la Plata

    We had some wet days last autumn, yes. But we had a nice walk. We've been a lot more unlucky on several other Camino walks in Spain. But it's good not to get too much rain, and now it's probably one of the best periods of the year, so: Buen Camino!

    Two new foto videos from Via de la Plata

    Autumn is here and I see on the forum that somebody have plans for Via de la Plata. Good. Having walked this camino twice in the spring, we experienced it up to Baños de Montemayor in the fall in 2015 and 2016. Now I have made two photo videos from these hikes in October. As I say in the...

    Albergue at Alcantara

    Thank you for all your information on the forum, Laurie! I asked my self the same question, since someone said here that it might be closed. I saw that they are open from March to Octobre, and hoped that the saying of "closed" was because someone had been there before the first of March. Bjorg

    Fuente de Cantos, Zafra at Easter. 10 day Camino.

    Thank you for the updating, Peregrina. I had "your" number to Milenium, but then I found the other number somewhere, and since I had heard that there was a new number, I changed... to the old one... :( There are so many different sides with different information. It is confusing. I will be in...

    Slow train to Sevilla

    I do not understand this. Is it the Tarjeta Dorado we must buy in person at a railway station? I bought tickets this Autumn going by AVE from Madrid to Cordoba. I bought them on Internett from Norway and nobody had seen me or my credit card at any station. :( Bjorg
