    Demographic of VDLP pilgrim in recent years

    Don't worry ! I have noted in the three times I have walked the Via that there are many more women walking than my first time. I usually start the week after Easter which seems to be the busier time. I'm no Spring chicken and start once more on 10th April. Great Camino!

    New route into Guillena

    I seem to remember in 2012 just crossing the dry river bed. I would have been terrified to cross the log. I felt quite proud of myself in 2022 shuffling across the girder.

    Why so few pilgrims on the Via de la Plata? Article from local website.

    For me the ideal time to start the VDLP is just after Easter up to the middle of April. Coming from Australia I like a long, varied Camino. I will be starting my 4th time this April. I found more women walking it in recent years than in 2012 ,my first from Seville. There is just the right...

    Phone connection on VDLP

    I had a couple of times with no network with Orange . This April I will try Vodaphone or would Movistar be better? I had arranged to be picked up after the Pico de Dueno by Carreras V11 Hostal. No network so no pick up.

    Via de la Plata/Sanabres to Ourense or to Astorga? So confused!

    Castro Dozen could certainly do with some accommodation. It's either walk on to A laxe or taxi or bus. In 2022 the husband at the first cafe was the taxi driver.

    "The Vía de la Plata is fairly flat"

    My first time on the VDLP I was feeling quite lonely with very few pilgrims from Salamanca and no English speakers so I decided to walk to Astorga. I found it flat and boring. Never again! I was so happy on the last day to see in the distance ahead to my right ,the green ,metal bridge/footpath...

    Frances to Sanabres

    In 2013 I took a bus from Burgos to Zamora to walk the Sanabrese after walking the Aragones and a bit of the Frances.

    Dinner time on the VDLP

    In 2022 he was closed on a Wednesday. I was sad but the cafe across the Plaza gave a very good meal.
