    Where do I get a Credential in Sevilla (on Good Friday)?

    Hola, All has ended well, although the last few days into Santiago were made truly awful by the road/rail work diversions/views and the unseasonally high temperatures. Ended up doing the last 70km in 2 days just to get it behind me! But that said, Santiago was magical as ever, with the May...

    Where do I get a Credential in Sevilla (on Good Friday)?

    Hello All from beautiful Salamanca, Yes I´m here but this is my first internet session since leaving Seviile and probably my last until reaching Santiago. I´ve just said a sad fairwell to 3 amigos who all leave the <camino here in salamanca and now continue on my own. Hopefully by the time <i...

    Where do I get a Credential in Sevilla (on Good Friday)?

    Thanks Annie and Jean Marc, I have been in Sevilla 3 days now and loved the Easter buzz ( and the bull fighting starts today) but I am keen keen keen KEEN to start walking. Because of time I always intended to leap frog to Merida and walk into Santago from there so, since it now seems that the...

    Where do I get a Credential in Sevilla (on Good Friday)?

    Hello all, Just to let you know that on Good Friday i went to both hostels mentioned and they had both run out of credentials ..... which makes me wonder how many were made available for issue over Easter, and perhaps more worryingly, how may people are out there on the Via de la Plata (I was...

    Where do I get a Credential in Sevilla (on Good Friday)?

    Thanks everyone for your help! Unfortunately the reality of getting a credential in Australia, much less Alice Springs, is not so simple. Which is why I was leaving it until I got there, not anticipating the general shut down of Holy Week in Spain. But yes, it looks like Hotel Simon...

    Where do I get a Credential in Sevilla (on Good Friday)?

    Hi All, I'm getting into Sevilla on Good Friday this year and starting the camino on Easter Sunday...but I don't yet have my credential and am not confidant, based on what I've read so far, that I will be able to get one before starting out. They do not seem to be available from the cathedral...

    Beginning in Merida

    Hello, Does anyone know the practicality of getting a bus from Seville to Merida on Easter Sunday? I am looking at now starting my Camino in Merida (due to available time) but would like to start only after attending the Easter mass in Seville Cathedral. Also, any recommendations on a good...

    Anyone able to recommend guide to Via la Plata?

    Thanks for everyone's responses. And it seems that, like a lot of things with a camino, to take or not to take a guide is personal choice. One thing though is clear, and that is that there is no single, up-to-date guide which will get me through in English. So I will continue to research...

    Anyone able to recommend guide to Via la Plata?

    Thanks William, Are these the ones that you used? I'm aware of both these books but understood that they were both a few years old - or are they? 2005? But I guess with the updates on the web for the Cof SJ guide that one will at least work out current. And will probably be the one I end up...

    May 2010 - will the Holy Year affect via de la Plata??

    Thanks - that's a great site! But I'm still hesitating about not taking a guide book. I guess if there's a few people on this Camino this holy year and I have a list of towns along the route it shouldn't be too hard. Good chance to grow my extremely limited spanish language skills! I did enjoy...

    Anyone able to recommend guide to Via la Plata?

    I've got 8 weeks now before starting the VdlP from out of Seville and wondering whether anyone can recommend any worthwhile guides to the route. Something basic to carry with me which will allow me to plan stops a day ahead at a time and provide enough info to keep me on the right route ...

    May 2010 - will the Holy Year affect via de la Plata??

    Thanks for that advise. I live in the centre of australia so heat doesn't put me off, much, but seeing something other than a brown parched land would be good. The wild flowers sound amazing. So. I've gone back to the travel agent and re-opened flights to Madrid for just before Easter. Which is...

    May 2010 - will the Holy Year affect via de la Plata??

    Hi guys, I'm also planning a walk along the La Plata this year, having done the camino along the french route in 2004 and again 2009. After 2004 I swore i would never do it again in a holy year but last years walk has me wanting to return. Soon. And so like you Jo Ellen, the southern route...
