    Caminho sanabres?

    Re: Camino sanabres? Toby, Have a look at this site: http://caminodesantiago.consumer.es/los ... /sanabres/ It is in Spanish and is good. Even if you do not read / speak Spanish you might glean useful info from it, eg the maps. Had I known about it before my walk in Sep 2012 I would have...

    Walking in Fall: Hot in Andalucia, Cold in Galicia??

    Hello Soleil! I see you have done the VdlP already..... I start at Sevilla on 7 Sep so will be in Galicia in mid Oct roughly. I am taking a shirt (being worn), a sleeveless pullover, a fleecetop and trousers for the colder part of the journey. A sleeping bag (lightweight) is for night use...

    In the shadow of pilgrims: VdlP - Graeme Bennett

    Thank you Melanie. I have been to Salamanca by car but I'm sure the arrival on foot will be marvellous - and a relief no doubt! I have started looking at Sevilla temperatures and it's pretty hot at present: some 35-40C. I expect it to be very similar in 3 weeks time. 39C today from where I...

    In the shadow of pilgrims: VdlP - Graeme Bennett

    My next long walk starts in Seville on 7 September and will end some 50 days later at about 25 October. It is both a fund raising exercise and another personal challenge. I am raising funds for the British Ex-Servicemen's Association (BLESMA) (see below) and have an initial target of £500 but...

    Food and costs on the VdlP

    Yes, falcon, I will be blogging but will almost certainly start a new and separate one. Will advise here later as I will not be starting my walk before September. I will also write on this forum under "Live from the VdlP". I have the impression that computers may be less numerous on the Via...

    Food and costs on the VdlP

    Food and costs on the VdlP, and walking sticks Thank you those who have commented and passed over info. I have looked at sites mentioned: all useful stuff. I doubt I shall be using iphones, ipads or any other "i" device!! A map will do + guide book and mobile phone. Plane ticket to Sevilla...

    Food and costs on the VdlP

    Some excellent info here and thanks to davroos, viajero, jeff and LTfit. Clearly a more expensive camino than the Frances and more difficult, it seems. I shall certainly take a map / guide. I have found one, in French, some time ago but did not note its source so cannot pass it on at the...

    Thought I'd say hello.

    Hi Todd, Saw your blog and remarks about back-pack and footwear. You must wear your walking boots in training although I know it's months away till you start: sorts out the blisters, ill-fitting boots, etc in good time. And, of course, you will wear your back-pack too, fully loaded, when...

    Food and costs on the VdlP

    Food I have found nothing on the subject of feeding on the VdlP other than a passing remark. Cooking myself is my least favoured option! Is it safe to say that in the villages along the route there is a restaurant of sorts where one can get a meal? I found when walking the Camino frances all...

    Via de la Plata End of Oct to mid-December?

    I see, John, you are about to embark on the VdlP in a few days time. Good luck. I understand it is about the most beautiful of the caminos but so far I have done little research on it, the route, lodgings, etc. I hope you will be able to keep us up to date on your travels and adventures as you...
