    5-6 days in July, Camino Sanabres?

    Thanks Miguel...Tourist Info in Santiago told me that I may well get lost walking this direction and suggested that I simply catch the train or bus to Ourense...so I figure this makes sense (even though I feel the Camino is meant to be walked in both directions) and then simply catch a flight...

    5-6 days in July, Camino Sanabres?

    Hi Maria, I am writing to you from Santiago and yes, it is a busy time on the Camino Frances---but not too hot nor too cold as Goldilocks may say... During the day on the trail, I did have time to reflect and to be quiet (I also like to walk solo)....it is simply finding the pockets where there...

    Is the VDLP Safe Right Now?

    Dear Annie, I feel exactly as you do. I too am brave and not, "stupid". These robberies are so disturbing to me. I want to feel free when I walk (I prefer to walk alone) as I did on my prior camino experiences. One certainly feels more vulnerable as a woman too. There are other camino choices...

    Sleeping bag or liner?

    Well, another "momentous" decision made. I usually travel with a liner and rely on an abundance of blankets (even if on the dusty n dirty side). I just bought a Roman Palm sleeping bag, however, and feel relieved that I now have my own bed, so to speak. Yes, super compact and weighs .9 kg...

    Many Rivers to Cross..?

    Crocs and polluted toxic rivers (in terms of drinking). Noted... I hear adding a few drops of iodine solution to fountain or tap water is a means to counter any potential bacteria. I am considering taking a wee bottle. Annie, I will be in Seville two days after you take a bus for Zafra! If you...

    Many Rivers to Cross..?

    Yes, I was referring to filling up the bottle at creeks etc. important advice. Thanks.

    Many Rivers to Cross..?

    Thanks Melanie, Seems you are heeding a "camino-call" if you are roaming these forums. Maybe you shall step out sooner rather than later!? I am so looking forward to this wonderful adventure. I do have another query -writing of streams/rivers. Is water clear and ok to drink (i.e. no residue...

    Many Rivers to Cross..?

    Fantastic Laurie. Thanks for the information. I love how Nature-trees in your case-help support our journey. Yes, may water levels continue drop! Relieved to hear the trail is well marked. I most certainly am not a "map person". But seems part of camino-passage to get lost at some point!

    Many Rivers to Cross..?

    Hi all, I am stepping out from Seville mid May and am relieved to hear the trail is drying out a little! Are there many rivers to cross in the first stage and, in your experience, what is the best method for crossing? I am used to walking Camino Frances in the height of Summer! No river...

    Mosquitos on the VDLP?

    hey JW, what "little machines" do you mean?!

    Time constraint - any stages I could skip?

    Hello all, With a change of plan, I am now setting out from Seville mid May. I am now researching this Camino (which does sounds amazing). I have seen many posts that suggest taking a taxi from Castillanco de los Aroyos to the start of the park... Why is this so>? And can one get by with very...

    WooHOO! Got my ticket. Start VDLP May 12

    Hi Annie, I am new to this, 'Via" and wondering why you are deciding to skip the fuente to zafra stage. Is it because you have walked this before or perhaps due to lack of accommodation? or... I am planning to step out from Seville mid May and perhaps will meet and greet you on the trail. I...

    Paris to Seville

    Agreed, that is not so bad hotelmedics-esp. the Vueling flight cost. Thanks for the info. I would love to do this Camino and actually I like intense heat. Not sure I have "time" for the overland route. You would think pick-pockets would prefer those in a fancy coat rather than a raggedy...

    Paris to Seville

    well, I did some research and it seems the prices are really high for all three "methods" of travel. Looks a wonderful Camino. But there is always a next time ...and "next time" I shall fly into Madrid! Buen Camino

    Paris to Seville

    Hi all, I have never walked this route and am now considering this as option for this coming May. Soon! I arrive in CDG 6 p.m. on a Sunday and am wondering the best way to make my way to Seville (hopefully without paying high accommodation prices in Paris). Is there a bus? or train? I am also...
