Hello! Unfortunately I did not get that early of a start...was up late, couldn't sleep. I have a green pack. I'm debating which route to take from Seville and will decide once I get there. Hope to meet up tonight. Are you staying in Guillena? I will be at the Alb. Luz. Maybe we'll meet up...
Thank you so much for the reminders about food and water. I went to the pilgrims office but they were closed until 7pm. I also checked out a sporting store as I needed to buy poles....sadly it was only running apparel they had. So I trekked to the decathlon store in Camas as the one in the...
Hello all. I am finally going to be starting my Camino from Seville tomorrow. I arrived on Tuesday and have been taking in the sights of this wonderful city. Today I hope to find some trekking poles and to visit the Camino office for any advice re: starting out. If anyone who is here wants to...
Enjoying your posts! As I'm about to leave soon I'm having a hard time deciding on how much to bring for the cold mornings/nights. I'm not sure about my puffy jacket,,, but know if I don't bring it I'll be needing it. What do you have for layers/warm clothing?
Update: after using what's app i got replies from both accommodations and decided on Calzadilla only to be closer to Zafra the next day. I'm only doing one night there so hope it's enough to do a bit of sight seeing. Thanks for the heads up @peregrina2000 !
Thank you for your detailed posts. I will be leaving in a week and this is very helpful. I have booked la Casa de mi Abuela and happy to hear you enjoyed it there. Your restaurant notes are very helpful as well. Buen Camino! I am getting excited and nervous!
Thank you for this info. Wow, what time of year was this? Glad you found the pear to sustain you. I will try again to book in Fuente and if not then Calzadilla. Buen future caminos!
Thank you Laurie for your reply. Yes I have started using what's app recently, but I was emailing prior to going over my accommodation one last time. I will try both of those pensions again with what's app now and wait for a response. Thanks again. I'm excited for this first VDLP as well as...
I will definitely try to put up posts as I walk. As I'm going solo I think/hope I'll have lots of time to post. One question Laurie (as you seem to have lots of experience with the VDLP) is I'm having trouble finding accommodation in Fuente de Cantos or Calzadilla de los Barros. I don't want to...
