    Best up to date guide book for Via de la Plata?

    Embarrassed to say this but -- how do I find his VDLP Facebook page so I can update my 2019 edition? Leaving April 1 to pick up our route again from Rio Negro.

    Who is walking on VdlP in 2020?

    So sad that we will be behind you. We just made reservations for April 1 to fly from Boston to Madrid, then take a bus to Benevente and hopefully get there in time to get a bus to Rio Negro. If anyone has a better way of doing this we'd love to hear about it. So I guess we'll start walking...

    Who is walking on VdlP in 2020?

    If all is well, a big "if" for we aging peregrinos, we will pick up again in March 2020 where we left off last October in Rio Negro and head to Santiago.... Ritaj

    Sanabres Guide

    Thank you so much for this suggestion, though it makes me a little anxious. I think perhaps I just have to face not having it this time. But I will be walking the VdlP in three sections -- the middle third in September 2019 (and the last in May 2020) so I will order it from home and have it...

    Sanabres Guide

    I am leaving the USA for Seville on March 20. Is there any way I can get the Wise Pilgrim guide to the Via de la Plata here in Massachusetts before I leave???? I went to your website but I couldn't tell how it will be mailed and from where so I don't know if it will arrive before I leave. I'd...

    Great Air Fare!

    Booked my flight today on TAP (Portugal) from Boston (departing 7:40 pm, 3/20) to Seville (arriving 9:20 am, 3/21) for $413. And the return is from Madrid. Best ever! There's a change of plane in Lisbon (but no arriving in Madrid and having to spend time on the train to Seville). Check out...

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    All good suggestions to add to my notes! But when I go on line to check out prices for staying at the Hotel Simon, I don't find prices designed for pilgrims and what I do see is beyond our budget by a lot. Is there a way to find the lower prices? Gerald Kelly mentions 40 Euros for a single...

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    I'm a little puzzled about a weather forecast for November 2018 -- am I misunderstanding the first site? If it is possible to predict weather 3 months from now, that's a whole lot of rain indicated. Are the last week of October and first two weeks of November typically pretty rainy as a rule?

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    Thanks! We plan on joining the Sanabres and I know there is transport from there to Santiago. Still waiting for a new transport option to open from Sevilla (though I know it would open the VdlP to more pilgrims and there are those who like it quiet and lonesome and I understand that too). I...

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    I hadn't thought of that option -- I'd hate to have to do it but that's good to know we could do that, as long as we could find a but or taxi!

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    We used the Tarjeta Dorada to travel from Madrid to Leon to start the San Salvador and again from Madrid to Oviedo to start the Primitivo -- and it was within one year (barely) so our 6 euro investment was well used. We will gladly reinvest for the train from Madrid to Seville. And Monday -...

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    Now that's good news! We are prepared to spend time working this out along the way and we know we will pay handsomely for the transport. But we spend so little on the Camino (always has cost us less than it costs us to live at home), taking on this additional expense seems like a small...

    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    Wonderful information but; the first www. brings me to El Cubo de Tierra del Vino and I emailed them at the given address (info@mochilasviadelaplata.com) and my server couldn't send it. The second www. only transports from Ourense and only in 4 stages to Santiago (which are too many kilometers...
