    Five Questions about the Via de la Plata

    There were absolutely people getting their bags transported when I did VDLP last summer. One bunch had big suitcases that got picked up and dropped off every day.

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    Sorry you can't make it Paddy. I was going to be on the lookout for you. I contemplated not going up until three days ago, but I am all in now and leave in the morning. I need more time to get my head straight before I embark on part 2 of my life.

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    Thanks Kevin. I'll watch for you in Seville. Ha! I am booked into the Triana May 3 and 4 with plans to start walking on the 5th.

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    Hi Jim. I don't arrive in Seville until May 3, or I would take you up on your offer! As many have said to catch a ride to Guillena I probably should but I am stubborn and need to see myself why people would say that.

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    I just want to write a thank you for all of you who took the time to write such thoughtful and inspirational words. I am truly teary as I read through them (partly due to my overall stress level which makes me more vulnerable). With the issues I deal with, I seldom benefit from the kindness of...

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    Thank you @bsewall. That made me tear up a bit. ;) You will be one of my pop ups. And that's why, even though I mostly keep to myself, sometimes I need to reach out to others to get through the tough parts.

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    Thanks Sharon. I don't think I want to change plans. And I'm too stubborn to use wheels for any part! I'm landing in Seville May 3rd and I see that the heat is already a factor!

    Thoughts about my upcoming walk

    I am using the Camino to mark a major transition. I lost my job some time ago, couldn't find a job, went back to school, used my savings, so had to sell my house (closes next week). So, I am purging all of my belongings down to what fits in my car (using Camino packing thinking). I am first...

    Albergue in Santiponce ?

    Yep, that's what I'm paying. But better than being on the street! Was just trying to say that there is availability on booking.com that doesn't show elsewhere.

    VldP planning? This may be helpful

    I am now getting nervous...I planned on expecting hot whether for my Camino May through early June. Meaning that I didn't plan on pants, I didn't plan on a sleeping bag, I didn't plan for a jacket. Now, I'm having the typical pre-Camino jitters after looking at the above link. If I change...

    Albergue in Santiponce ?

    FYI, I was also having trouble finding accommodation in Seville. Even when other sites, plus the hostel's site itself, said 'Sold Out', I was able to book on booking.com, so I would suggest going to that site. Specifically, I was able to book at the Triana hostel when both Travelocity and the...

    More information - Convent in Sevilla

    @Anniesantiago Do you have contact info (address and email address) of this monestary? Is this the same place as the convent noted in the Walking and Accommodation guide posted on this site for VLDP or a different place?

    Here we go again!

    I trust you are now seeing the forecast for your first week or so. Looks like rain gear would be a good idea!! ;)

    Wild Camping along Via de la Plata and weather

    The only one I saw was right beside the path (though I know others were doing it, but of course I wasn't walking in the dark when they would camped) I thought he might be dead because it was 9 in the morning and he was just laying there, 'asleep', beside the path. It was an uncomfortable moment.
