A Wonderful Resource for Planning Any Camino

[Nada J]

The Camino Forum has provided me with information, support, inspiration and a lifeline during this wretched pandemic. Thank you to Ivar for the contribution you have made to all of us. The Forum helped me plan for the Camino Frances which I walked in 2018. Somehow, I walked the Camino Frances for the first time in 2009 without knowing about the Forum but I sure learned a lot and was better prepared in 2018 because of the Forum.

So, with great anticipation, I have decided to walk the Via de la Plata starting on April 18, 2022 after spending 4 days at Easter in Sevilla. I don't know whether I found this website on my own or through the Forum, but boy, it sure has provided me with a wealth of information as I plan my stages for the Via de la Plata. So, to give back to the Forum, in case this resource isn't familiar with some of you, here is the website link... https://www.elcaminoconcorreos.com/.

Buen Camino to all those who plan on walking a Camino in 2022.

Isn't this a great site!! I totally agree. Thanks Ivar and all the moderators who give such sage advice,
I will also be walking the VDLP next April, starting on the 8th. I would have loved to be in Seville over Easter but as I have already booked my flight, I will hopefully be in Merida that weekend. I will check out your weblink. Buen Camino to you!

Buen Camino to both of you!

The VdlP is a fantastic Camino! Plan a rest day or two in Merida:

Thank you! I will be spending the easter weekend there and hoping I will be able to access the various sites over the holiday weekend.
PS.. I love your profile pic and hope to be able to buy one of those coins once they become available.

Well… most importantly it strongly advertises “Contrata el transporte de tu mochila en el Camino de Santiago” so, thanks for letting know this option

So far the best for the planing stages and sleeps have been www.gronze.com and godesalco.com

Did you enjoy the 4 days in Sevilla during Easter?

April 2022 is still a few months away so I haven't had my "Back to the Future" experience yet. But in my imagination I had a magical time.

For sure, the two sites you mentioned are great resources. For the "Correos" site, under each stage you need to click "see more" and you will get detailed directions and lots of great tips of what to see. Plus accommodation suggestions.

You can change the language on the Correos site.
There are a number of choices.

I have recently returned from the VDLP, walked from Seville to Merida. I enjoyed walking that section of the VDLP very much. On the way, I found the Wise Pilgrim app very useful, especially the map of the app. Even though the waymarking was mostly very good, in some places I missed the arrows. And in some rare sections, there was not much waymarking (for example, after Torremejia). In those situations I was always able to check from the Wise Pilgrim map whether I am on the Camino route or which direction to choose. It gave much confidence on walking alone.

Thanks for the info and I'll download the app once I make space on my phone... too many hiking and grandkid photos! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome. Yes, that is a very good resource, one of many we used to plot our first two Caminos. I am a moderator on a FB site "Hiking the Camino and the World" (check it out) and based on the number of new member requests, 2022 may be an incredibly busy year along the Camino routes. I planned to walk del Norte solo in 2020 for a birthday milestone, but COVID changed that. Based on how busy Santiago de Compostela might be next year, I am considering shifting gears and walking the Via Francigena from Canterbury England to Rome ... let me see how ambitious I get. Buen Camino,
