Anyone starting out of Salamanca?

Looking to start solo this Tuesday March 1st out of Salamanca. Anyone starting out around then?

Hello and welcome! Answer your question: twice. Salamanca is one of my favorites among the cities on the Camino. It has an amazing combination of the atmosphere of a historic city and the beautiful architecture and youth and freshness created by young people (it has been a famous university city since 1250). It would definitely be a shame not to dedicate at least one extra day. Better two. The Albergue is in the center, very close to the cathedral and has a beautiful garden (park) overlooking the river.

Am hopefully continuing the VDLP out of Salamanca but not until late April. I'd agree with m108 that Salamanca is one of my favorite cities (perhaps in the world). It's worth a couple of days to get rid of jet lag, get back into the swing of Spanish, and just slow it down a bit for the walk.

One reason for me choosing the VDLP is to avoid the constant stress of the bed race on the busier routes. Alas I haven’t escaped it. Literally every bed (that I’m able to contact) is full from...

I think I’m on day 12, so not quite two weeks in. Thus far the VDLP is definitely a different animal than the CF. And I have to say, I’m struggling to enjoy it as much as the CF last year. I...

Gronze has a note for the albergue in Valdesalor saying the key needs to be picked up from the town hall or the bar. Am I correct in assuming that this only applies if you are the first to arrive...

(Live on the Camino, but I don't know how to post with that tag) The Camino Sanabres winds through small stone villages and along vast green pastures rimmed in stone walls. Sometimes you walk on...

Be careful when you organise a transfer from the Arca de Caparra (Via’s emblem) to one of the three hotels in Jarilla. The guide books we are using state that you will be picked up at ARCA DE...
