Time of past OR future Camino
Camino 2024 unknown starting 4/1 from somewhere.
I am going to walk the VdlP this Spring. Now considering adding the Augusta.

Any feedback on the route, markings, how best to get there, accommodations, distances, elevations or general comments would be appreciated.

Ultreya,

The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
@jpflavin1 @HeidiL just finished walking, @Eugene Carroll will early January and I’ll start end of February so between all 3 we should have a pretty good info bank of the Via Augusta.

ColetteZ:

Do you plan to post along the way? If so, I will be following your walk. If I may ask, how are you getting to Cadiz?

I do not plan to start until late March.

Regards,
Joe
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
ColetteZ:

Thanks for the link to Heidi's posts.

@jpflavin1, I will travel from Seville to Cadiz by train or bus depending on my arrival time in Seville. I will try to post daily a short FYI.

Joe,

We walked Via Augusta in September 2015 and found it a bit boring. In places the Way was not well marked and we depended on GPS. We stayed in hotels/hostals. Here is our website http://pamnjeff.com/andalucia/category/via-augusta/
