I'm just considering alternatives/modifications to the VDLP for this coming spring. I've walked VDLP/Sanabrese previously, and will be thrilled to walk it again, but I wonder:
Have you walked or do you know about combining the Caminos Manchego and Sureste with the Via de la Plata/Sanabrese route? Starting in Cuidad Real, joins the Sureste at Toledo, and then joins the VDLP at Benavente. I am also interested in whether I can join the VDLP earlier at Salamanca (is there a way to walk from Avila to Salamanca?)
Looks interesting, but I'm unsure about waymarking, water, accommodations, etc. It looks appealing to me because I've never seen that particular area of Spain, in particular Toledo.
If you've been in that area, and have advice, I'd appreciate it!
(I've checked out Peter Robins' site and there is a good deal of info on all of the above, would also like to hear from anyone who has walked it!)
Thanks.
