Has anyone walked the La Plata route in October and November.?
Does anyone know if the route is open or have any COVID restrictions.

Tony, your second question will be a really good question to ask in September.

Meanwhile you'll find some great information on the VdlP here: https://www.caminodesantiago.me/community/forums/🇪🇸-via-de-la-plata-sanabres.22/ including accounts from autumn (Fall) / Winter walkers

At this time you can freely move inside Spain, except for a few towns. Only thing is, many businesses might be closed

Here's RTVE's page with up-to-date information on restrictions and rules in each region and municipality across Spain:

I have not done the VdlP yet but would go in Oct and Nov from a weather standpoint. I have done the CF in Oct of '18 and it was perfect - sun, rain, clouds, warm, cold, people, and everything else. If it is actually safe I will do the VdlP this fall. What's happening in India and places like the Everest base camp indicates I will not go though.

What parts of what's happening in India and the Everest base camp are you referring to?

I think the closed environements, shared dorms, close quarters, populous villages and Delta outbreaks are the unwritten text.

oh, back in May I was referring to the resurgence of covid. India was not good and the Everest base camp had lots of infections at the time. As bad as I need to go, my VdlP plans are not looking so great. For me I find that a big part of a Camino is the crowded daily life in Albergues, especially the munis.

Unlike Nepal, where the vaccination level is currently at 15% and the country is fighting a covid wave and is practically closed, for now you can go to Spain and walk Via de la Plata if you wish.

(some unnecessary private thoughts self-removed)
