I am curious to know if anyone has done geocaching while walking this Camino. If so, can you share your experience? Thanks.

Hi, yes you can geocache on this route. I cached along the VldP in 2015. My geocaching handle is Mystic Seer. I planned my day to grab a cache every day just to break up the walk and to visit the sights. Most of them are very close to the route within 300 - 250 meters on the Camino. You'll be surprised how many you will find on the way and where you find them. Just look at the main towns and along the route on www.geocaching.com to plan your day. If they are 1 - 2 km off route I didn't worry about them. Best caching was one very good stretch of 17km after Guillena which breaks up the day. Excellent caches along a great route and well hidden. I even found one in a snail's shell (yes it was a cache) on the outskirts of Monestario. Have fun. This is a great walk and one of my favourites.I am curious to know if anyone has done geocaching while walking this Camino. If so, can you share your experience? Thanks.
