I'm on my way.

[marjude]

Hi all,

I'm leaving Australia today, arrive in Spain tomorrow, begining my walk from Seville 27th.
I have been able to access so much valuable information on the forum, which has made my planning so much easier. Thank you all very much.

Buen Camino, Judy.

Buen camino!

Weather in Andalusia seems fine, 15 - 20 degrees C. Sure you will have a nice time. Starting a month later. Hope you get time to tell us about your trip on the forum.

Have a wonderful walk, Judy. Hope you will have time to report back here from time to time, so that all of us who long for the beauty of the Vdlp will be able to enjoy it vicariously. Buen camino, Laurie

Buen camino!

I wish I could start now too instead of waiting 59 days. ;-)

But I can wait.

It will be warmer in 59 days, I hope so, because that is when I start my camino

Hi All,
Just a quick note to let you know the weather in Seville is warm, on thursday it was 28c, and each day has been warm, the nights are cool. Seville is certainly a beautifull and vibrant city.
I start walking tomorrow.

Buen Camino, Judy.

I am nearly on my way, catching a bus to Sydney in 3 hours, and flying out early tomorrow morning.
The long range forecast for Seville is for 26 degrees and clear skies on 31st March when I set out, following in Judys footsteps

Re: I'm on my way. URGENT NOTE

Hi.

I'm in Salamanca, having just completed the Merida-Salamanca segment. WARNING: There is a critical missing sign/arrow/hito near Galisteo that has sent everyone I met about 10km out of their way. Here's what you need to know:

About 3 miles from Galisteo you'll be on a nice, wide path near a canal and you can see the town off to your left. KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED FOR A GREEN GATE ON THE LEFT. There's a sign on the gate that says No Trespassing (in Spanish, of course), but if you look more closely there's a tiny "Peregrinos O.K." scratched into the sign. You need to go through this gate. Once you pass through this property (it's a short stretch), you'll see all sorts of Camino markers.

Apparently the farmer who owns the land painted over all of the arrows and removed the hito (gray box with the Caparra arch). If any of you plan to bypass Galisteo and continue on to Carcaboso, let me know. There's some confusion passing Galisteo as well.

Good luck and Buen Camino! I had a fantastic trip and can't wait to update my VDLP app!

Buen Camino all of you!
I hope you will post a blog so we can follow?

Hi Melanie, thanks for this. I am setting off from Merida on April 20 and walking to Salamanca also. We will probably stay in Galisteo but plans usually need to be flexible so any information about by-passing Galisteo would be great. I have a trip planned to Syria after Spain, so am expecting to be very flexible on that one. Might need to stay on the Camino. Will look for your app, Marianne

Hi, Melanie;

Thanks for your app; I have put it on my phone; it looks extremely helpful. Do you have any idea when the next section might be ready? I leave Sevilla on April 25 - first 3 weeks with a friend then the rest on my own. I am so excited!!

Sue
