Hello any pilgrims out there,
I am starting my second leg of the Via de la Plata on August 7th this year, walking from Peublo de Sanabria to Muxia via Santiago (of course via Santiago - it would be weird if I avoided the great mecca itself!). Only 3 weeks away! I walked from Seville to Merida with my husband in April this year and got hooked.
I am quite happy to walk alone and have been learning Spanish to assist my independence , but I am wondering if anyone else at all will be walking in that neck of the woods at that time if year. The Camino Calendar is empty...Will the VdlP be empty too?????
I am more curious than alarmed at the prospect of solitude but I am not a huge fan of empty albergues, having stayed in an empty bothy in the middle of nowhere (well the Highlands of Scotland) last April when I walked The Cape Wrath Trail. It was possible the spookiest (and dampest) night of my life.
If anyone is walking north from Pueblo at that time please drop some (biodegradable) litter to give me hope that I am not completely solo. I promise to pick it up and dispose of it in an environmentally friendly manner.
And yes I know I am loco to walk at that time of the year!
