[QUOTE="skilsaw, post: 101492, member: 6210"] I walked the VdlP in April/May, but understand that the southern states like Extremadurra are just that...Extreme in the summer. I have also heard that some of the Albergues, say south of Zamora, close in July and August because the number of pilgrims drops right off. But in May, the route Sanabres is beautiful and very green. I think it would be a powerful experience in August... brown, and dusty, and the mountains? (hills) very beautiful. I would take lots of water each day and some electrolyte salts to replenish what gets sweated out. The electrolytes I bought were little pouches of powder, to be mixed with water. "Gastrolyte" as it was called is given to people who become dehydrated due to diarrhea. But dehydration is dehydration, regardless of the cause. I buy it in packages of 10 pouches from the chemist(pharmacy) As I mentioned before, the hill walking is excellent, but down in the valley bottoms, it appears the camino is not on an authentic route. It seems to follow the seams between land owners, and zig-zags without always being well posted. Sunglasses, a wide brimmed hat, loose fitting long sleeved shirt and long pants are a must. Have a great trip. Enjoy your walk. David, Victoria, Canada. [/QUOTE]
