Having walked the Camino de Madrid in May 2015, it's time to start thinking about the next one for May 2016, and VDLP seems to be the next one on the list. Things to find out:

- stage by stage guides in this forum to VDLP.
- possibly an English guidebook.
- gpx track routes for my GPX.
- accommodation guide / albergues along the route
- alternative routes along the way / interesting diversions?
- get a credential in Seville?

Feel free to post any of your favourite top links to resources, and 'must not miss' suggestions, please.

Thanks
:)
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
You can buy an English Guia in the Seville Confraternity office - handy and pocket sized.
Gerald Kelly has useful guide, you can download onto Kindle app.

The yellow Fleches are well maintained, on the stretch we did, this April, from Seville to Caceres.
We are going Caceres to Zamora, late April, 2016.

I have a spreadsheet of the accommodation, we used ( I avoid Albergues ), if you want- send your E- mail.
Also I blogged it on " ensuitepilgrim log.wordpress.com" March, April May Archive.

Best,

Musicman
