Mozarabe, then North to Guadalupe and Avila anyone!

[Jay Es]

I'm looking at an alternative to the Mozarabe from joining the VdlP at Merida.
There are hints of leaving the Mozarabe and heading to Guadalupe and onwards towards Avila.
I don't know how realistic these routes are though, if they just follow highways.
I know there is a new variant via Trujillo, but I have walked the VdlP before and am of a mind to try a different route north to Benevente.
I'd be grateful for any info or just telling me is not a practical idea.

Unless there is a specific reason for joining the vdlp @ Merida, you could take the 4-5 day Camino Teresiano from Avila through to Alba de Tormes, then one day on the walking trail into Salamanca to rejoin vdlp

I think this is the one I was looking at. Have you done it?
I have looked at the rought route on Google earth and it seems there a lot of tarmack and road walking, but Im uncertain.
Do you know if its way marked?

I think we will probably head on up to Yuste Monestario and along the GR route to meet up with the VdlP a bit furher north. But still may make our way to Avila via another route, theres just some mountains in the way! with it being a winter Camino, we may have snow in that area and have to abandon to the VdlP anyway.
Hope you have a Buen Camino,keep us posted on your journey, it would be ineresting to know how you get along.

Hi @Jay Es
Below is a link to the resources section of this forum. Info etc/link by @Elle Bieling (also a forum member ) on Ruta Teresiano.
When walking the camino de Levante near Avila/Gotarrendura, there are several signposts indicating you are on part of this route.
