HI All,
I'm considering the Camino VDLP during two weeks at Easter, I keep hearing comments about the Sanbres being a beautiful camino but am not sure if that is the VDLP or a section of it. Can someone please enlighten me !!
When you think of Le Puy think B&B. When you think of Spain think dorms or 1-2* pensiones. And let's not even het started about the food, unless you're on the Norte. So, for an nexpensive escapade, Spain is it.Thanks for that, I would be Walking over Easter. Is it much more expensive than the other Caminos ? Which routes are you comparing it too please ?
If it's like a "Mini Primitivo" it must be.Thanks for that, so the Sanbres is a beautiful walk also ?
And have a day off in Ourense and go to the baths or eat very well in town particularly the Padrone peppers....ahh. The Sanabres is well worth doing.Hi, scubajunky,
The Vdlp goes from Sevilla up to Zamora. Then about 40 km north of Zamora, in a town called Granja de Moreruela, the Vdlp continues north, through Benavente and Astorga, where it joins the Camino Francés. The Sanabrés takes a left and goes northwest, though beautiful country, some nice little towns like Puebla de Sanabria, through Ourense, and then into Santiago through Silleda, Ponte Ulla, and a few other places. You can see good descriptions of it on gronze, mundicamino, and the Eroski site.
In my experience (and I think I've been on the Sanabrés at least four times), the Sanabrés branch is much more popular than staying on the Vdlp till you get to Astorga. And rightly so, IMO.
