What training / preparation did you do for VDLP? How does it compare to Camino Frances in terms of degree of difficulty?

...Everyone is different but IMHO, the Vdlp (at least up to Zamora) is not difficult. But you need to be prepared to walk 30+ km without a town in sight. I'd say go for it!
Obviously I walk most days anyway for about 10 - 15 km so hopefully that will suffice, along with some extra step work... (Very flat where we live , so they're my pseudo hills)
