VdlP - Albergue tracking during Covid

JohnMcM · Sep 28, 2020

Hello all,
This may be a figment of my imagination.

I have a vague, (age-related?) memory of reading here that someone was in the process of collecting information directly from albergues along the VdlP about their Covid re-opening plans/intentions. Having scoured the forum for that information I'm defeated in my quest to find it.

Does anyone remember reading the same thing, or if indeed it actually exists, where I would find it?

There is a Facebook page "Friends of the via de Plata group" with much current information about albergues etc

I'd be using Gronze. It is usually up to date. I just checked and it seems to be showing the albergues that are closed. Which does not mean that all the others are open but it does have telephone numbers for most, so you can at least check.

I just got back from walking Caceres to Salamanca. It's doable if you plan ahead. The details of open albergues is here: http://www.viadelaplataguide.net/pages/updates

I think I’m on day 12, so not quite two weeks in. Thus far the VDLP is definitely a different animal than the CF. And I have to say, I’m struggling to enjoy it as much as the CF last year. I...

One route looks a bit steeper, one a bit longer (not much). How else are they different? Recommendations?

JillGat · Tuesday at 9:14 AM

I left them on the trail about 4-5 k before Cea I expect to be in Santiago on April 27-28. Mu email is written on the sides of the poles (for just this eventuality). If you find them and we can...
