Time of past OR future Camino
So many since 2003.
Has anyone walked this route from Zamora to Verin via Portugal in past months? Any updated info would really be appreciated. I'm heading out from Sevilla in a few days and planning to take this way. Cheers Grace

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Hi Grace
Did you succeed taking this route?
I would like to do the same, leaving Sevilla on April 8, 2015.
Did you find something?

Hi Hugo,
Yes I did take the route (sorry I’ve been travelling and just returned)
It was great fun but not without difficulty. I did not have GPS and was lost most days. Also getting food was quite a problem as the Portuguese eat earlier than the Spanish and most villages closed by the time we arrived. Also no shops/bars at all in a lot of the villages and they relied on the travelling vans for bread/fish/meat and fruit.
The marking was sparse too and there were ‘official’ markers covered with overgrown grass in places - just dumped and not erected.

It was certainly my favourite camino experience to date!
Cheers, Grace
