VDLP, The Return

Active Member
A little over a year after we had to stop the VDLP in Alcuescar because of a fall I had, which turned out to be bad.
We are flying this evening to Madrid. Will pick up a train to Salamanca, two nights there, then a bus to Alcuescar. We'll start walking from Alcuescar next Saturday morning (si Dios quiere y la Virgen lo permite.)
No idea how long and until when and where. One day at a time
 
Very light, comfortable and compressible poncho. Specially designed for protection against water for any activity.

Our Atmospheric H30 poncho offers lightness and waterproofness. Easily compressible and made with our Waterproof fabric, its heat-sealed interior seams guarantee its waterproofness. Includes carrying bag.

€60,-
Hi, Grilly,

May the second time be the charm. I can really empathize because on my first Vdlp I had to stop in Caceres. The second time, the stars aligned and I was able to walk Sevilla-Santiago.

I don't know if you will be spending time in Alcuescar, or if you are a fan of ancient churches, but if you arrive in Alcuescar and feel like a warm-up walk, there is a wonderful 7 km or so round trip walk from the town hall to the visigothic church of Santa Maria de Trampal. I absolutely loved it.

The route is very well marked, on the side of a country road all the way, but it's lovely and has no traffic. I described it here: camino-mozarabe-and-via-de-la-plata/topic8965.html

More info on the church: http://www.turismo-prerromanico.es/arte ... pficha.htm

And of course google images can give you a preview! Buen camino, keep in touch, Laurie
