Via Augusta - Apr '23

[Kev&Kath]

My wife and I walked the Via Augusta in April this year...walking out of Cadiz on Good Friday. We thought this was an excellent path and fantastic 'warm up' for our push up VdlP and Camino Sanabres. Highlights were definitely a couple of days in Cadiz (getting on time...and the walk out of Cadiz), El Puerto de Santa Maria and Jerez de la Frontera. Would definitely look to repeat this walk at some future time.

I have looked at this route as an extension from starting in Algeciras/Gibraltar and following the coastal Camino, before starting VdlP in Seville.
However I am now considering starting in Huelva along the Camino del Sur to Zafra and bypassing Seville. Then continuing along the VdlP. Mainly because I get better direct flight connections from where I live in the UK with easy bus connections to my Camino Start and end points.

Thank you for sharing.
I was considering this last year as a start to the VDLP, but couldn’t find enough information to support me as a solo older walker, so started in Sevilla.
It’s been good to hear from others completing this Camino.

We were going to do this walk in the fall but ultimately decided to walk the Via Serrana from La Linea de la Concepcion to Sevilla, then on to SdC. Would love more details and photos, if you have them, of the Via Augusta. Congratulations on your pilgrimage.

Hi Kev & Kath,
I'm planning to walk Via Augusta in March next year. I have no problem with long stages and I prefer the quieter paths. I haven't been able to find many albergues. (I have just contacted the amigos for suggestions) Did you have to use hotels/pensiones a lot?
Thanks,
Digger

I've never heard of this Camino. Where did you find information?

Digger...yep...hotels and an AirBnB coming out of Seville to San Fernando (Day 1 for us was a short hop). We walked the Via Augusta during Semana Santa, and it was a challenge getting accommodation at that time. I didn't see albergues on this route. That aside, my wife and I would walk this path again in a heartbeat. Good luck and enjoy your planning phase...Buen Camino!
