I'm hoping to walk one section of the Mozárabe (Granada to Córdoba) and two sections of the Via de la Plata (Sevilla to Mérida and Salamanca or Zamora to Astorga) in February 2025.

This will be my 8th Camino journey. Although I've always gone on my own and don't mind walking alone I've also enjoyed walking with others.

So I'm wondering if anyone might also be walking the Mozárabe or Via de la Plata in February and might be interested in sharing all or part of the journey with me.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Hi, John! Great to see you will be walking the VdlP. We have a Boston Chapter Pilgrim who is walking it that month. Drop me a note via email, and I'll connect you. Joe C.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

First: To answer your questions: I walked from Almeria in late March: I had lots of sunny days, but they were very windy and ice cold: I got pneumonia after 6 days.

I also started (another year) from Sevilla late March, and had great weather and nice temperatures all the way to Salamanca.

So the weather will be what it will be...

The VdlP is a great Camino!

If I were you (And of course I'm not :)) I would just walk on from Salamanca (Great city; have a rest day there) to Astorga or Ourense, and save the last bit (from Ourense or Astorga) to SdC for later.

No matter what you choose, it will be a great walk. More lonely than the CF, but grand.

Good luck with the Mozarabe. That was a much more lonely walk than VdlP...😈

Merida is also a great rest stay: It was once a retirement town fo r pensioned Roman legionairs, and as such, it has magnificent Roman remains, well worth seeing and pondering over, not least this:
