I don't think the OP is complicating things for her. Cadiz - Seville stretch is known as Via Augusta and is marked Camino although not very interesting as I remember from other members posts.If I wanted to see Cadiz and walk the VdlP, I'd stay three or four nights in Seville and use one of the days for a day trip to Cadiz. Simply put - I like Cadiz, but I love Seville. Plus the VdlP is challenging enough starting from Seville. Keep it simple would be my advice.
More info here:So I am thinking about doing the Via de la plata and would like to start in Cadiz. Has anyone walked from Cadiz Santiago or Muxia. I did the Camino Frances last year in September/October. I am thinking to do this camino in the spring. I would like to know your experiences and any advice you have. Thank you!
I think it would be interesting to walk from one coast to another
Entirely agree - I find it strangely exciting to start a camino by swimming out of the Mediterranean, eventually ending it swimming into the Atlantic.
I have to admit I didn't like the sound of the Vía Augusta from Cádiz to Seville as it's apparently very flat, so this autumn I hope to emerge from the sea at Tarifa, and then take a right turn to follow the Vía Serrana (also marked by the Cádiz Jacobeo association) through the mountains round Jimena de la Frontera and Ronda on to Seville and the VdlP.
Hope your sea to shining sea walk is as enjoyable as my last three have been.
Let me know what you decide. I am still in the dreaming stages but think that I will start in March or April!Hi, I am also considering the VdlP as my next camino from Seville and then walking the Sanabres to Santiago. Still doing research and considering either March or April start date. It would be nice to have company while walking since this route is less busy.
Lol, same here, thinking late March, since it is already warm in Seville, but it will be colder in the Mountains...Let me know what you decide. I am still in the dreaming stages but think that I will start in March or April!
Thank you for the reply. I am thinking maybe I will just visit Cadiz and then bus to Sevilla. I like that I could decide to change course and go through portugal instead, if decided. But I do love spain and enjoy being able to speak spanish. What did you like so much about the vdp? It is really drawing me for some reason. I could do the via del norte as well but it is not attracting me as much. I think you have to go with your feelings on these things.we loved the vdp and i am thinking of doing it again. Like you we were temped by the "coast to coast" aspect but when we looked into it the section from Cadiz was mainly road walking, with trucks, so we started in Seville. We did do another coast to coast walk when we started in Cartehenga... But that's another story.
Yes I agree, not very well marked when I walked, but a couple of things, the route on day one is not along a railway line but beside it and is well separated. The irrigation canals come later after Jerez.
