Via de plata Sept 24

[Paul Keating]

I will be arriving in Seville on Sept 23 and starting my Camino on the 24th. I am very excited and a little bit nervous. I am coming from northern California. I do have some questions so I am looking forward to hearing from others who may be on the route or who have done it in the past.

What are your questions?

 

[Paul Keating]

I will be starting from Seville on the 24th or 25th of Sept.

I would like to be fairly self contained. Is is feasible to sleep out on the route.? How available is potable water? Is camping gas (the kind in canisters ) readily available in Spain.?


I will be making a reservation at Traina Backpackers Hostel. Is this a good place to start and obtain my pilgrim credential.?

I know nothing about camping on the VdlP. I guess it would be possible but not sure if it is welcomed by the local authorities. I expect you could buy the gas in a fereteria, which you will find in some towns.

There are not many fountains on the route, but you can ask for a refill in bars that you use.

Hopefully someone else can give you a more helpful answer.
Buen camino!
