Where do you start?Our plan, me and my significant other, is to start the VdlP from mid March after walking the Via Serrana.
Where do you start?
Start previously on 13th, finish in Salamanca around April 8thMid march 2020 I will start in Sevilla for Salamanca.
Anybody else starting on the via at this time?

Yes, these are probably the incidents of several years ago, which seem to have a lasting effect on the reputation of that first stretch.Heard of possible instances of theft In Andalucia
Hi Robo. I hope the health issues will be sorted very soon. I always enjoy reading your contributions. I had a some lingering health issues myself this year so I couldn't go. But thinking about Autumn 2020 now. Sending you best wishes pilgrimI wish I could. I had planned to. But some major health issues to fix first!
Given 2021 is a Holy Year.
It will probably be 2022 for me........

Hope things are looking up for you health wise! So not related to this thread but kind of: What are the implications of walking the VDLP on a holy year? Because 2021 was my target for this route

A Holy Year means a huge increase in Pilgrims.
Dear Elisabeth,
Robos statement is valid mainly on the CF and mainly on the last 100 km. The VdP is different.
I walked the last Stretch of the VdP (Camino Sanabrés) in late May/June 2010 and did never have any problems to find a bed, not even in small places like Lubian, even though my parents who joined me then were not really "early birds" and rarely managed to start before 8 o'clock in the morning.
I would try to avoid peak season (March/April) which is already crowded in "normal years" and not worry too much.
BC
Alexandra
From what I have heard - yes. In September, I had a chat with the hospitalera at the Rehoboth albergue in Vilar Farfon. She described a Spring peak for pilgrims who followed VDLP from the south (timing depends Easter dates) then a drop off in mid-summer and a smaller peak in the fall.Is March/April the 'peak' for VdlP?

HI pilgrim! I think your post belongs more in the Camino Frances threads, as one of the common start points of the Camino Frances is SJPP. Which is actually not even on the Camino Via de la Plata! I hope you have a wonderful walk!I have just booked my ticket from Toronto, Canada and plan to start the walk from SJPP around the 10th or 11th of April. I arrive in Paris on April 8 and have not yet booked my train ticket. My plan is to walk the entire route in 5 to 6 weeks. I have allowed some extra time as I like to stay a few days in some places. This will be my first camino although I did complete the Inca Trail in 2015. I am doing the walk alone and hoping to find lots of great information on this blog.
Thank you. I am new and actually did figure this out when I searched the acronym. I have been looking at the other sites.HI pilgrim! I think your post belongs more in the Camino Frances threads, as one of the common start points of the Camino Frances is SJPP. Which is actually not even on the Camino Via de la Plata!

Moderators, can you consider moving this bit over? Thanks!
Hi cherPlan to arrive Merida on April 5 and begin walking on April 6. In the spring of 2017 I walked from Seville to Merida and want to take up where I left off.
Hi cher
Great time for Mérida as 2020 Holy Week starts April 5
Not sure if your finish there in spring 2017 was during the Semana Santa but I was in Mérida last year (2019 ) during that period and stopped for 2 nights. As you know there is so much to see there anytime but the night processions during Semana Santa are wonderful.
Buen camino.

Start in Primark. It's cheaper.I plan to start in Zara about April 16 and walk to Salamanca.
You’ll love it. Although the intention to spend 2 weeks at spanish classes sounds good . Unless you have enough time or intend to do the Vdlp in sections ; I’d suggest it would be less stress to just start walking. You could still visit Malaga first but head out sooner. Try to practice as you walk though. (Unless you’re a wizz kid you won’t end up fluent in 2 weeks ) - on the road chatting to locals can be really helpful for your language learning.I'm planning on going sometime in March - starting in Seville and going all the way through to Santiago via Astorga. It's not my first Camino, but it is my first VdlP. I'm trying to juggle 2 weeks of language classes in Malage beforehand, but I'm worried about how much time I'll have!
I’m not too concerned with cheapness, but I don’t See anyplace called Primark.Start in Primark. It's cheaper.
Hi @ritaj
I hope ‘if’ becomes a definite ‘going ‘. What day in March would you expect to start walking from Rio Negro?
I’ll be around there approximately 22nd March ‘give or take ‘.
Annie
So sad that we will be behind you. We just made reservations for April 1 to fly from Boston to Madrid, then take a bus to Benevente and hopefully get there in time to get a bus to Rio Negro. If anyone has a better way of doing this we'd love to hear about it.
So I guess we'll start walking around April 3 (or 4th if we don't make the two buses in time).
I’m not too concerned with cheapness, but I don’t See anyplace called Primark.
So happy for you! Glorious walking temperature!! / on the ground weather info is good to go by / my app predicts rain for Saturday ? You’re at the source tho and sounds great. Just have your gear handy.Fine weather in Sevilla! 14°C today, ascending next days.
Yippeeh!

I am leaving Seville on 21st March. Buen Camino!Hi, Im about to make bookings to start Via de la Plata in early April and would like to know if many others are leaving Sevilla around that time , always useful to know that fellow pilgrims are about in time of need.
Looks like I'll be leaving Seville on or about the 20th of March! Can't wait!I'm planning on going sometime in March - starting in Seville and going all the way through to Santiago via Astorga. It's not my first Camino, but it is my first VdlP. I'm trying to juggle 2 weeks of language classes in Malage beforehand, but I'm worried about how much time I'll have!
Maybe we will meet then!Looks like I'll be leaving Seville on or about the 20th of March! Can't wait!
Hello I plan to leave Seville April 25/26.
That would be great! I'll have a purple backpack with a Camigas and a Canadian Company of Pilgrims patch. Come say hi if you see me on the trailMaybe we will meet then!
Are you finding lodging without reservations?I started the Plata from Sevilla on Monday. Great warm weather the first 2 days. Today misty and cool, perfect for the climbs through the national parks.

In the end we started in Cadiz to do the Via Augusta on 4th March.From Sevilla with my partner around 8/9 March, we hope.
You experienced coronavirus symptoms and took a flight? Did you take any advice from a healthcare professional or other authority about doing that?I started from Sevilla on March 13th. After two days, in Castilblanco, CV came over me and several other pilgrims. All albergues and hostales werde closed.
Three of us were happy to stay overnight in a hotel which was still open and well equipped with WLANand to get flights home before the frontiers were closed. So things went well for us.
One younger pilgrim, Jan from Germany, decided to go on. Does anybody know anything about him?
How is he now? Safe and sound, I hope, in best case: He changed his mind, escaped and is at home now.
