Like.
Exactly. A do-able challenge for anyone who is reasonably resourceful and flexible. -
Kev&Kath reacted to TravellingMan22's post in the thread Declining numbers recorded on the Via de la Plata with Like.
Thank you for this which is timely for me. I have had the VDLP planned in many times only to be cancelled but am planning it in April and keeping my fingers crossed! It looks fantastic contrast to the more publicised routes and a nice mix of...

Kev&Kath reacted to High Endeavours's post in the thread Declining numbers recorded on the Via de la Plata with Like.
I walked this route 11 years ago and for the longest time it remained my favourite Camino experience. Probably because of the people I met and have stayed friends with ever since. It was my first solo walk after having retired just 7 days before...

Kev&Kath reacted to Bradypus's post in the thread Declining numbers recorded on the Via de la Plata with Like.
It is not the relatively small drop in numbers which strikes me most forcefully. What really seems remarkable is that while numbers elsewhere on the Caminos have exploded those on the VdlP have been virtually static for so long. Particularly for...

I "think" I noticed some infrastructure improvements on my recent VDLP, namely on the Castilblanco de los Arroyos - Almadén de la Plata stage. That is the one on like day 2 or 3 out of Seville where you "used to" walk on the road for like 16 km...

Haha.
I think it is due to the thousands of cows loose in Extremadura! :) -
Kev&Kath reacted to Blister Bill's post in the thread Declining numbers recorded on the Via de la Plata with Like.
I think people may be getting out off by it being made out to be harder than it really is. I don't think it's harder physically than some and didn't think there was an issue with facilities. I didn't plan and went at short notice. The weather was...

Kev&Kath replied to the thread Declining numbers recorded on the Via de la Plata.It is really a wonderful thing that we are all so different! My wife and I completed the CP from Lisbon this year and, on reflection, we much preferred the open spaces, and simply wonderful pueblos and cities found, along the VdlP. Almaden de la...
