    Kevin O'Brien 2018 guide to the Lana, in English

    Wow Kevin - this guide is outstanding. I'm hoping to walk the Ruta de la Lana with my son this spring. Depending on how much time I can get off work, I may need to start from Cuenca. Having got most of my information from Spanish sites, mostly outdated - it was a real gift to get your updates...

    Highlight Sections (???)

    Hi John, I would be curious on your take from Salamanca also. I'm debating on where to start and was considering Salamanca, but maybe I should do the same as you did - and just start from Seville and go as far as I can..... Thanks, JOhn P.

    Highlight Sections (???)

    Hi All - I was wondering if you could give me the sections of the via de la plata that stand out in your mind as highlights - Seville to Zafra?, Salamanca to Zamora?, Puebla de Sanabria to Gudina? - etc. (I'm just pulling those out of my hat) - and maybe a description as to why. Towns? -...

    Journey info between Salamnca & Astorga

    Skye, Thanks for the additional info. It's very helpful - and I'll load it into the mix of my decision making. Now, one of my biggest concerns is the plummeting dollar value against the euro - ouch! John P.

    Journey info between Salamnca & Astorga

    Hi William - You guys (and others) have me thinking..... I'm very slow, maybe I should just start earlier in the Via de la Plata and END in Astorga. For this trip I wouldn't have the pushing on to get to Santiago and I might avoid some overcrowding (wow, who would have thought that the last...

    Journey info between Salamnca & Astorga

    Thanks Marcus! - The information was very helpful. The refuges on the Camino Frances were very full? Was it miserable for you? Also, how far did you have to walk along within sight of the new freeway that they were building after Salamanca? Thanks again! John P.

    Can anyone share their experience between Salamanca and Astorga? I'm hoping to take that route next Dept/Oct. Many take the beautiful Ourense route.... but what can I expect cutting up through the maseta to Astorga? Thanks, John P.

    Footwear Question

    Here's my two cents (for what it's worth: I put a thin layer of patroleum jelly over my feet (inbetween toes too) and then put on a thin synthetic sock liner - which I then slid into a heavy cotton sock. At the end of my walking day I'd wash my feet then rub them with ISO alcohol. Managed...
