Time of past OR future Camino
Want to walk Via de la Plata in the future.
When I walked the Camino Frances I got a midterm diploma in Sahagún. When I walked the Camino San Salvador I bought a "San Salvador" credential in Leon that was different from the "normal" credential.
Is there anything special about the Camino Via de la Plata that I should be aware of so that I can take home a special memory from there?
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
I think pretty much everything you can collect, if that’s what you want, is listed on Gronze here;


I don’t think there’s anything specific to the VdlP
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Yes, the spiritual memories as opposed to the physical object memories. The former are much more meaningful and long lasting. Chuck
 
Nope. The special thing about the Plata is the walk and all the towns and cities along the route.
Hi LTfit...I thoroughly enjoyed reading your Camino 'pedigree'. Some amazing travels/experience there. Off to Lisbon on Wednesday, but already thinking closely of next year's planned pilgrimage on the Del Sureste. I noticed you walked out of Alicante...so there may be some questions heading your way!! Buen Camino.
 
What's special about this Camino is its authenticity.

And it is something you can take home with you.
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.

I am looking at starting the VDLP the 1st week of March 2025. My plan is to start in Sevilla and walk to Astorga then back track and pick up the Sanabres to Santiago. I've got my gear weight down...
I hadn't realised there are thermal baths in Ourense. Looks like a few different ones. Are they worth a visit? Also, do you need to bring your own swimsuit? I carted swimming trunks all the way...
Having had the wonderful guidance from Nely on the Camino Mozarabe from Almeria, last year, I was wondering is there a similar Camino Angel in Seville for the Via de la Pláta?
Last winter I did the last 100KM of the Portugues between Christmas and New Year's. I enjoyed it a lot -- Spain definitely does this time of year right, and spending New Year's Eve in Santiago...
