VdlP April 2025

[ChappyNS]

Hey everyone. My plan is to walk the VdlP from Seville to Santiago via the Sanabres commencing 10 April (plus or minus a day or two). This will be my 4th camino and I'm really looking forward to getting away from the "busy" Frances and Portuguese ones.

That being said, good company is always good! So if you think you may be walking the VdlP around the same time frame, feel free to drop me a line! (Mark from Canada)

Hi Chappy
You’ll find enough company walking out of Sevilla at your chosen date. (Or at least further along the way / but not crowds !!!).
There will be many preparations in Sevilla before you leave there as Semana Santa 2025 starts 13 April.
It is a great time to walk on the Vdlp - you will find most villages etc will have their own Easter processions etc. Many people around in the evenings. The procession in Mérida was wonderful.
The spring flowers will greet you along the way too.

Buen camino

Edit: not a bad idea to get your Sevilla accommodation chosen due to the closeness to Easter / it’s a popular destination at any time of the year.

Hi Mark. I am hoping to do the VDLP from around middle of April, although it’s proved to be elusive so far as everytime I have it planned something else comes up to stop me!!! But if all goes well I hope to travel from south of France to Seville on 11 April, so would start on 12th! I have actually done the first stage before (on a long weekend in Seville when I wanted to get away from the crowds) but my knowledge beyond that is limited! I normally turn up and walk (Frances, Norte, Portuguese), at a moments notice without any prep at all, but I know I need to ‘up my game ‘ for his one!!

I am a slow walker but can crack on the with the KMs so will try and catch up with you!
