Am not Australian but there are a few folks walking around that time including me (UK citizen) though my exact final dates are tbc!Hi all, are there any Australians in this Via group who have walked or are planning to walk this Camino from Seville?
I’m planning March/April.

Thanks Graeme. I’m from the Sunny Coast. It would be great to have a chat about your walk to Salamanca. I’m waiting for Gerald Kelly’s book to arrive in the mail.I'm from near Brisbane. I walked Seville to Salamanca in April/May this year, and will (hopefully) return to complete this pilgrimage in April/May 2023. Happy to try to answer any questions you have.

I see you're a new member, does that mean this is your first Camino?
I am using Gerald Kelly and Wise Pilgrim. Both excellent.Good luck with your plans & I hope it works out well for you. What guide are you using?
Wow, Mundicamino, that's a blast from the past!I started walking Caminos 18 years ago & have walked several (8) including Catalan & French again…Barcelona to Finistere, 1300km.
I used to be on the Mundicamino forum.

Obviously you're an experienced hiker so you should be fine. The Via is quite challenging because of some long stages, lack of services, etc., but also because of its overall length.
I can send you links to download the guide in PDF format if you like. Just email me at caminoguidecontact@gmail.com
Of course! Send me a DM and we can chat.Would it be possible to have a chat about the VdlP. I'm waiting for Gerald Kelly's book (ordered 4 days ago) but am keen to start planning & would appreciate any advice/info you could offer.
Hi Gerald, would you mind if I also emailed you as above, we are thinking of walking Merida to SDC in March'23. TIAWow, Mundicamino, that's a blast from the past!

After three years of postponement I have finally booked flights to Seville and will start the Via de la Plata late April. Very excited !Hi all, are there any Australians in this Via group who have walked or are planning to walk this Camino from Seville?

That’s great news. Yeah.After three years of postponement I have finally booked flights to Seville and will start the Via de la Plata late April. Very excited !
Good luck with your planning and buen camino
Thanks so much for your enthusiastic response. I've imagined for a few years that the Via would be a very special Camino...and can't wait.Congratulations on choosing to walk the VdlP! We hail from Coffs Harbour, are Camino addicts and walked from Seville to Santiago in October 2019 over 6 weeks. We posted a "live from the VdlP" which you should find on the forum. Don't be shy to ask any questions of any of us as we all love to share our knowledge. The VdlP can be solitary at times but I found it the most memorable and rewarding. My one strong suggestion is to not miss staying at the Donativo run by Father Blass at Fuentarroble de Salvatierra. Looking forward to following your travels.
I will be walking the VdlP from Seville with my husband next year and would be interested to see your blog. We are from Western Australia and will try and walk slower stages. I’m also thinking of using FindPenguins so family and friends can follow our Camino.I had lots of support from Forum members; one even followed my FindPenguins blog becoming a valued virtual support and mentor along the way. I’m happy to share a link to the blog if you are interested.

Hi @rainforestgirl - I'm from rural Yallingup, WA, and am fairly well advanced in plans for my wife and I to head out of Sevilla on 16th Sept next year, arriving in Santiago in early November. I'm mostly using @geraldkelly's guide and also @wisepilgrim and Gronze for our planning. You'll of course will be well finished before we start, so I cannot offer any advice, but can offer buen camino support. I'll follow your blog if you post one.Hi all, are there any Australians in this Via group who have walked or are planning to walk this Camino from Seville?
I’m planning March/April.
Hi Clare - is there a "Starting in September 2023" thread somewhere? I searched but couldn't find one (probably looking in the wrong place). Or maybe I'm a little premature. Thanks.If you look at the "Starting in April 2023" thread here, you'll see several people starting the VDLP in April. The people starting in March can sign up here. Feel free to add a post with your date!
No, you are probably looking in the right place - all the active monthly threads are listed here in the "Introduce yourself or say Hello" section. We have been posting them only about 6 months in advance, so there aren't too many threads that moderators need to manage.is there a "Starting in September 2023" thread somewhere?
