You captured the Sagrada Familia I experienced so well in your photos. What an amazing building. Your perspectives were wonderful.

winter walking
Sorry to take a while to get back to you on this but I have only just got back, I haven't walked in Europe that time of year - mainly because the weather - I'd expect it to be cold! We where wearing triple layers in the higher sections around Salamanca in late Sept! Check out the advise on the camino forum - www.caminodesantiago

One more for the road
Your slide show took me back, we did the same French route in 2004 and it was nice to see the open road again... oddly enough we are off again shortly to complete the English and Portuguese routes (from Ferrol to Lisboa). Good luck with the Via de la Plata, hope you love it as much as we did… we used the excellent Pili Pala guide on our 2008 trip but left it behind in Funte!

Dean & Bec
Hey congratulations on your blog and the walk. Bec and I did the route Fances last year and intend to follow you in April next. We recorded our in You tube if you search Dean & Bec Camino. Are you aware of a reprinted or updated version of the Travel Guide by Pili Pala Press fro this route? We took the Map guide from St Jean-Pied de Port to Finisterre and it was excellent. Good luck and will you be doing a simlar Camino soon? Dean

It's a great trip to walk (not just for bikers), but watch for the weather which does tend to turn in March.

Thanks!
Dear fellow pilgrims, thank you very much for sharing your experiences und picts! I will start the Via de la Plata Sept.1 and hope to do it in 5 - 6 weeks. So what you write is extremely helpful for me! I am only a bit afraid of the sun and heat in the Extremadura in September... All the best for you and your next caminos, Tom

Just do it.
Glad it gives you something to think about. While we are not as mature as you, we are also not super fit. Some of those we meet were in late 60s and walked similar distances to us each day. My Dad is due to turn 80 next birthday and one of my great regrets is I haven't been able to get him onto a camino - yet! He's always tramped and we still go on walks with him (some are on my blog). As you note, early starts and just getting on with it are the key, but you are right over the water issue as it is very isolated. Unlike the French route there also are not the number of towns and places to stop which does lock you in somewhat to the longer days. Still if you carry food and a bed roll you can sleep out safely and theres usually stock water to boil . We'd love to do it again, and probably will, but this year I'll be trying the Portuguese route (from Lisbon) with my daughter as we can't get away till November and I would only do la Plata in Autumn or early Spring as it's way to high and cold to contemplate a winter trip - or summer for that matter. I hope you give it a go.

daily distance!!
have been trying for two years now to kick start this route and between finance and health havaent made it yet!! your photos and comments were very helpful but at 72years old am gobsmacked by the distance u do each day. I settled for a leisurely 15 kms on the frances and portuguese routes and it does me nicely. I would prefer to bring my terra nova lite wt tent or bivvy bag than fork out for expensive (to me!) accomodation but it all boils down to water availability more than anything else. as to walking in the temperatures you mentioned that would be a no-no unless very early starts were feasible. i have a kelly kettle and am fairly self-contained so filtering and purifying water not a proble. many thanks.

Apart from the visit to Tartus and the temps this is pretty much exactly the route i have planned! Except that i'm taking full advantage of the sweet shops in the old Damascus Souq.
