A Guide to the Via de la Plata

Join me on a 1000km journey that runs the length of Spain and leads to the ancient pilgrim mecca of Santiago de Compostela. One of the longest Caminos, the Via de la Plata is a challenge with much reward.

I am comforted by the idea of leaving in the early Spring from real southern Spain by your video..especially concerning the heat.

Very helpful thanks Cole.

You're welcome - buen camino !

[@richardkelly1124]

excellent video thanks- i’m going to walk this after watching- instead of just repeating the frances which i was very tempted to do.

[@colesushi]

Buen camino and I hope the weather is kind!

[@kitty_s23456]

Thanks for the vid! If I were to walk this route, I'd choose the Sanabres to avoid the crowds from the Frances route. Cheers!

[@colesushi]

Fair enough! Although Astorga is well worth a visit at some point!

[@user-cq5rh8hi5i]

Is there a lot of walking on asphalt?

[@colesushi]

Hi, I don't remember so much asphalt walking... certainly not as much as on the Norte.
This is a good thread on the subject- www.caminodesantiago.me/community/threads/pavement-on-via-de-la-plata.42884/

Would September still be too hot for Via de la Plata?

[@colesushi]

It would be too hot for me. I would check average temperatures for Seville to see when it's cool enough to start

[@vialavida8172]

thank you!@@colesushi

It’s pronounced Camino Francis not Camino France.
