First Night Back in Spain – Videos
It felt great to be back in Spain after 5 years away from the Camino. I flew from Sydney to Madrid with a very brief (22 hour) stopover in Dubai to do some work meetings. And the trip from Madrid went like clock work. A taxi to Atocha station and a very comfortable...
First Night Back in Spain
I arrived in Seville last night, and although very tired, I thought it would be nice to have a walk around and grab a snack before hitting the bed early. I have to say the whole journey has been excellent so far and I’ve been very lucky with all the transfers. I...
Around Hotel Simon in Seville – Videos
After arriving last night, I had a day off in Seville to look around and rest before starting my Camino. Hotel Simon is in a great location, just around the corner from the cathedral. I booked a brief tour through Viator which I have used many times before. The tour...
Gratitude and Guilt on the Camino
As I embark on this my 4th Camino some all too familiar feelings wash over me. The first one, of course, is gratitude. For me to undertake a journey like this, which this time is going to be about 10 weeks, requires enormous support and sacrifice from those around me....
Hotel Simon in Seville – VdlP Camino
So, on recommendation from Ivar’s forum, I booked at Hotel Simon, which is very central in Seville, and, in fact, very close to the cathedral. It is a very old building with a lot of Moorish influence. But of course, being an old building, there are lots of rattles...
Around Seville – Catedral de Sevilla & Alcázar of Seville
So, here are a few photographs of the cathedral and the Alcázar, which is the royal palace. So, this morning after my online doctor’s appointment and taking some antibiotics, I went out on a tour that I had pre-booked to look at the cathedral and the Alcazar. It is...
Day 1 – Seville to Santiponce – VdlP Camino Blog & Video
VDLP Camino Day 1. My first Camino day on the Via de la Plata (VdlP)! Very excited. I have been waiting years to walk this Camino. A short walk today, only 10kms, from Seville to Santiponce just as a warm up and to give me time to look at the Roman ruins at Italica....
Day 2 – Santiponce to Guillena – VdlP Camino Blog & Video
Camino Day 2 on the Via de la Plata (VdlP). A lovely walk in open countryside from Santiponce to Guillena that reminded me of the Meseta on the Camino Frances crossing the infamous Arroyo and rather a big lunch at the end of the day. I think most people walk from...
Water and Food Management on VdlP Camino
One of the things that I realised in researching walking the Via de La Plata is that you have to be much more careful about water management, and to a degree, food management. The reason for that, of course, is that the infrastructure is much more limited and...
