Via de la Plata, October 2023.
Hola Via de la Plata, here I come. It is always a great feeling to start a new pilgrimage. Started from Seville. Had no high expectations but I was wrong. The landscape of the first third of VDLP was warying. The first week was very hot but normalized later on. I met many other interesting pilgrims and enjoyed various discussions in the evenings. After walking for 15 days and about 330 kms I ended up in Canaverall.
