Somewhat Covid-delayed, September 2023 will see Janet and me stride out from Sevilla for the 1,000 kilometre journey to Santiago de Compostela along the Via de la Plata (shown in purple).

​

The purple route takes us from Sevilla to Granja de Moreruela, where we will divert left onto the route called the Camino Sanabrés (shown in blue).

​

This will be our third "big" walk, after the Camino Frances in 2015 and the Camino Portuguese in

​

Of course, to partially misquote good old Bobby Burns, "the best laid plans of mice and men"may intervene, but assuming not, key dates are:

​

• 16th Sept 2023 (two days after my birthday), depart Sevilla

• 13th Oct, arrive Salamanca, roughly the half-way point

• 19th Oct, join the Camino Sanabrés.  We'll have covered a little over 600 klms by then

• 7th Nov, arrive into SdC, 53 days since we first left Sevilla

​

I plan to post regular updates on my blog, here.
