I'm just back from the Camino del Salvador and will give a small report of my journey.
I decided to do it in five stages and stay in private accommodation.
My first stage was Leon to La Robla. I followed the river path all the way to Carbajal...
Thank you all for the help and advice. Unfortunately it looks like my Salvador will be delayed or cancelled. Currently holed up in a hotel in Leon with fever, tonsillitis and no voice. We‘ll see what happens over the next few days or if we just...
"We" are also starting from Leon on Thurs! and staying in Cabanillas... then Buiza.

Your Salvador itinerary is what I did in 2019. I stayed in municipal albergues each night. For updated information on lodging check the Gronze website.
La Robla had restaurants and grocery stores. I did stock up with food to carry as there is...
Thanks for the discussion.
Casa Alba sounds lovely. We will decide while on the way and maybe stay in Mieres-Hostal or University.
The start date is getting nearer. I have just received my Altra Lone Peaks! My kind of walking shoe...
I think the old (sketchy) albergue is being replaced by a nice new one and the university residence rooms are a stopgap. I'm not knocking Mieres, but I was with a little group of pilgrims who had just had a wonderful experience staying together...
