It comes and goes in that area of the Meseta, I seen it mentioned too many times over the years by various newbies to dismiss it as coincidence or posters attributing their ill health to something they have heard before about an area.
Sorry for posting this if there is thread elsewhere about Alvaro's most recent Camino on the Nascente, he started in Faro then walked along the coast to Tavira.
He is at the end of his time on that way and instead of following to the very end he is crossing over onto the Camino Estrella which...
Hope you have a great meeting, sorry I can't make it I will be working. I will be out in Madrid for St Paddies day and then hope to start my Camino a few days later.
Buen Camino to you all.
It's a crazy set up BF run, it's a pity there isn't some sharing system where cyclists could contact willing drivers of mobile homes to see if the bikes could be stored for the journey on the mobile homes or in them.
The Cabinillas albergue has said above has a microwave, some plates and cups. There is two refreshment machines one which does hot drinks, tea and coffee and then a refreshment machine which serves drink mostly coca cola zero or cans of Mahou, some sweets, in addition are microwavable meals, the...
Despite our efforts me and my partner can't help ourselves,it was going to be a 7 or 8 start but after leaving the Albergue just before 10 we eventually left the cafe near the Parador at 12.
We are on the river walk near Carbajal, we have just ignored the arrows next to the bridge which take you...
I had seen that it was recommended that you ring ahead on here, which we did today, they said peregrinos reception is between 4 and 6 tomorrow. We can't remember if there is cooking facilities there so might ring again in the morning just to check if there is, then we will be topping up at the...
We arrived in Leon today only to find private accomodation full, something about 'oposiciones' ( for teachers) taking place today and tomorrow in Leon and next weekend as well, + somewhere in there is the feria de Leon, I did not want to stay in pilgrim accommodation today but in the end it...
Thanks Nick, I'm on my way up from Malaga to Madrid, spending tonight in Segovia but should be in Leon for tomorrow. Your posts are very helpful for me, I might book accommodation all the way if it's going to be really busy.
Hope you keep well, these temps are unreal. I'm in Andalusia in the mountains and the sun is like a hammer, a maximum of 15 minutes outside for me at the moment. I have been in hotter but these rays seem to have extra oomph.
I can't remember but on the 1st day you have ' letterboxes' which include a stamp for your credential and a message book, there may be more letterboxes' now. And when I say letterbox it is out in the wilds and is easily visible.
Poladura is a must stop for us because of the distances involved if we continue, we used your guide in 2014 and it was exceptional, the only 4 variations from that walk that we might do are the river walk out of Leon, which wasn't given in 2014, then possibly turn left in Cascantes which adds...
It's ok part of the reason we swapped our dates is not to avoid you but to ensure other accommodation options are not too stretched by several people known to be starting at the same time + others not known who will definitely be on this Camino in a increasing busy probably record year. Me and...
Me and my Novia will l be on the San Salvador from the 18th next week, I was going for the 15th but after reading a few posts on here I realised it it was getting to be busy for that start. I flew into Madrid last Wednesday and there was another peregrino on the plane who I got chatting to, he...
