I am currently working as a Hospitalaro in a newly reopened Donativo Albergue in Vergen del Camino, just a short distance from Leon. It was closed for 5 years due to, initially the pandemic. It is sparkly clean and looking for wayward Pilgrims
Yes thats right. We where adviced to only follow old arrows after. Sometimes local shops bars paint yellow arrows to lead you to their spots. Detours etc. Still the via dl plata is a long and lonely one. I hope it is safe enoug.
Correct, we all where surching along the way...so sad and to know we walked just a few meter from where she was found. Stay on the old signs. Because detours lead you to bars, shops and so on. Just stay allert and enjoy the walk
My reaction was the same! I slept in the muni in Casar de Cáceres twice and since free - yes free, there was not even a donativo box! - I didn't feel I had a right to complain.
Both times walking the Plata my stage was Casar de Cáceres to...
The albergue at Casar de Cáceres is new and next to the pool. There are cafes across the road. Last year there was nothing between Casar de Cáceres and Canaveral so it would be walk, taxi or train from Cáceres to Canaveral in the early morning.
I stick to my first plan and leave from Salamanca. I believe to have read its a long stage? Is there possibiliy to cut the stage, for its the first day of walking? And another question about the Gronze app, is it only in Spanish written?
On arrival in Casar de Cacares I walked into the private albergue near the pool, to be told very quickly that the municipal albergue was at the other end of town. Whether they were fully booked or did not like the look of me I don't know, however...
