    LIVE from the Camino Camino Allerano Boñar-Figaredo

    Those are the tracks I used, the list from his web site and that you linked to. I figured as he did it in January that the overgrowth wouldn't have been there! The road walking was an okay alternative, as I was not up for bushwhacking that day! I used roderosky's track as a backup that day...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Allerano Boñar-Figaredo

    Felechosa to Moreda, my third etapa. I was a bit sluggish today. Felechosa opens late on Sunday, so I was going on a Coke Zero instead of a café con leche…ah well. It starts out on a paved rural track that goes to the first village, El Pino. Saw a lovely building that would make a great...

    Pics for the Puebla de Lillo to Felechosa etapa. It’s hard to choose just a few!

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Allerano Boñar-Figaredo

    Quick update for Day 2 as bad wifi connection and I am super tired after 33 Km, 800 ascending metres and 1200 descending metres :) Just gorgeous all the way along. First part was on a PR trail out of Puebla de Lillo, then another one through amazing mountains (shocked myself on the electric...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Allerano Boñar-Figaredo

    (Note to Mods: Feel free to move this, especially if this Camino takes off and gets its own forum. As it’s a variant of the San Salvador I posted it here.) I survived the first day! I had breakfast at Cafe Viejo around 7:30 this morning in Boñar after staying in Hostal Nisi. Walked a bit over...

    Olvidado accommodation

    Ok, so just have to recommend Hotel Rural Orquídea in Velilla del Río Carrión to anyone doing 10B. I’m staying here tonight and the owner (la dueña) Anna Maria is one of the kindest and most welcoming people I have met on any Camino. She offers a pilgrim discount. Decent room, but it‘s all about...

    New variant for the Salvador —Camino Allerano

    Ok, at the moment this is a go starting next Friday (unless the weather forecast changes, which, being in León and Asturias, is apt to do). Have the tracks on Wikiloc ready! Have reservations at hotels/hostales/pensiones in Puebla de Lillo and Felechosa and somewhere before Mieres. Starting...

    The Unmarked Variant between Briviesca and Monasterio de Rodilla

    After a meh day between Pancorbo and Briviesca, I decided to try the unmarked variant mentioned on Gronze today. I found a couple of tracks on Wiki and went for it. It was incredible and worth it! When leaving Briviesca, take a right at the sign that says to go straight to Valdazo and Reinoso...

    Alternative Route down from Portillo San Miguel (Vitoria Gasteiz - La Puebla de Arganzon stage)

    Thanks for this. I used it today with no problems at all! My knees are grateful.

    List your pilgrim blog URL here - We want to read your story

    It's not just for the Camnino, as I write about travel (most of it is Spain though), but I do have a LOT about my times on the Camino with separate pages for the Camino del Norte, San Salvador, Primitivo, Aragonés, Invierno and my day hikes on the Levante from València. I'll be updating it with...

    New variant for the Salvador —Camino Allerano

    Thanks so much for the info! It'd be a great detour for people starting this Camino in León, but direct from Boñar to Puebla de Lilla, it looks to add a lot more kms. Although I think it would be possible to go from Boñar to Valdepielago, go to the waterfall, and then go to Noceda de Curueño...

    New variant for the Salvador —Camino Allerano

    I've found pensiones and hoteles on Google Maps for Puebla de Lillo and Felechosa, sort of on the expensive side for some Camino budgets though. There is an albergue juvenil in Bustiello between Moreda and Ujo, and a hotel in Figaredo. I'll post all of the options/prices later as I'm figuring...

    New variant for the Salvador —Camino Allerano

    That's great news! I had found the tracks but wasn't sure if they were the most updated ones. Thanks for the links! I'm studying them closely...challenging but in a good way. I'm really tempted to try this out and be a guinea pig and report back here, of course. Did some hikes in Colorado in...
