[QUOTE="markss, post: 69919, member: 8368"] Allow me to clarify my earlier post. Both the routes are nice. Having walked each of them however I came away with a personal preference that, given a choice I would always opt for the one going through Villamayor. When I say I erred or made a mistake, the mistake was in unintentionally going the trail I did not plan to go. That does not mean that there is anything about the alternative trail itself that would make walking it a mistake. You really can't go wrong on either of the routes. That is unless like me you are not paying attention to arrows and get misdirected. The stunning photo posted by Mike certainly attests to the beauty of the alternative route. In October 2010 when I walked the trail that travels through Luquin, the church was closed and locked. I cannot recall anything particularly distinctive or inviting about the village but that is not to imply any negative impression. Again I just enjoyed walking through the village of Villamayor more than Luquin. I'll even go out on a limb and guess that people who may have walked both routes would agree with me. Repliers: Please don't shoot me if you do not agree. It is my opinion based on my experience! Perhaps if for no other reason than to satisfy curiosity it is worth your while to go the alternative. How's all that for a contradiction! So much for clarity. In any event ... Buen Camino! [/QUOTE]
