[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 533750, member: 50859"] Hi, As for the asphalt, the Asociacones have done a fantastic work in avoiding the carreteras. Except for leaving cities like Alicante and Cuenca, there is not much of it. The Lana is very rural indeed! Although I had to take the carreteras instead of the rural tracks because of the rain the past week. The farm tracks were impossible to get through because of the mud. Belive me, I tried. I just sank through. So I stayed on every carretera I could... That was probably the beginning of my misfortunes... I will go and have a medical consultation now in the evening. They say it is closed but he will perhaps come down to see me if I ring the bell. According to the Lana guide, I am six stages from Burgos, where the Lana ends......... So I am a bit disappointed... Time is not a problem so I wish I can wait for it to disappear. I will see what the doctor says. I will urge ALL pilgrims who liked the Sureste or the Levante to walk this route. It is even MORE amazing. I thought this would be like a 3rd variant of those routes. It is NOT. As for the scenery, it has been fantastic. As I said, it is obvious that the Asociaciones have given it a thought: as much countryside as possible and beautiful hills, woods, fields. There has been a lot of variation in scenery from stage to stage that I don't recall from other southern routes. Highlights: the stage after Alpera and the stage before Cuenca. The infrastructure differs from region to region. Good and bad. Around Cuenca there is a sprinkle of albergues specifically for pilgrims. But the last week, where I am now, it is more like "Ayuntamiento lets you sleep on the wooden floor in some neglected building, no showers..." So I have relied on some casas rurales instead. Yesterday, just when it hurt the most, I thought I was back on The Salvador! The landscape was similar! I will try to post photos later! Byyyyye [/QUOTE]
