Hi K1, I made my slow way to Sahagun and, as planned, stopped there. This was always going to be a short walk as I had already spent some time on the Lycian Way. I really liked this camino. It can be solitary, I saw fleetingly one other pilgrim, but compendsation is that as a solo traveler you tend to be more in contact with the local people. Others have commented that this camino is not that well recognized, and you don’t get many “Buon Camino” greetings, but you do get a lot of friendliness and generosity of spirit from the locals – I loved it.
The route was generally well marked, though sometimes the arrows were small and not where I expected to see them. I had your notes which helped me avoid a few problems, and also a map of the route on my tablet. The map wasn’t 100% accurate but was very useful nonetheless. Accommodation was plentiful and excellent.
A good way to finish this camino is to call in at the Convento de San Fransisco just as you enter Sahagun. From the path you can’t see the door so it is not evident that the building is open. It has recently undergone lot of reconstruction and is beautiful.
Enjoy the Levante……………..Donovan
