yes I went the Roman route and saw 2 other people the entire day (they were together) so I think it would be a long wait between pilgrimsIts not much of a dearth is it? Last time I looked El Burgo had two Albergues and three hostels. 13 km down the road poor benighted Reliegos can but boast six Albergues, shopping opportunities and one of the most remarkable(?) bars on the Camino Frances. Anyone setting up a facility between those two might find themselves scratching for a living.
Now, if you're walking the 'Roman' route from Calzadilla it is a hard-core 24 km before you'll get your first cold beer (unless you divert to Reliegos) but even in that scenario I find it hard to imagine how any facility would facilitate its own existence.
Sadly, Bar Elvis was closed the day I was there.one of the most remarkable(?) bars on the Camino Frances.
I agree, I dont think I'd do it again, it was a long slog, hot, no shade, no water and no arrows which was disconcertingIF...you do take the "scenic " route to Calzadilla de los Hermanillos, be prepared for a long, solitary slog there and an even longer one the next day to Reliegos, where there's not much of anything. Mansilla de Mulas is a better stop than Reliegos, where there's a nice, very friendly Albergue Gaia with an attached bar and good beer.
Oh Dear! Does it close regularly, on a specific day of the week? I missed it last time, myself, and don't want to miss it next time!Sadly, Bar Elvis was closed the day I was there.
