[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 886826, member: 537"] [USER=23967]@Magwood[/USER] has commented on this before, and I know we are now mid-Camino, but reading @Undermanager’s report made me think of starting dates. The differences between @Magwood’s posts and @Undermanager’s posts are pretty substantial. I believe [USER=23967]@Magwood[/USER] started at the end of the first week in April more or less, and [USER=46206]@Undermanager[/USER] in the first week of May. The month made a huge difference in terms of green fields and wildflowers. Weather too, but I know we can’t count on anything fixerd in terms of weather. Do those who have walked it think the sweet spot for this Camino is to start between say May 1 and May 15? Since Almansa is also on the Levante, I have been here! Having a castle to climb around is always a nice pick-me-upper and Almansa’s is small and just up a few steps from the center. And the town hall is baroque (I think), so @VN will have to avert her eyes, but I think it’s a nice public building. I slept in the convent and I had a room all to myself, while my French friends shared one. I know [USER=46206]@Undermanager[/USER] reported no place to wash clothes, but we were told we could go up to the top floor and wash and hang them on the roof. But yes he is right that you have to buzz in, which makes some poor nun walk down some stairs to open up for you. That always makes me feel bad.
