[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 887641, member: 50859"] After plowing through the Lana blogs, I think I can say that this is objectively considered a Pretty Stage. It's not breathtaking like, for example, the Mandayona-Sigüenza stage, but it is certainly beautiful. I believe this is because it is different from the previous ones. There are more hills and more greenery than on any stage since Alicante. As for the gradual uphill according to [USER=38350]@VNwalking[/USER], it is indeed gentle. Only the last part before Alatoz does it become noticeable. I agree with [USER=9811]@alansykes[/USER] that the marking is excellent most of the way. A heads-up for the spot "6" if you're following the maps from the Asociación: "6 Km: – Justo al inicio de una curva a la derecha, salir a la izquierda por un estrecho sendero [B]apenas perceptible[/B]". There is a narrow path [B]barely visible[/B] at the curve, and if you don't pay attention you'll be continuing on the larger road in the wrong direction. Not that [I]I [/I]would ever get lost... But I've heard of others who did... You know what I mean! 🤭 Guides say no water. But on the last third or something, where you can spot cottages further down the valley, there is at least one source pouring from the hills next to the Camino. Last time, a boy was collecting water in his bottles when I walked by. I took that as proof that there was no danger drinking it. And I am still alive! I found zero supermercados in Alatoz. I looked up the only one "Juan Carboneras Piqueras" on Google maps because I was starving. All that popped up was a photo of a bricked wall. Try it for yourself! Juan needs to learn about advertising. I went there and it was indeed a blind alley. I had to rely on the two bars in town (the third one, bar La Plaza, was temporarily closed), but they serve their meals sooo late in the evening! I say, bring something from Alpera if you don't want to go hungry. As for cold showers, they are an abomination and should be banned by the European Court of Human Rights. If you are a lone male pilgrim and have the albergue all to yourself, I suggest that you sneak into the women's showers where there is hot water. The albergue is nice though. Just make sure that the hospitalero gives you the right set of keys, or you will be locked out for some hours until evening...! 😄 Oh, it all turned out well in the end! 🤗 [/QUOTE]
