[QUOTE="Bad Pilgrim, post: 891035, member: 50859"] Dang, [USER=70147]@AJGuillaume[/USER], you got ahead of me! ;) I was going to put out the same info here... It's from Kevin O'Brien's & Mueleman's english guide from the Lana (2018), which we should quote more often. Let me copy-paste what they say about the alternative (p. 7): [I]Paracuelos de la Vega to Monteagudo de las Salinas (18,4 km). One more short day, in partly forested tranquil country. Alternative to two short days, OR accommodation problems in Paracuelos de la Vega. Unfortunately this alternative entails tarmac all day on quiet roads, but it is much shorter, with a good stop in the middle. Walk out of Campillo de Altobuey following the road sign for Almodovar del Pinar. A side road leads up to the CM-211 which takes you directly to Almodovar (16 km) In Almodovar, large village, there are several restaurants and tiendas. From Almodovar the CM 220 takes you to the CM-2153 which takes you in to Monteagudo (11 km) Total for the day – 27 km.[/I] We're in the same time-zone, as you might have guessed! Happy New Year in about 8 hours 🍾 ! Oh no, drinks that vanish before your eyes when you are about to grab them!! What my nightmares are made of...! 😲 😂 Well, I never had a close encounter with it as in the video above. But coming from the hill where Paracuellos is located, it's more of a walk [I]down[/I] to the castle. This is actually one of the few castles that are not placed upon a hill high above the town *Almansa-styyyle* so it is not that difficult in terms of denivelation. Just that the path going there felt really primitive with rocks and pebbles strewn around. But it is quite short. Of course I am talking out of memory here: other Laners can correct me on this. Then again, the castle is placed upon its own (smaller) hill in the gorge, so some uphill walking must be requiered. Correct. In 2017 I only saw arrows taking me down to the bottom of the gorge and then passing by beneath the castle. I saw no other options. But in 2019 the arrows pointed straight towards the castle, as in Sara Dhooma's video. The association guide takes you in a whole other direction, to the left and at a safe distance from the castle. Oh well, I have never actually lost my way in this area so I think there is nothing to worry about. I would say that whatever alternative takes you down to the gorge is the best: nice, cool and poppyfied 🌺 in spring and early summer! [/QUOTE]
