Time of past OR future Camino
Pamplona to Burgos in 2012, Frances in 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018 and half in 2019. VdLP in 2020!
I've tried to stay over several Caminos but either I've missed it or it hasn't been open. Is it open yet? I'm almost there and I'm trying to figure out my timing.
 
The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

Hola @TaraUltreia I have by-passed this lovely spot twice- it just did not fit with my timetable. I think it should have opened either April 1st or May 1st. If you PM @Rebekah Scott she should be able to confirm details. Buen Camino;)

Rebekah (along with Robert Mullen) wrote a very informative small booklet about the history of the Convento de San Antón. I think it may have been a limited run, but if anyone is interested in reading about this magical place, you could p.m. her regarding availability.

Hola @jmcarp;
Yes it was a limited run - if you donated to the cost of beds & mattresses a few years back a copy of the booklet was your reward. I often re-read mine.

And another attempt looms, to buy a decent Poncho after trying and failing in the previous two likely towns. Anyone know where an Altos or similar might be bought in Leon, please? 😁
