[QUOTE="StuartM, post: 142804, member: 21417"] Hi Folks, flights booked and plans laid and in about seven weeks I'll be in Leon ready to start. I've got eight days and my plan is Leon > La Robla > Poladura del tercia > Campomanes. In Campomanes I leave the trail and head west into the Ubina Massif and climb Pena Ubina, bivi on the massif somewhere then back to Campomanes two days later (a 50'ish km detour). Campomanes > Mieres > Oviedo with a day in hand in case weather holds me up in the mountains. I've got the CSJ guide and done a bit of reading on recommended websites but a few questions have occurred to me that I can't find an answer to: 1. What is it like for water fountains? I know the locals have a reputation for taking kindly to pilgrims but equally it's nice to not be reliant on others. 2. I read that there was a credencial specifically for the El Salvador. Where can I get one in Leon? 3. I also read (and can't find the link again) that there was a Compostela-like award available at the end in Oviedo. Anyone know where it is obtained and what the rules are regarding how many sellos are needed? How easy are sellos to obtain? 4. Which stretches really require you to carry food? How many days worth? La Robla to Campomanes looks fairly remote so I'm guessing that stretch needs self-sufficiency. 5. Most importantly... Can anyone recommend some [i]really[/i] good places to eat along the way? :) 6. Next most importantly... Can anyone recommend some good places to stay? I'm aiming to do a mix of albergues, hotels and bivvying. I might need a recommendation for a hotel in Oviedo too, I don't want to book it until I'm out the mountanins though. 7. Any interesting sights worth making time for along the way? 8. I'm going the last week in August. How busy is the El Salvador likely to be? 9. What to see in Oviedo? I've got the obvious places like the Camara Santa and the churches at Naranco. Anything else? 10. Are bugs (airborne variety, not the bed infesting kind) likely to be a problem? I'm hoping less so with the altitude. Thanks for any help provided. I can't wait, I'm really looking forward to it. Cheers, Stuart [/QUOTE]
