[QUOTE="Sheffield James, post: 620087, member: 23079"] On Day5 out of Pamplona, I decided I needed just one more day on an established camino, so I walked another 18kms to the city of Miranda de Ebro, where there was sure to be a tourist office to assist me with my Viejo planning. I’m not sure that I took the correct path out of La Puebla de Argazón in the morning, as I had to cross some railway lines 500ms after leaving the Panaderia in order to reach the carretera. Turning left at the first roundabout, there is a short climb before the path turns into the countryside Not much later, I dropped down under the Autovia in the direction of Armiñon. Soon after, there are two options for Miranda, with one shortly longer than the other. I chose the shorter option + was happy with my choice until the final approach to the city. This route ended in an industrial park, at what appeared to be the far end of the town, with no onward signage. To get to the pilgrim albergue, I needed to go to the main road, turn left and follow the traffic signs to the Centro Urbano. In 15mins or so, there’s a junction with a sign to the historic centre. Out of nowhere, the yellow arrows re-appear here (maybe linked to the longer of the two alternative routes) and you are quickly directed through a small Cervantes plaza to the albergue. If you cross the river bridge towards the castle, you’ve gone too far. The albergue is excellent. It has a modern, renovated look and provides WiFi and a washing machine (with detergent) you can use without charge. There is a very attentive hospitalero, who comes once you’ve phoned the telephone number on the front gate. All for the princely sum of €6!! I spent a chunk of the afternoon at the tourist office. I was given excellent service by the guy on the desk, who searched assiduously a range of brochures and the internet to plot a walking route - from Miranda to Aguilar de Campo - as close as possible to the general direction I’d outlined to him (from forum contributions). The only thing he struggled with was lists of accommodation options along the route. That would be my job! So, tomorrow (Saturday) I’ll be striking out on the next phase of the Camino Viejo. Given the fact most of it will be travelled on roads rather than country lanes and paths (having no detailed maps, an aversion to tech apps, etc), perhaps it should be known as the Camino Viejo Asfaltado!!
