[QUOTE="peregrina2000, post: 764575, member: 537"] Hi, Anamaya, I have walked it three times, once in late Sept-early Oct., once in May, once in late June. I have walked it in four, five, and six days. The six day trip was a real luxury, so I could see Ender and co. a couple of times, in Poladura and Bendueños. Bendueños is an amazing albergue, the views are exceptional, the church has just received national protective status, the albergue itself is gorgeous. It may be too slow of a pace for some, but it gives you plenty of time to luxuriate in the beauty of the mountains. I think Poladura to Pajares may be only 14 or 15 kms. But it is the most stunning section for sure. Pajares to Bendueños is also short, similar distance, but there is also some elevation up and down. My favorite spot — I am a sucker for ancient churches, and the pre-Romanesque church at Santa Cristina de Lena is one of my all time favorites. It is up on a hill, in a totally tranquil place, nothing anywhere around it. The keeper of the keys lives nearby and will come up to open the church for you at any reasonable time she gets a call (though the the sign on the church door lists explicit opening hours, you should call her — and if you stay at Bendueños the night before, Sandra will call her for you ahead of time so she knows you are coming). For reasons I don’t understand, many on the Salvador find a way to avoid the 100 m (at most) ascent to see the church. The Salvador has got a steady stream of traffic now, in fact it may soon be reaching the definition of crowded, so you are likely to find others on the way. Buen camino, Laurie [/QUOTE]
