Chris Day replied to the thread Monasterio de Santa Maria de Carracedo.I’m curious about this, as I’ve never taken the detour. Are there any views on making the detour after Camponaraya to visit Monasterio de Carracedo and then rejoining the main route again? Is it worth it? …and is it a road route from the main...
