    Camino de la Vera Cruz

    I am wondering if anyone has any information re this route. My friend has read of a route from Puenta la Reina de Navarra to Caravaca. She would like to cycle it. Is there a guide? Don't suppose there are many, if any, Albergues. Gracias.

    Spring landscape in EL CAMINO

    Almond Trees in Aragón Hola, Can anybody tell me the stage of the almond blossom in Alto Aragón? I am told the ancient stepping stones (three tier) near Castiello de Jaca have been washed away. What a loss. Wonder how old they were? Gracias, Eleanor
