    I agree! Juan Jose (Juanjo) was an amazing support when I contacted him recently to help a pilgrim we met on the Lana who had an accident resulting in a fractured foot. He organised local people to provide all the help needed to get the pilgrim back to UK. Can’t thank him enough.

    Albergue kitchens closed down

    We haven’t been full at all so far - most pilgrims seem to be heading for private rooms. There are 3 hotels in the village now and another private albergue. Probably more choice than when you were here? Tonight is our last night - we’ve really enjoyed it. Heading to Alicante tomorrow to...

    Albergue kitchens closed down

    Yes - me too 🤣. Very unusual to have such a big kitchen. We’ve had the fire going most nights. It’s been freezing here !

    Albergue kitchens closed down

    We are currently Hospitaleros in the Donativo Municipal albergue in El Burgo Ranero. The kitchen is open and the pilgrims cook enthusiastically every night. They are great at cleaning up after themselves and often improvise a shared meal ( we are not allowed to offer communal meals).

    LIVE from the Camino Starting the Olvidado on Sept 18 2019

    Hi Fred - Just a good idea I think. We walked in September last year and found that there weren’t many places open - particularly in the evenings. We stayed in lots of quiet villages. It’s a beautiful route- loved it. But be prepared not to meet other pilgrims. I have lots of notes etc - so...

    Historic way on the Norte from La Caridad

    I completely agree . We have just walked the historic route and it was really great. Very well waymarked, bars/restaurants along the way just where you need them and spectacular scenery along the ria and into the mountains. The albergues at Vegadeo and La Trapa were fabulous with wonderful...

    Great bar/restaurant in Cadavedo

    Strong recommendation for bar El Casino in Cadavedo - on the left as you enter the village just past the supermarket. Really great food at reasonable price in very friendly bar. One of the best meals we've had since leaving Basque Country.

    W . When we were there (about 3 weeks ago) it was closed. Maybe only open for group bookings?

    Hi Mike - we've just walked the Olvidado from Bilbao to La Robla then the San Salvador and have arrived in Oviedo about an hour ago. If you have any questions about Olvidado, please feel free to ask. Carry 2 days of food at all times and you should be fine 😄 It's a fabulous camino. We met...
