    Alternatives on the Camino Frances - 2 - PANTANO DE LA GRAJERA (after Logroño) > NAVARRETE

    A small correction is needed. Until 1988, there was an abundance of all kind of advertising panels along roads in Spain. At the time, these all had to go. There were protests against the Osborne panels. These were then finally allowed to stay because they were linked to the patrimony. The...

    Alternatives on the Camino Frances - 1 - LINTZOAIN > ZABALDIKA

    In September 2023, I walked the Camino Frances again after 12 years between St.-Jean-Pied-de-Port to Burgos. Between 2011 and 2023, I did other caminos mostly in France. I found that at certain moments the Camino Frances runs too much alongside busy roads. The N135 and the N120 are not your best...

    HELP -- From the Puerto de Pajares to the Pueblo de Pajares on the Salvador

    Hello Lainey, As we bought a drink in the bar at the Puerto de Pajares (I hope it still exists), we decided to walk on the right side on the N630. There is no space on the left side. We only walked at a moment when no traffic was coming from behind. There are 2 or 3 curves where you must pay...

    HELP -- From the Puerto de Pajares to the Pueblo de Pajares on the Salvador

    Just to be clear. I pasted Tia's picture and put it together with a little map I made in 2013. I don't think the situation has been changed since 2013. At the Puerto de Pajares, you have 3 options. 1) Follow the suggested path at point b (yellow dots) till point d 2) Follow the N630 on the right...

    Camino Lemovicensis / section Vézelay - Limoges / sept-oct 2016

    Member Connie reminded me I had the intention to publish the places where I stayed. Here I go. 1 Vézelay: Centre Madeleine: nice reception, each dormitorio (man & woman separated) has only 1 shower and 1 restroom. 2 Moulin de Merle: nice place, it's a small old castle with a Dutch family. I...

    Camino Lemovicensis / section Vézelay - Limoges / sept-oct 2016

    Hello Lesbrass, Thank you for the links. The first one with the pdf map "vaut de l'or" - has the value of gold. I will certainly study to see if there is a possibility to follow partially the suggested walks and to jump from one to the other. Also the second one "the voie verte" is very...

    Camino Lemovicensis / section Vézelay - Limoges / sept-oct 2016

    Hello person who lives close to St.-Astier, St-Astier is the next stop after Périgueux. It seems the walk between d'Anesse-et-Beaulieu and St-Astier is maybe rather boring along the D3 - D41. As the walk is only 21,5 km, maybe there is a possibility to extend it over the hills (red arrows on...

    Camino Lemovicensis / section Vézelay - Limoges / sept-oct 2016

    Hello Laurie and Purky, Thank you for your feedback. Yes indeed, the camino Lemovicensis and the camino Campaniensis (Rocroi at the Belgian border => Vézelay) are different then the Camino Frances. First of all, there are lesser pilgrims on the road. During Spring and Summer, you will meet...

    Camino Lemovicensis / section Vézelay - Limoges / sept-oct 2016

    Some rain heading to Les Billanges. I don't think the walk in this wood was the official road but it was shorter and much nicer. Direction the highest point of the Via Lemovicensis at St Goussaud Une lanterne des morts à St Goussaud

    Camino Lemovicensis / section Vézelay - Limoges / sept-oct 2016

    Direction St Priest la Feuille, normally along a D road. I searched my own through a forest with succes. Just before St Priest La Feuille, you can make a small detour to visit the dolmen. Direction Bénévent l'Abbaye Bénévent l'Abbaye
