    A detour to San Pedro de Arlanza

    We got most of this this all straightened out on the great Virtual Planning thread. The Lana comes into Santo Domingo de Silos, and from there goes to Covarrubias and on the Mecerreyes. But I do have a question, so bear with me, sorry. For anyone who wants to take a detour to visit the newly...

    Into Santo Domingo de Silos

    Some may have noticed that I am down in the Lana rabbit hole. :p I am hopeful that 2023 will be the year I finally get to walk from Alicante. It was planned for 2020, but that was a no-go. In 2021 and 2022, I could only manage a fall camino and I decided to save the Lana for a spring walk...

    From Covarrubias to Burgos

    Note to all — Thanks to a heads up from @C clearly, I realized that for many years I have been writing MeRcerreyes, when the proper spelling is Mecerreyes. I have gone back through all forum posts and edited every occurrence of “Mercerreyes” since it really did mess up with the search function...

    Sad Hill Cemetery

    I've just been watching a fascinating documentary on Netflix about the volunteer rehabilitation of this rather iconic film location, the final scene of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". I'm curious to know if anyone has visited this place, which is only about 5km from Santo Domingo de Silos...

    Question about Salmeron to Trillo, via Tetas de Viana - on the Lana

    Any thoughts about Salmeron to Trillo via Tetas de Viana in one stage? Salmeron - Viana de Mondejar - Teta Redonda - Trillo. Salmeron to Trillo appears to be circa 30 kms via the standard routing. Ascent and descent another 2 to 3 hours? Long day but possible? Much would depend on weather...

    LIVE from the Camino BP on the Requena (from Valencia) June 2022

    Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel! In less than a week I travel to Valencia to start the Camino de la Requena. It is an alternative to the Ruta de la Lana. The Camino de la Requena starts in Valencia and joins the Lana in Monteagudo de las Salinas. Why? Because the Lana is my...

    Walking the Lana from Villajoyosa: Updated Information for 2023 and Beyond

    Please go to my post of May 5, 2023, further down in the thread for the most recent updates. The polideportivos are open! There are several excellent threads (some live from the camino) and websites that provide plenty of information for people who might want to start the Lana in a less...

    Love it or hate it? - Capilla de San Olav | Covarrubias, Burgos

    The virtual pilgrims on the virtual Camino Lana have reached the Capilla de San Olav (Hermitage chapel of Saint Olaf) near Covarrubias. It has a Marmite reputation. How do you feel about it? (Poll closes in 7 days). Click here to see images. Click here for a description. Click here for...

    Sigüenza!

    The current virtual Lana thread is still very far from Sigüenza, but I wanted to plant the seed in everyone’s mind that taking the Sigüenza alternative about a week after Cuenca is the best choice by far...

    Alternative path from Santo Domingo de Silos

    This from another thread: OK, I can't resist, Laurie. This time you must go the long way from SDdS to Covarrubias! Of all the days I've spent on the camino, this is in the top 5. Up there with the Tunel San Adrian, Pancorbo, and going down to the Rio Miño and back up again. Somewhere I posted...

    Lana detour — Iglesia San Baudelio

    As I have started poking around my Lana route (hopefully I will start from Alicante in mid May), I see that a church that has been on my wish list for decades is about 35 kms from Retortillo. I think that is the closest that the Lana gets to it. San Baudelio is the church whose early...

    Tetas de Viana

    ...Lana so far. No real mountains, I know, but I am seeing a few alternatives that might be rewarding. I have seen both @BP and, I think @Kevin F. O*brien mention a little detour to climb up the two anatomically named peaks. Looks like about 400 m up. Wikiloc trails make it look very doable...

    LIVE from the Camino Villajoyosa alternative start to the Lana

    Rather than walking straight from Alicante, it is possible to start the Ruta de la Lana camino at either Benidorm (at the church of Santiago) or Villajoyosa, taking about 110km to join the main route at Villena. I started at Villajoyosa yesterday morning, after an hour's tram ride from central...

    Blondie, Angel Eyes And Tuco (Sad Hill)

    Of course I am referring to the film "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly" which was filmed in Spain. I am particularly interested in the "Sad Hill Cemetary " near Burgos which was constructed by Spanish soldiers for the climactic scene of the film. Has anyone made a side trip there, is it worth it...
