Here is the latest coordinates of the Amigos of Sagunt as seen at the Tourist Office.
My Spanish is not good enough but maybe others inc @peregrina2000 will contact them.
Hotel Atalaya in Sarrion (where Alan Sykes stayed last autumn) finally answered my call… the hotel is ‘en reforma’ hence closed. This will obviously be the logical place to stay in future.
On another tack, I do recommend a very good read for hikers. I read it in French but have already bought...
Dear Laurie,
You have been and remain a total inspiration. Your help, your guidance, your insights and now your inner thoughts - I applaud it all… as I enjoy a cuppa thanks to your recommendation of a water heating coil!! (Sourced in Burgos in an old fashioned electrical repair shop).
Bless! I need training!! Feel just happy that I managed to download the relevant maps.
Stop press! No water en route today. The embalse the other day was dangerously low.
ps are you back in Champaign?
I am on the Camino de Sagunto (see my live thread…)
Third day in, have yet to meet a single peregrino. Fab food and accommodation and waymarking is good.
I highly recommend a little adventurousness - there are great alternatives to the Francès but you need resilience and not necessarily require...
The day after tomorrow, then Teruel
Tomorrow night - off-piste so not sure if I will head back to Barracas or find another way. Some light rain forecast…
Both of these get excellent reviews.
To each, his own.
So pleased I was happy to hike 6 kms post luncheon to arrive at a great place. Quiet, comfortable and welcoming. Dinner (for once) will be superb and breakfast also booked.
Sorted accommodation for tomorrow. Way off-track again but the only place on the Camino sounds dire...
A great day so far. My destination is always LUNCH as that is my main meal.
At the truckers stop in Barracas. THEY NO LONGER DO ACCOMMODATION in spite of the sign. Hence 6 kms after lunch ‘off-piste’ to El Toro. At least it should be open tomorrow Sunday for some croissant and coffee!
Lunch...
LOveryL! Actualy two day cumulative effort.
Still not great on Wikiloc… though I did manage to download all the relevant maps this year.
Accommodation issues already apparent.
Sarrion is proving difficult as the Hotel Alantaya is not responding. There is a possible roadside place beforehand used...
Jerica would have been a good space to explore. The food was EXEMPLARY. Serious eating. No dish of the day.. à la carte all the way.
Viver is really near but uphill. Quiet.
No idea yet where to stay tomorrow. I am way ahead as booked into Teruel for 21 May.
Walking much easier than...
I stayed last night at Hostal Millan near Sot de Ferrer minutes off the trail.
Perfect at Euros 33.Big bed, quiet, private bathroom, towels aplenty, air con. Good food. Breakfast bar open at 06.30
Great day.
Good birdsong, scents of figs, went west around the embalse of Jerica on the lovely...
Lovely Laurie! There were Galician scallops at the Valencia central market, at a price, and no shell in sight so point well taken.
Two grim meals and one fab on Valencia itself.
Great first day. After lunch s delightful disaffected train track made east headway. 30 kms with no sweat and a great...
En route! A perfect day. Blue skies and a breeze - I am pleased to have a chin strap though for those sudden gusts!
Marking much better than I expected.
Lovely baroque churches… market stalls and bars aplenty!
I took a Cercania (suburban) train from Valencia Nord. Bought a Renfe ticket...
Back at Camaleón Bar. Did not book but told that I had to vacate my table for 10.30 pm!!!
I have walked 18kms each day roaming Valencia. It is much more popular now and rightly so. Quite delightful.
Cooler with some cloud cover and a late afternoon breeze.
The Ayuntamiento is well worth a...
