    At Luco de Jiloca. Teleclub Bar is open… and has sidra on tap! Nothing to eat however.. Only one flecha noted on leaving Calamocha. A hot, humid day. I soon opted for the railway/cycling track. Trees lining the route on both sides, the river meandering by. Sensational bird song and scents.

    Aniñon does produce a possibility! Please see attached.

    I have just done some more research on the Albergue in Cervera de la Cañada and attach a Google review… I booked my route due to the uncertainty, seconded by Alan Sykes aborting his own attempt and locating the via Kunig as an alternative.

    I should add that this is a moneyed locale. There are some very good individual, innovative houses around the park area. The odd one had a touch of ‘Mon Oncle’ about it! (… don’t ask if you don’t get it!)

    I did the rounds of Calamocha ‘ville’. Everything is here inc a train station on the N234. A mega Dia. I had hoped to eat at either Maria’s or El Rincon de Luis - the former closed on Monday and the latter only open at weekends! The centre is rather restrained after the bustle of the N234. A...

    Thank you very much indeed for looking in to this. It is a real start to a fruitful resource. I will try to suss out 1 and 2. With regards to 3. Almenar, I am sorry to say that hitherto I have been unable to make contact with the Ayuntamiento. I have asked various tourist offices to call on my...

    Safely ensconced into my single bedroom located quietly to the rear as requested. Fetching ‘rosa’ bathroom suite, with bidet and what my mother called a ‘sitzbad’. My handy plug allowed washing of clothes and bathtime luxury. Perfect hanging arrangement over said bath; window ledge ideal for...

    I am most grateful for this piece of work! It even helps me rather than working from a scrappy piece of paper. I spend hours poring over maps months ahead; then get rather hot and bothered; once ‘on the road’ the legs take over and the Spirit of the Camino. Legs fine so far; 40 kms at 72 no...

    I decided that the granny landlady/cook was less convincing (at Fuentas Claras) when she announced that there was no ‘menu del dia’ so I soldiered on to a promising hostelry on 5 kms further on the outskirts of Calamocha. Actually cheapest cerveza to date at Euro 1 for a caña! It meant giving...

    Hey.. Sunday’s often the problem later in the day. Fab stop in Fuentes Claras where there is a good looking hostal. I asked about rooms - not sure if there is space. Therefore I do recommend booking ahead if you venture on this Camino. Much more verdant; very rich soil = very ornate and larger...

    Cheap bank ATM fees?

    Just took Euros 209 from an IberCaja. I’ll be interested to see what my French bank charges.. if at all!

    ps The Camino de Sagunto book is noteworthy for its very good binding, ample photographs, maps and historical detail. It does NOT deal with bars/banks/pharmacies/bus and rail connections etc. A very good ‘aide memoire’. I strongly recommend.

    Torrijo has a good bar with a great view on to the spectacular church. Amazing baroque entrance with volutes, deep carving and notable entarsis onfluted columns. The brick belltower is gorgeous; visible from miles away and charmingly slightly wonky.

    Previous post shows: - well placed benches en route - Molino Basso hostal - Torrijo del Camino bar/farmacia/bank - roadside GR marking - VTT Camino del Cid marking which would have taken me on the old railway track

    Lovely church with campanile up the hill. Apparently part of the old castle hence detached. Too early for the saffron museum..

    Monreal del Campo A real cereal centre. Flat way. No marking. Some VTT and Camino del Cid indications. All services but no visible accommodation except the Molino Bassano on the way out which looked firmly closed. Banks/farmacia/launderette/bars Had great tostada with added jamon to get me...

    Hostal Brin on N234 BEFORE Monreal del Campo. At Euros 31.50 it is good value but out of town… Large room with two Queen beds. Very quiet. Functional bar/restaurant best avoided. On the fun side… a stream of cars and ‘likely lads’ streamed past as from 9pm to the nearby MR Dance Club! No noise...
