Greetings MM,
I excitedly received your post. I'm eagerly preparing for a Portugues Camino this August so I'm pleased to ramp up the excitement. Likewise, this section of my 2022 camino was the most remarkable and burns strongly in my memory.
The Ruta del Cister, or Cistercian way, is what...
After 9 am mass in Santo Domingo de Silos, I have decided, my Camino Sorianno will be complete. On to Camino Invierno which I will begin on Sunday after a layover in Burgos. Buen Camino!
Etapa 8 en Soriano - S.Leo Y a S.Domingo SILOS
Partially on the Camino del Cid
Initially I didn't understand what Lori was talking about but now I realize that this newly constructed path was originally an old railroad passage passage and I figured it out because of the railroad markers. The...
Etapa 7 - Herreros a San Leonardo Yagüe
Pavement leaving Herreros for about 5km. You will walk around the western edge of the lake and/or reservoir. Then, you will find shade to walk along the pine forest. In the spring, it is mushroom hunting time and these forest roads are lined with...
I really should be quicker with my editing. I'm being trumped constantly by spellcheck! CAMINO de CASTELLANO-ARAGONES....to Soriano.... did I get it right?
Etapa 6 en Soriano
I'm Going back to my diary entries and changing the name of the route because I've learned the Soriano truly begins in Soria and goes to Santo Domingo de Silos. Prior to that it is really the Catalan Aragones.
It's a lot of pavement walking out of Soria but The Visit was...
Most museums and tours closed today, Monday after a big weekend. It's parks and Alamedas for me. Did get in to mass at the convent this morning. Beautiful. A siesta in Cervantes Park. A walk to Soto Playa. And planning for a big dinner of Terraza de Soria. It's a very nice city with plenty...
Pozalmoro has a very nice alberque set up within the town. There were very nice grounds around it.
Although we continuously have seen this abandoned railway line and the old buildings that were the stations, the flechas never took us down the actual rail line. We did cross over it a couple of...
Etapa 5 en Soriano - Pulzomoro a Soria
On a crystal clear day, this etapa is a precious piece of Spains interior. A stroll through antiquity. The way is filled with archives of times Romana. All in the spirit of the Orden de Templarios. I'm sure there are few caminos as Peaceful as this.
My...
Gotta add this:
Final for today, dinner at the bar. A bottle of house wine. Incredible serving of provincial eggs, patates and ham (yes breakfast for dinner) and bacalao! Servings were plenty. Ice cream for dessert. Bocadillos y naranjas for the trip tomorrow and a thermos of coffee! 17€ each

Etapa 3 en Soriano- Tarazona a Agreda
We started our morning with a walk to the park one last time Along the river. As we prepared to leave Tarazona we found the archaic Camino marker enshrined in a beautiful rotundra.
Leaving Tarazona on the pavement of N-122. is not recommended but it is...
Etapa 2 en Soriano-Borja a Tarrazona
When walking out of Borja you can take 1 of 2 route options according to Ivar. Once you are on the South side of the town into the newer developments you can stay to the right and climb towards the Ermita del Santo Sepulcro.
You can stay to the left And...
Day 16- etapa 1 en Soriano- Gallur to Borja
Manel decided to walk the Soriano with me.
I'm following two different lead maps for this route. It proved today that neither was completely up to date. My thought would be how to help Ivar update the info for this route. It is a true Camino route...
Day 15 Alagon to Gallur 22km
A little lost and trying to get out of Alagon, but once the route is established, the way is clear. It rained last night so it's a little muddy. A lot of birds in the brush along this oxbow bend of the old river.
The meanderings of this river accentuate the life...
Day 14 Zaragoza to Alagon 35km
Last night I saw a white horse in my dreams. Matamoros is leading me into battle. What will this battle be? God knows . Lead me Lord, lead me Lord. Leaving this town has me reflecting on why I came. I know there is a good reason and Santiago is the key.
During a...
