Hi,
I'm sorry, I can't remember. I might have pre-booked the day before or the same morning, but not further ahead than that definitely. It's not in the main town, so I didn't see the other albergue, no, unless I passed it the next day on the way out. I apologise for not being more helpful - it...
Do choose exactly the way you want to go and do it and don't feel pressurised into doing it differently unless you want to. Here is my blog link in case it's helpful. Have a lovely time https://walkingwithoutadonkey.com/portugal/
There's a book written about it by pilgrim Alain Bec - s good story and covering what to expect and history etc in French https://images.app.goo.gl/Q6tPicYDViuPk2p59 and a rather rough English version too. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08RJ8GFZH/?tag=casaivar-21
Plus, in my case note when it is just no fun any more. Stopping every 10 mins if you can find shade and waiting for the pulse to slow, noticing how you feel - completely fed up, desperate to stop, or simply not enjoying it anymore - these, too, are mental signs that you must get help to the end...
Thanks. After today, I am not sure I will be continuing. I had a truly HARD time - 9.5 hours and then I got a lift from someone blessed from just outside Contonegrós. Not only am I unlikely to continue tomorrow, but I fear my pilgrim days may be over. I cannot put myself through that again, or...
This is a very kind gesture. I have to arrive in L'Esquirol as someone has offered me a sofa, so I will take a route there. I appreciate all your work more than I can say. Thank you all for helping me.
Thank you for your encouragement. It's the Sant Esteve to L'Esquirol I am tackling tomorrow and mentions of the Wikiloc trail not being there is my worry
Day 3
Sant Esteve d'en Bas to Olot (8 kms) and back plus walking around Olot planning my wee pilgrimage for the International Walking Encounters Conference delegates = 25.75kms https://www.artdelcaminar.org/
A mostly lovely walk to Les Preses on the edge of Olot for breakfast though some was...
Hi, thank you for taking the time to answer and share your experience. So far I have just, and I mean only just (!) managed to find accommodation where I have finished walking for the day, but you are right, if I cannot, I can always take a bus or train. Thank you very much.
Sorry, that posted before I finished it. Live from the Camino Camí Sant Jaume day 2: Amer to Sant Esteve d'en Bas. So I decided to ditch my sleeping bag and the pack was lighter as a result. There was less sun, more shade and, later once I had got to the hostal, it poured with rain.
Started 6am...
Day 2: Amer to Sant Esteve d'en Bas. So, I ditched my sleeping bag and travelled a little lighter, the sun wasn't as strong, there was more shade and now it's actually raining/pouring! Make sure you see the Romanesque Santa Starts in forests then Les Planes d'Hostoles. Have to détour for open...
V v hard day today in 30 degree heat - often no shade for v long stretches (like Mesera). Well sign posted vies verdes /camí San Jaume.
Carrying too much - what to do? Have sleeping bag as scared will get stuck on mountains overnight after Olot. Yes, I know, your fears weigh you down! Tomorrow...
