Buen Camino to you and your son, Chrissy!
What a top place to start your Sanabres camino … eating at Me Gusta Comer! All wonderful memories are made here!
May each day be a joy for you both and I’m so looking forward to seeing you both in Santiago! The Camino - and the Forum - provides...
Hi @Karen Cap - if you switch over to the Camino Sanabres at Granja de Moruela, after some days you’ll arrive at Rionegro del Puente. This town has the most wonderful restaurant, Me Gusta Comer. This restaurant offers one of the best pilgrim meals I have ever had the good fortune to eat -...
Like @happymarkos in post #14, I recommend the small tins of tuna. After the kind recommendation of @wanda I also began keeping tins of the Isabel pasta salads in my hiking trailer. The Isabel pasta salads were excellent and really worth trying.
I often bought food for the next day’s breakfast...
Terrific blog @thepacman - thanks for sharing it here on the Forum. I’ll be following your journey.
Is the new path you mentioned going up the killer hill just before Almaden? I hope so! Last year I had to drag myself up that hill hanging on to the bushes for dear life as I had my hiking...
What a perfect time of year to walk The Plata @Lindsay53! Spring flowers everywhere those huge Spanish skies - glorious.
I remember “that” hill - what a shocker! I remember the first sight of it and thinking, “surely no” and my heart sank when I found it was to be “definitely yes”!
Buen...
Hi Damien - may all the Forces be with you on the Plata! If you could check in here with all your Forum mates from time to time that would be fantastic.
I walked the Plata and the Sanabres until Ourense last year (started from Seville on 19 April) and fell totally in love with it - there’s...
Wow, Wow, WOW, Karin! What a journey and what courage and determination you’ve shown on this long camino. Your generosity has shone throughout your whole camino. Your pilgrim heart is amazing, truly amazing ❤️❤️❤️.
Sarah too has showed courage and determination and what a wonderful...
Hi Robo -
The ‘Isabel’ brand tinned salads are a great thing to keep in your pack. They even have a small fork under the lid! One of these salads, together with a can of tuna makes a sustaining meal if there aren’t any restaurants open and the salad makes a terrific evening snack if you’ve...
I heard about you too, Heather! It’s such a shame our paths didn’t cross. We would have had much fantastic conversation on those magical paths had we walked together.
The bush telegraph on the Plata was epic! The stories we heard about people I know we both met were simply and completely...
Hi Jill - have just seen that the Plata remains on your wish list.
How I loved it. There’s a quiet joy every day walking through the stunning landscapes and hardly ever seeing another person. I found that it’s as though time was in complete rhythm with my footsteps - that everything else in...
Hi Karin and Sarah -
Thank you for sharing your VDLP and Sanabres camino with us here on the Forum. It’s been and continues to be an amazing journey.
I admire your tenacity and perseverance so very much and also your strong pilgrim spirit.
Every best wish for a buen camino until you both walk...
Further to Gerald’s excellent post, I can recommend the Roman meal at Aqualibera at Aljucén, which was absolutely delicious. Last May I stayed at Casa Rural Mérida in the town which was lovely and ate dinner at Aqualibera with my pilgrim friend Wanda who stayed there. An added bonus at Casa...
“That plank” @khiker9 indeed - it was a shocker! Someone needs to give that “bridge” a suitable name!
I crossed it on 20 April last year with my trailer Spot and didn’t use my noggin well enough … I unloaded Spot and gingerly walked across with my duffel bag - thank goodness for the...
Hi @rainforestgirl - that’s a shame … I’m not sure what Euroschirm model mine is as it’s quite a few years ago that I purchased it.
I didn’t find it heavy but it’s an umbrella that doesn’t fold up so it’s not as compact as some of the other hiking umbrellas on the market. If you were to buy...
Hi @rainforestgirl - I bought my Euroschirm umbrella at Trek & Travel in Kent Street in the Sydney CB several years ago. Might be worth a phone call or check their online shop to see if they currently stock them.
Cheers - Jenny
