I took a bus up to the monasteries from Jaca in September 2023. It left about 9.00am and delivered us to the new monastery. The bus then left at about 2.00pm and picked us up at the old monastery on the way back. Well worth the trip.
x I also was offered the "family property" at the bottom of the village while on the lana in Sept 2023. Sandra picked me up on the outskirts of town and drove me to the accom via a local tienda which is located in a villager's casa. I received a warm welcome from Sandra and the locals. Sandra...
Spend some time looking for the carving of the astronaut which is located on the external wall of the Cathedral of Salamanca. Both myself and the late Carmen Garcia spent about an hour looking for it without success. Thankfully a couple of local kids pointed it out to us.
I arrived there in October 2022 and found it closed. The gentleman who lives beside the albergue led me up the hill opposite the albergue to Hostal San Francisco. Singe room with bathroom and there is a bar/cafe on the ground floor. Well worth the climb up to the castle and village on the other...
Hi CindyJo.
I walked the Levante from Valencia to Zamora in 2019 and again in 2022 from Valencia to Zamora and continued on the Sanabres to SDC. I did not use MapMe or Wikiloc but used the information provided by
" Associación de Amigos del Camino de Santiago de la Comunidad Valencia". When...
I am at the abergue now. There are 7 entries since the end of June. The welcome from Teresa was very warm. There are new appliances installed. New fridge , washing machine , dryer and microwave. The rooms are spotless.
I stayed at the albergue about a week ago. I used the code provided by the Tourism Office . Several days later, I met two pilgrims who arrived at Torrijos separately after 5.30pm. One asked the Police man in a car for the code. He was told the albergue was closed and to go to a hotel on the edge...
Hi Black and red. Sorry for the late response.
When entering Higueruela, proceed up Calle Levante to Hotel Posada on the left to get your key and selling. Then proceed along Calle Posada which runs beside the hotel. Turn right into Traversia Plaza all the way to the top where you will find a...
I am currently walking the Camino Levante and have enjoyed peaceful nights up to tonight. I arrived back fro dinner at 9.45pm to find that a local brass band were practicing in the room directly above the albergue. When questioned, they advised they should be finished by midnight. Too late to...

hi David
Hi David
I am flying out from Australia on 27 September 2017 and will follow in your footsteps from Madrid. Did you post any information on your Camino after you arrived in SDC?

Hi all. I guess this the correct area for this info. I contacted the Barrabes Sports store in Madrid to inquire about Altus ponchos. This is their response.
"unfortunately we do not carry the Altus Atmospheric Poncho anymore. However we do have two similar Poncho´s that you might be interested...
