    Walking the Olvidado: A Solo Pilgrim's Experience and Accommodations Guide

    Is there a way to break up the stage from Bonar to La Robla? The distance is too far for me in 1 day.

    Heat in Albergues in 2022 - Do I need sleeping bag?

    I know it is too soon to tell, but I am scheduled to travel in less than 2 months so will have to make some decisions this spring. I'd love it if people would keep me posted!

    Heat in Albergues in 2022 - Do I need sleeping bag?

    Planning a trip on the Del Norte in September/October 2022. With the geopolitical fuel price situation as it is would you expect to need a warm sleeping bag, or would a 500 gram liner work as it has in the past?

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my Facebook Post April 2019 This was my planning document from my trip in April 2019. Well used and worn. Probably the most valuable contribution I can make to this thread. The Olvidado is hard. Much harder than I anticipated.

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    Our intended destination was La Lobera in Arroyo. We were hopelessly lost in and around Arija on 2 different days. I can't figure out where we taxied to, but we taxied back the next morning.

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my Facebook Post April 2019. I am all about shorter stages. Camino Olvidado Day 8 Today was a much better day. A lot more off road. All in all I didn't mind too much stepping into leaf covered muck a couple of times. We visited the Roman site Juliobriga. Pretty cool. Lots of up and down...

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my Facebook Post from April 2019 Camino Olvidado Day 7 Today was a hard day. 15.15 miles. Relentless pavement. We spent quite awhile being lost. The route today was not well marked. When we got to our destination I thought we were going to have to go nativity. It is Easter weekend and...

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my Facebook Post April 2019 Camino Olvidado Day 6 Pedrosa de Valdeporres to Cilleruelo de Bezana We walked almost 10 miles today. Rained on most of the way today. It was 35° this morning and we started off cold. I hadn't set my map to "follow" so we were on our own. Fortunately the trail...

    My biggest regret of my camino was not seeing this. Another time.

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my Facebook Post April 2019 Camino Olvidado Day 5. The night of day 4 we stayed at El Prado Mayor. Fabulous. We could have spent a week. Organic garden, marvelous food and one of the most peaceful and hospitable places we have ever been. We walked 12 miles to Pedrosa de Valeporres. No...

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my Facebook post in April 2019 Camino Olvidado Day 3 OMG! I am hammered. We walked 17.2 miles today and gained 2,441'. It rained off and on all day today. I laid awake between 1:30 and 4am listening to the wind howling outside. We overslept until 7:30 and had breakfast, bought lunch to go...

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    From my 2019 Facebook post of this section Camino Olvidado Day 2 (4/7) Guenes to Nava de Ordunte 16.1 miles. We followed rivers most of the way today. I mentally did some fly fishing, but never did see a fish. Some of the trail was on an old Roman road so lots of uneven stone. A lot of concrete...

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    I walked part of the Olvidado in April 2019 before the trip was cut short. This post is copied from my Facebook post at the time. Camino Olvidado Day 1 Bilbao to Guenes. We have walked 17.2 miles today and still have 0.2 miles to get back to our hotel. The route was mainly paved bike path...

    Detailed planning thread for the Camino Olvidado

    On my caminos I try to buy ingredients to make a trail mix: nuts, chocolate, and raisens. If the stage is long and without a bar/restaurant my favorite is to buy a Tortilla de Patata Bocadillo to go. (Potatoe Omelette Sandwich) and eat it in a nice spot on the way. Yum!!

    New Three-Season Layering Options

    I have been amazed, but Oxyclean Odor Blasters has alleviated that problem for me. I won't buy polyester again, but until it shreds off my body, this works for me.

    Is the Olvidado for you?

    I am looking forward to being able to join your alumni group, hoping next year to walk the rest of the way from Bonar.

    Women's Hoka Boots

    Fine. Cobblestones are tough no matter what shoes you have.

    Women's Hoka Boots

    I haven't been able to find that model yet, but I walked a few weeks of the Camino Olvidado this spring in the Hoka Speedgoats and loved them. I destroy the liner in the heel counter very quickly, but I tend to do that in all shoes.

    Puente Almuhey albergue closed

    Sorry to hear this. We stayed there in April. It was very nice and comfortable.
