    How far in advance book the accommodations

    Ditto for last year - I left Alicante on 25 April.

    My Stages on the Lana, 2023

    The Albergue in Alatoz is excellent, and what makes it a special place to stop is the caring nature of the hospitalero, Pedro Antonio.

    Monteagudo de Salinas - Acogida closed?

    There is (was? 2019) also the Villa de Pedalillo on the left as you approach the village. Magwood said in her blog: “Villa de Pedalillo is a quirky mix of bar / restaurant / pensión / albergue. Apparently there are beds in the attic as a sort of albergue, but it was full when we enquired.” When...

    Restaurante Galicia in Baamonde

    It was called the Restaurante Galicia and the bearded gent had the family name Corral Castro - the same as the man who ran the small museum. I think they were brothers -possibly cousins - but definitely related. The food was outstanding and Sñr Corral Castro was the most genial of hosts. A great...

    LIVE from the Camino ‘Live’ on the Lana

    I think Sandra has an emergency overflow facility. I had booked a day or so ahead, but on arrival she told me that a bicycle group had phoned and taken up the entire Rincón. She put me in a flat near the town entrance - two bedrooms, lounge/dining room, kitchen and bathroom. Very comfortable...

    Ruta de la Lana (Siguenza to Burgos) and Camino San Olav

    I’m in Retortillo de Soria tonight - excellent albergue and Aurora is very helpful. Exciting day tomorrow through the Caracena gorge, then on to Fresno de Caracena where I (or rather Aurora) has arranged a taxi pickup to take me to San Esteban de Gormaz. After that it’s back to planning each day...

    Ruta de la Lana (Siguenza to Burgos) and Camino San Olav

    I’m new to this thread so hope I don’t repeat what’s already been discussed. Casa Rural Rio Dulce in Aragosa is every bit as good as Alan Sykes described it. It’s a gem, and it cuts off a few km compared with starting in Mandayona. Hotel Los Arenes in Tarancueña is closed and no accommodation...

    Albergue at Villar de Santo Domingo Garcia

    Experience from yesterday at Villar de Domingo Garcia: Looked in at the albergue but there were already three occupants and looks pretty small for a full house of four. I called in at Bar Goyo before going to the albergue and was offered the key, so I guess that’s the form - just go to Bar...

    LIVE from the Camino STOLEN from Foncebadon cafe 10am Sunday Oct 2, 2022

    Sometimes one can be lucky. In Viana albergue one morning my daughter’s shoes were missing from the boot locker – despite the identifying orthotics having been left in them. This pair had done great service since leaving Le Puy and were treasured possessions. With shoes, comfort far outweighs...

    Large group on the Torres

    Hi Laurie, a great coffee stop is at Julietta's place, cafe s. Cristavao, in Pereiro (between Almeida and Pinhel). Having stopped for a coffee, I was invited to share lunch with her and her husband, and she then walked me to the edge of the village. Extraordinary hospitality, which Pelerine...

    Camino de Torres from Salamanca

    Have you looked at the ‘Relatos’ section of the USAL website? There are, among others, detailed reports in English by Ina Sinclair, Maggie Woodward (@Magwood) and Gideon Sadler, and an introductory report that I wrote. Also, many reports in other languages. For planning my camino in 2018 I...

    LIVE from the Camino Camino Torres Trancoso-Braga June 2021

    On my camino in 2018 I stayed at the Casa de Cultura e Juventude. The people were lovely, I had a small room to myself, and it was a very comfortable stay. It's also well located near the river.

    Gronze will soon have a page for the INTERIOR route in Portugal

    The maps I’ve downloaded from this forum's Resources section show three caminos meeting at Lamego – Torres, CPI and Lusitana. The three run together to Peso de Régua (about 15km) then, as others have pointed out, the Torres goes to Braga and Ponte de Lima, the CPI to Verin and the Lusitana to...

    Is the city of Braga on any route?

    I really enjoyed the Camino Torres. As said, some very interesting towns, and a lovely walk through the Portuguese hills. I found all I needed to know on this website: http://caminosantiago.usal.es/torres/ The Relatos section contains several very informative reports from previous pilgrims...

    Via Francigena

    Hi Suzanna, I also started from Aosta (in September 2019) and decided that 27 km on day 1 would be a bit too far. I stayed in Nus at B&B L’Antico Borgo in Via Risorgimento 42 and it was excellent. I don’t remember the cost, but think it was about €30. I don’t know of an ostello in Nus. You...

    Who's walking La Lana in April

    Hi Marilyn, I’m also from Cape Town – such a beautiful city, it bowls me over every time I go back there. If you are planning to reach Burgos by 26 April we won’t catch up with you – probably be a week so behind. Happy travels. When will you leave Alpera? I have good memories of that town from a...

    Vertigo and the VF in Italy

    JohnandDeborah, you can download both the walking track and the cycle track for the entire Italian section from the viefrancigene.org website. I downloaded onto Maps.me. Having the two options side by side on the map was useful for daily planning, though in the end I used only the walking track...

    accommodation prices for Levante

    Has the albergue at Gotarrendura closed? It’s between Avila and Arévalo. I stayed there in 2014 and it was an excellent albergue.
