    LIVE from the Camino Ruta del Argar

    Hello all, I walked the Ruta del Argar from Almeria to Lorca in January this year (2024). The notes in this thread were so helpful, thanks @islandwalker ! For the final stages into Lorca, I had trouble finding accommodation in the following places: Huercal Overa + Almendricos so I ended up...

    Anyone in or passing through Ireland, this Greenway could be of interest.

    Hello to all interested in this walk. I saw this sign posted up along the canal yesterday. There's an email at the bottom right which you can write to to obtain a copy of this publication.

    Launch of Irish Famine Way route

    Re. Possible alternative accommodation (you would have to do a Google search for phone numbers) Before Mullingar: In Cloondara, a few km after Termonbarry, there's the Richmond Inn. Between there and Abbeyshrule there's a couple of options in Ballymahon (Cooney's hotel and Skelly's...

    Launch of Irish Famine Way route

    Accommodation was pricey, from €60 - 100 per night/ single occupancy (booking.com prices). A Google search might produce other accommodation options along the way. An experienced and discreet wildcamper could manage it for sure but no official campsites that I could find.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking In The Footsteps Of Pilgr (and Others!)

    If you are willing to stay in private accommodation at times then it's definitely possible to shorten some of the stages. I did that a couple of times.

    The unpredictable ends of my Camino!

    This was very bad luck for you AndyThomas! No matter what preparation we do, it is true that different people's bodies react differently to a hard walking pace. Unfortunately your body had a very extreme reaction. You will know for the future. Take it easy!

    Could you be a Hospitable Hermit?

    I think this is it. 6 beds, I believe, so much smaller than the Alcañices which has about 30!

    Could you be a Hospitable Hermit?

    Hi, its Hostal Atila (on the main street) and it cost €40 on booking.com. But I'm sure the 'on-the-spot' price is lower. I can't comment on it though because when I arrived, I was upgraded to the Hotel de Alba (next to the albergue) because a group of workers had arrived and claimed all the...

    Could you be a Hospitable Hermit?

    Great news. The current hospitalero - Josep - at the Albergue in Alcanices is fantastic. Dont miss the chance to stay there! His number is 663926984. He also regularly updates the Albergue de Alcanices Facebook page (you don't have to be 'on' Facebook to view it). He also mentioned that from...

    Could you be a Hospitable Hermit?

    Hi all, I stayed in Ricobayo earlier this week in the Hostal next door to the albergue. I hope all is still on schedule for the opening of this municipal. Ricobayo is a lovely village indeed and an ideal stop on this Camino.

    LIVE from the Camino Walking In The Footsteps Of Pilgr (and Others!)

    To shorten the stage for the following day to La Roda, I walked from Chinchilla straight through Albacete and stayed in the Hostal Los Gabrieles. It's a highway motel with restaurant attached about 10km beyond Albacete on the left hand side of the Autovia A-31(€30 for a clean modern single room...

    LIVE from the Camino Walking In The Footsteps Of Pilgr (and Others!)

    Hi, another couple of updates from April 2019. So from Alpera to Higuerela, you can rejoin the Camino after about 3.5km by walking down the minor road AB-2015 towards the train station. Here, the yellow arrows make a reappearance. You then cross over the railway line and regain the trail...
