    A navigation app or detailed map is essential on the Camino Olvidado

    I just walked the west section of the Olvidao from La Robla. In Iguena the bar across the road from the albergue was open but the only food they had were some very tired Empanadillas. Re the Lebaniego/Noceda issue - i posted: As always I used Enders Wikiloc tracks, the way markers and mapy...

    A very short summary of my partial Camino Olvidado from La Robla (I walked the other half pre Covid when I then walked up the Salvador and onto the Primitivo) I still consider the Olvidado to be the best as far as the scenery and experience goes. I’ve walked around 10 others so far. However, if...

    Congosto to Villafranca 38km Yesterday had one of those little Camino moments. After doing my chores I went across to the bar for a pasty and a beer( or 2). In the bar listening to me trying to establish what time they closed and how to pronounce the names of the various pasties was what turned...

    Fortunately, I was not going to Labaniego so it did not cost me. Feels like a diversion to Nocieda just because there is an Albergue there. Seems the wrong way around- Albergues need to be where the path goes!

    Yes, if you don’t want to go to Noceda then use the route on mapy. More direct and fewer roads. In any case the Albergue in Noceda does not look like a great option as it seems a long way from anything. The new route goes to No Ed’s and then setback to Labaniego. If you wanted to stay at Noceda...

    Iguena to Congosto 35 km A very pleasant and simple walk today with lots of very grand sweet chestnuts trees, holly oaks and cork bark oaks. A few ups and downs but nothing overly significant. I lets about 45 mins before sunrise when there was adequate light to walk by as I wanted to try to...

    I would support absolutely what the others have said about Ender’s tracks and mapy. Also, the way markers have been very good since La Robla.

    Fasgar to Iguena 20km It was a lovely walk. About 3.5km yo the top which took me just under an hour and a simple track to follow. Fantastic views when you get to the top looking down to a broad valley with a stream running through it. From there the track is all just about downhill. However...

    Robles I de Oman’s (La Magia del las Nubes) to Fasgar 26kms Stayed at Laura and Anna’s place last night as planned and saw little point in them having to get going early to take me back to Riello. So I checked on Mapy.cz and there seems to be a good track to El Castillo which is on route to...

    As I am staying at Laura and Anna’s place tonight I see no point in them having to get going early to take me back to Riello. So I checked on Mapy.cz and there seems to be a good track to El Castillo which is on route to Fasgar so I plan to walk from here.

    La Robla to Riello via La Magdelena 34kms Started at around 0645 this morning as I had to be at Riello no later than 1530 when Laura and Ana finished work. There were a few hills on the way so I wanted to ensure I had ample time. That said, I got here at 1330. It was a great walk today and the...

    I agree with you about the section after Fasgar but other options with a place to stay seem very limited. What’s the accommodation option in Quintana dF? I can’t see CdC on the list of towns for tomorrow?

    LIVE from the Camino From La Robla 24 Sep 2023

    I have just walked up on the Camino Madrid, then a couple of less enjoyable days on the Frances from Sahigun to Leon and the a day on the San Salvador to La Robla today- and that was a wonderful stretch. I’ve got Enders app, his guide and omicko’s info as well as Enders Wicklow tracks. So I...

    Olvidado accommodation

    Glad I did not opt for the Albergue option as not only is it and extra 1km or so up the road from the Olvidado that bar is not open to night (closed at 1330) so no food there!

    Lovely, thank you. I’ve made a note of the changes in the Spanish one.

    Olvidado accommodation

    Just finished a long WhatsApp with La Magia and now sorted for 24 September. Thanks to all the good info here and the Camino angels. Can’t find the link to Enders guide though??
