    Experiences on the Olvidado - June/July 2023

    Wow, to lose 20kg in weight is serious I think to your health. I hope you make a full recovery soon. I am glad to have walked the Olvidado. It was what everyone said, spectacular, if not a little scary in parts. Good thing is Sonia at the albergue in Puente Almuhey said that 100 have stayed this...

    If you can have el menu del día when you get to Riello to meet Laura and Anna of La Mágica de Nuebles, I recommend it. Laura ia a great cook in the restaurant Villamor. I had a super lunch.

    Olvidado accommodation

    Yes, the menu del día at the Moderno is the best I have ever tasted. Fabulous for 12€. I had lunch with a Basque peregrino who has stayed there several times. He was concerned how quiet it was at lunchtime. Also he told me last year the owners included in the 25€ room, breakfast next morning...

    Olvidado accommodation

    Yes, I walked the alternative route from Velilla del rio Carrion to Puente Almuhey. Perhaps the first day's real Olvidado experience, a lovely walk up in the mountains. To stay at Puente Almuhey and have the experience of meeting Sonia was a real gift. I have bad blisters and her concern was...

    From what I have read, they tend to be the more mountainous and beautiful but also challenging!

    Experiences on the Olvidado - June/July 2023

    Just love all the input/stories on this Camino. I plan to start from Bilbao on the 1st Sept. Spoke to Adolfo last night in Nava de Ordunte and realised that staying with him is going to be so useful and also a great expereince in his special albergue. I love my "stamps". Can I get my first in...

    BP on the Olvidado July 2023 - A retrospective

    Yes, I have made a note of that, thanks @peregrina2000. There was a comment about losing time and adding distance by diverting left out of Cervera instead of just following the road.

    And is there, are there other place/ places where barbed wire fences need negotiating?

    BP on the Olvidado July 2023 - A retrospective

    Thanks for the reminder about that stretch before/after Cervera de Pisuerga. Could someone try to give me an idea of where the confusion about the path is? I have taken a note from someone that I should ignore arrows pointing to a meadow and just continue along the road until a sign on the...

    BP on the Olvidado July 2023 - A retrospective

    Well, if it's useful , of course I will post. Just realised though, watching Sara's YouTube videos (yes, finishing at Boñar, for some reason?), that my early stages match hers but not always and with perhaps different accommodation options? But just to say, my stages in the first week and a bit...

    BP on the Olvidado July 2023 - A retrospective

    Fabulous story, thank you so much, I start my own Olvidado adventure the 1st Sept and again different stages to yourself and @VNwalking. At 70 now I am much more of a, less than 30k a day kind of gal, especially with steep ascents and descents Having enjoyed now 4 reports of the walk from also...

    BP on the Olvidado July 2023 - A retrospective

    "The Camino takes you on a hike to the Sanctuary of Virgen de la Peña just before Congosto. We didn't want to go all the way up there but suddenly we noticed that was where we were heading... I fished out Google Maps and took us down to Congosto as fast as possible" Can I ask which routes are...
