Well, hmm, My experience was different. I slept close to Sant Esteve d'en Bas, rather than Olot, so started out in the morning a little closer to the ascent. I thought the climb up to the plateau of L'Esquirol was very beautiful and not hard at all. I suspect I took a different path, as I...
Hi Jeff - Yes, Laurie is right. I’m referring to her maps. I downloaded the Wikilocs app on my phone. I searched for peregrina2000, her “name” and then downloaded the maps for all her stages before starting my walk. Being able to see her yellow path on the map was very helpful at times...
Sorry to be late responding to this. I just posted as a new thread “My walk Llançà to Santa Cilia March/April 2019” which may be helpful, though probably too late. Hope all is well.
Continuing…..
Day 17. Berbegal to Pueyo de Fañanás. 28 km. The bar opened at 7 am so a hot coffee was possible in the morning. The morning was initially beautiful – looking out across the flat plains under a dense and then wispy layer of fog, then following the packed earth path between...
Continuing....
Day 7. L’Esquirol to Vic. 20km. This was a short day, mostly downhill on huge flattish stone landscapes, to Vic. Signage out of town was not great. Thank you again Laurie for your Wikiloc map which told me which street would get me to the start of the camino at the edge of...
As I have benefited immensely from other’s accounts of camino walks, I wish to add some notes about my recent walk: March 14th through April 6th, 2019, from Llançá to Santa Cilia de Jaca -- on the Cami Sant Jaume to Montserrat and the Camino Catalán from Montserrat to Santa Cilia de Jaca. I...
I just walked Llansá to Montserrat to Santa Cilia and on to Arrés. The Eroski app information on albergues from Montserrat to Santa Cilia was accurate. I always called ahead one day to make certain the albergue was open and to understand how to get the key.
The 3 page printout of...
At Santa Celia de Jaca, the note on the door said - closed November and March. Reservations -no. Call ayuntamiento during working hours, or hospitalera, name and number on door and also in Eroski and other guides, preferably after 6pm. I usually call municipal albergues the day before to...
Martini - regarding your question Ena to Santa Cilia in one day - it is 22,5 km per Eroski guide and I just walked it 3 days ago. Ena albergue was quiet and lovely.. A self-service donativo this time of the year with no heat. The kitchen is so well equipped, if only we had brought food to...
Great suggestions. I had considered them when I was considering the Camí San Jaume/catalán. I am fond of flat walking.
But I met Enders when I walked the San Salvador last fall, and he easily talked me into doing the Olvidado next, probably continuing on the Invierno. Not that they are...
All is well on the Camí San Jaume, except for my problems posting properly.
The route I had been considering is called the Ruta d’en Sevallinga. It may be the GR 178. It leaves the Via Verde 20 km north of Girona at El Pastoral and heads west. 33.2 km to Vilanova De Sau and then 20 km on to...
To Dave and others - i wish I had remembered your post about Pontós! I made exactly the same mistake 2 days ago and walked due west instead of due south for a good four km in the woods. Just following yellow dashes....
When I finally got to Bàscara later than intended and explained my...
Just walked from Llanca to Girona ( thanks especially to Laurie for inspiring this walk to Jaca)
And now I am trying to sort out best route for me to Vic - straight west through Vilanova de Sau ( Which is the route described in the French guide I am using), or Laurie’s more northern, longer...
