    Day 9 Transco to Sernancelhi 29km For a time today it seemed that a walker had done the signs for walkers, probably the best signage so far. But we still needed our App. No services at Ponte do Abade. Maggie's resteraunt is over a km away on a main road. A kind old lady gave us some water at a...

    Day 8 Pinhel to Trancoso 30km Another great walking day, beautiful scenery, flowers, vines but not easy, long day with lots of climbing Three Navigation Issues today. 1. About 15km from Trancoso you cross a lovely bridge over the Rio Massueime. About 340m later while enjoying the lovely river...

    Day 5 Cuidad Rodrigo to Abla de Obispo 30km After the 15km march on the road to Gelligos de Argañan the walking, track and scenery become very enjoyable. No Bar open early in Gelligos, Bar el Maño closed, we got water at the Council offices. Obispo has the best Albergue so far, purpose built...

    Day 4 - Alba de Yeltes to Cuidad de Rodrigo After the road walk to Bocacara the walking improves dramatically. The cork oak trees don't last long, note the stripping of the bark. Once again the signage is basic and there are times you will need your Navigation App. Official Website covers...

    Day 3- - San Mañoz to Alba de Yeltes 26km A great walking day, reasonable signage but you really need a path to follow on your favourite App. Even on the Cañada (stock routes) it changes directions and when it is well covered by vegetation it has its own road/ path network that can lead you...

    Day 2 - Robliza de Cojas to San Muñoz More beautiful Dehesa although at times it resembled the Meseta of CF fame. Some confusing signage pointing you back the way you came but otherwise ok. Came across a Spanish man riding a beautiful horse which was a highlight. As we headed into San Muñoz...

    Day 1b - Rab to Robliza de Cojos This day takes us through beautiful Dehesa country again with its easy walking. As you get to the turnoff to the town there is a bike sign saying straight on ( to bypass the town) but no Indication for walkers. It's a 5 way junction, take 3rd left, ( check your...
