I personally loved Puebla de Sanabria, i’ve recently spent 4 nights there resting up with a chest infection (made use of their excellent medical/health centre). The town was lovely, the people friendly, i loved exploring the streets and the castle, good food at La Posada up by the castle and...
Hi Chrissy i’m getting the bus today 18th April, it was all very straightforward, ticket kiosk number 8, the displayed notice says the ticket kiosk is open Monday to Friday 09:30 to 13:25 and 16:00 to 19:25, Saturday 22:30 to 23:10, Sunday closed
I have no clue what you would do if the kiosk...
Thanks Chrissy, hopefully that will work out. We have a rest day in Salamanca before going to Zamora so i might enquire at the tourist information there and i’ll let you know what they say 😊
I couldn’t get accommodation late March, i put it down to being semana santa so had booked 2 nights in Monesterio and planned to walk from Monesterio to Fuente then get the afternoon Alsa bus back to Monesterio, returning by bus the next morning to Fuente for the walk to Zafra. In the end the...

My friend @Shona and I walked the VdlP in spring 2022, we got into the habit of eating a menu del dia in the afternoon, it wasn't very often that we missed out on the lunchtime menu del dia and had to eat food we had with us or eat late like the locals, sometimes places weren't opening until 9pm...
Currently two days walk from Caceres having started in Sevilla. It has been busy, very busy at times and as there are two of us travelling together we’ve been able to utilise hostals and casa rurals as the cost between us is not too much more than an albergue. Lots of booking beds ahead going on...
Love the bird pics, hoping to see Bee-eaters in a couple of weeks when i'm walking, your other birds are: Linnet, Greenfinch, Hoopoe, White Stork, Red-legged Partridge, Purple Heron (nice!), Griffon Vulture, Wheatear (with a male Stonechat in the background) and of course the Bee-eater :) (can...
Great write up thank you! I believe the trees with the “trunk treatment” are the cork oaks :)
Look forward to hearing more of your journey, buen camino!
