    Detailed Planning for Viejo/Olvidado from Pamplona

    I walked the Viejo/Olvidado last summer. From Miranda de Ebro to Aguilar de Campoo had me saying "wow" outloud, daily...if not several times per day! Canyons, great paths, wonderful villages, waterfalls, ancient roads, I could go on and on. I still think of that week regularly and hope to go...

    Camino Viejo Stages & Tracks (June 2023)

    I should also add that if anyone wants to do the Oña - Trespaderne variant, they are working to (finally) complete the bridges after years of delays. The via Verde would make a very short day (<10km) but looks beautiful! And would give you lots of time for sightseeing in the area :)

    Camino Viejo Stages & Tracks (June 2023)

    How exciting! I think of this walk often and hope to go back and explore the area more. Hopefully these links work for you: Quintanta to Pesquera - I had problems with my wikiloc this day but followed Caminaka's tracks from 2012...

    Phew, what a journey you've had! Some long days! Thanks so much for posting each day, it's been quite exciting reading about the route so soon after I was there. Glad you got to Aguilar safely and sounds like a very wise decision to stick to the road, albeit unpleasant! I liked Los...

    I'm so sorry, I keep hijacking your thread! Just one more thing about the route to Aguilar. After the Santa Maria de Valverde and the church Rupestre, where you turn off the road - this section is actually on dirt biking paths and was a bit overgrown in parts. It wasn't wet/muddy, but I was...

    I did. It was 41.88km in the end. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be...just a hot day and you enter Aguilar through the industrial part. I was glad for the hotel there. I was just looking at my Wikiloc again and you'd be ok on the 99 to start. But after Rebollar de Ebro it got bad. There's...

    Wow! What a difference a few weeks make! The trails were empty and Orbaneja was practically a ghost town when I was there! For tomorrow, have you tried phoning the place in Villanueva de la Nia? I took this picture of the phone number when I walked through: Also, after Polientes I found...

    That sounds incredibly frustrating. Here's a screenshot of the trail (yellow line)

    Sorry, I should also say that my GPS went weird in the canyon so it looks like I flew over the river near the beginning. I most definitely did not do that. But the trail is obvious 🙂

    Yes, my Wikiloc trail should work! I just forgot to start it at the church... remembered a few minutes later. With Wikiloc, does the app have permission to use your location? Maybe this has been disabled on your phone and would explain why it's not working for you?

    I'm so glad to hear your foot was better today! I'm looking forward to hearing which route you took! I also just want to make sure you've seen my note on other threads about following the 99 tomorrow (the way Caminka went). The bridge is washed out so don't follow the 99 at first. It goes up...

    I've never been given a code but when I have reserved in Spain I'm given the taxi number...usually 4 numbers that are visible on the side somewhere. Maybe this is what it is?

    I'm very sorry to hear about your foot and your day. Maybe a taxi or a rest day would help? Tendonitis sucks. 😕

    Yikes!! Sounds like quite the adventure! I think you said you got mapy.cz on your phone now? This is why I used it on the Viejo. The GR is already on it (the red line) so when Wikiloc beeped at me, I could check and see where the GR was. I hope the rest of your day is much more straightforward!

    LIVE from the Camino BP on the Viejo June-July 2023

    Sounds like a great day! Yes, there is a new bridge to get across near the hotel. The issue now is that they've chained off a section due to rockfalls before you get to it. I also wanted to mention that if you follow my Wikiloc tracks tomorrow ignore it beeping at you after Barcina del Barco...

    Sounds like today is a good one after all your drama yesterday! I'm so excited for you 😃

    My goodness, I'm in suspense! I hope everything is ok!

    Thank you so much for the virtual thread and suggesting it to me! It was a really special one and 9 days I won't soon forget! I'm on the Olvidado now but keep thinking back to the Viejo...

    I use Vodafone, which may be part of the problem. Although, I had a good long chat with the owner of a Casa Rural and he mentioned that his guests are always commenting on the lack of coverage. He said it's due to the terrain (there are some narrow canyons) and lack of cell towers as there are...

    Camino Viejo Stages & Tracks (June 2023)

    Here's some information about the routes that I've used on the Camino Viejo from Pamplona. Please note, the full route is not maintained and arrowed as a Camino so there are lots of options in places. Also, I'm not great with Wikiloc and tend to change my mind as I go, so if you follow my tracks...
