What, what, is there a free beer???
The Dutch (brown) tracks go along the carretera further on from the factory while Vieiragrino (blue) tracks are the route me and you took. Me exactly, you roughly ;)
Enjoying your posts Annie which I just read right now. So sorry I couldn't offer more help...
Ahhh, Jean-Luc, it would be nice to meet again in SdC. At least we've had some off limits time that afternoon. After the Slovenian language mass in Rua Nova I walked back to the Cathedral around 17:00 and were drinking beer with few of the group at the bar just down the stairs off the Pr.do...
:D :D :D
No ringing ahead otherwise. Except for meals. The restaurants are almost without exception afraid of the groups because of the ordering process which takes so much time so they wanted me to choose one single choice within their menu. And I did. And I didn't tell that to the pilgrims ;)...
Oh, I forgot to add maybe the most useful info on Levante - the bar and restaurant in Gotarrendura is open again :D
The waitress speaks English too (she's Romanian) but I don't know whether she's just hired or did she actually takes over the place...
Well...
Since there was some interest in this tourigrino endeavour of mine as a guide in PMs I decided to write something brief about it. Some will be surprised that I'm posting at all and the others won't even know why the minority is surprised. But let's leave it at that. I also doubt that...
Yes @amsimoes , a friend of mine was returning from SdC to Madrid on foot last June on the Zamorano and he said that the markings are being repainted and there are more of them now. So he had no problem finding the way even in reverse.
Well, the tour is organized by a tourist agency which sells pilgrimages (with no walking as in Camino way) to Fatima, Rome, Santiago, Jerusalem, Međugorje etc. But for this kind of combined pilgrimages they offer 8 days tours. Which left me with only 6 days of possible walking stretches (1st and...
Thank you, Laurie, but I hope they don't like beer so I would have some time on my own ;) But it's OK, that's just work with a pinch of joy being on Camino again in any way that might be.
Hola, amig@s,
This is more or less just a post for the posting in the Camino Calendar. On March 30th I'll come to Valencia to take my first group of "tourigrinos" on a super fast Levante/Zamorano/Sanabres Camino Combo. All in all just 8 days but I'll be in heaven nevertheless :D
I won't have...
That's exactly Camino de Levante. From Zamora on it's either VdlP/CF or VdlP/Sanabres or Zamorano/Sanabres. That means the app you mentioned is useless for Levante itself.
Oh, I didn't stop at the planned stops 100%. I never do. It's just a plan but I always have 7-10 days in reserve so I can wing it. Why walk 35k if I feel lazy on certain day or if after 12k I like that little village very much and decide to stay there and just mingle with locals :)
Yeah, that would be nice. But in the morning when I was there the beach was almost deserted and I haven't seen any opened bar/stand or something similar.
I would also add that it is not recommended to hang around Mercat Central when the night falls because completely different merchandise and...
I will gladly chime in @AJGuillaume but have to warn you re my list of distances and accommodation that it was compiled before I walked Levante in 2015 and never redacted. Many things might have changed in five years and I'm sure @JLWV will be the best source for the newest info.
I won't give...
True that you can stay in Avila (municipal) albergue for one night only but I tried and succeeded in persuading hospitalero to let me stay two nights (in 2015) because the albergue was empty anyway. So you can always try ;)
In Gotarrendura albergue also have a turistico part which is a bit more...
