    Day 8 arrival in Cuenca

    Thanks for posting your experience LTfit. You've had an adventure! Too bad about the rain and the mud. I can imagine how bad it can get walking through all the fields and appreciate my luck with the weather just 2 weeks ago. Look forward to seeing the rest of your story.

    Hotel Salvadora, it was convenient to the Ruta, central with a Mercadona nearby, 30 euros with breakfast. Not much else available.

    To be honest, I was conflicted about the gated finca. I resented having to walk the extra kms on a less interesting forest road, but the markings the Guadalajara association has put up are very explicit. The day before the hospitalero Esteban in Salmeron had gone over the route and mentioned I...

    This camino has been different that way. I recommend the Albergue in Sigüenza, friendly owners, new place with pilgrim thoughtful design. 4 rooms, mine had 3 double bunks, bathroom, small kitchen (large well equipped kitchen downstairs by the common room), balcony with clothes line, beautiful...

    I arrived in Mandayona about 5pm and got no response from the number. Might be better to call ahead to make arrangements if you want to stay there. I'm in Sigüenza tonight and staying at a newer private albergue by the castle on Calle mayor. It's 20€. The president of the Guadalajara...

    Day 15; Stayed in Trillo at the bull ring last night. Called the number on the door and a fellow showed up in 5 minutes. This is on a Sunday, very nice. 4 single beds, no bedding. My first time using the sleeping bag on this camino. 2 bathrooms, good hot shower. No kitchen. Very clean and right...

    Route change; at Villaescusa de Palositos between Salmeron and Viana de Mondejar there was a landowner that had gated the road but the camino had gone through anyway. That's no longer the case. Now all the signage directs you to go around the property. The signage that redirects occurs before...

    The weather has been perfect. Cool mornings, clear skies, warm afternoons. Albergues have been chilly. An update is overdue; I'm on day 14, on my way to Trillo from Salmeron. Looking back here are some points that might be useful. At Alcala del Julcar after the incredible descent the arrows...

    Ruta de la Lana update: day 5, Alatoz. In Alamansa, hotel Los Rosales was closed, but there's another hotel on the way out that is open. When leaving Alamansa there's a petrol station/bar/restaurant that opens early and has fresh tortilla. In Alpera, the albergue is fine, but there is only a...

    Thanks for the tip but I decided to try the convent albergue and it's quite good for tonight. Stayed in Hotel Salvadora in Villena, 30€, including a continental breakfast. Basic but quiet and clean. If anyone else is thinking of staying at the convent albergue in Almansa, be aware the entrance...

    Leaving Alicante is quite straight forward, following a main road, Avenida de Aguilera, until taking a right at the cemetery sign. The signage is excellent. Do take water, there's a couple florist shops and a bar by the cemetery where you might refill. I ended up asking for water at one of the...

    Second day on Ruta de la Lana, Novelda to Villena. What a joy this walk is. Novelda has an incredible albergue, such luxury. I was the 5th pilgrim this year. Counted 58 for last year and they seemed equally divided between Sureste and Lana. The markings have been great except they can be a bit...
