    Cost of accommodation on the Ruta de la lana

    Hi - I walked the La Lana in September 2019 and yes indeed this is a very solitary route - I was lucky enough to meet one pilgrim on day 1 just before Novelda. Thereafter it was just the two of us. I do not think that the accommodation for the trip was any more expensive than previous...

    Who's walking La Lana in April

    Hi Donovan, Yes I too have to agree that CT is indeed a beautiful city and my favourite is my first glimpse of Table Mountain when we come down to land - especially when I have been away for a couple of weeks. I have somewhat decided to change my dates a little - even though I am hoping to...
