Did you feel very young in Banos. I remember when we were there 10 years ago that it was full of pensioners taking the waters and despite our 50+ age then we were by far the youngest.
If I remember correctly the way out of Banos was up the old Roman road and though tough quite a highlight.
The Banos DO have a cold plunge too?
Grayland, you are in my thoughts. Please let us know how you're doing.
Having walked this in the summer for a couple of weeks, I feel for you.
Please take care.

Greyland, what a great feeling to be in Salamanca. You've come a long way in what seems like a very short time! Maybe not to you, though. If you can take three days to get to Zamora, you've got three easy stages ahead of you. At least easy when the temperature is not out of whack.
If you head to another camino to escape the heat, the problem is that you will undoubtedly plunge into crowds -- a member of this forum just gave up on the Camino de Baztan from Bayonne to Pamplona after one day because the crowds were unbelievable and the accommodation sparse.
Wishing you a wonderful stay in Salamanca, and buen camino to you and your wife.
Grayland,
Amazing that you did this in August, thanks for the updates and you know, it's quite inspiring! I just might try this myself next summer!
Many thanks and good travels to you.
Grayland emailed and they are in Albergueria now. Ellie says they left their shells there and she loves the place. Thanks for this board. I am proud of Ed and Ellie for getting so far.Alan and I have the same favorite Zamora church. It is tiny and peaceful, outside the castle walls and off the tourist path. A wonderful spot for quiet reflection.

Wow... I am thinking of following into your footsteps Grayland... Walked from Sevilla to Aldeanueva del Camino in May last year. Would love to continue on. The only time I'll have this year will be in August... Did it get better heading north? Temperatures should be better around Salamanca than around Sevilla, I suppose. Where all the albergues open with almost no pilgrims?
Buen Camino Amigo! Walk safely:shock:
I am leaving in a couple of days for Seville to start on an August VdlP :shock:
(I do know about the heat)
I will try to post on this thread from time to time if my iPhone does not melt.
Luka I'm thinking of you and your camino. What's the weather like? Only a month until I head off. Nerves starting to heat up . Bless, graceWonderful Aldeanueva albergue all to myself. I guess I am the only lunatic walking in August...
Everyone has a unique attitude toward walking alone, but I share yours. I can get plenty of solitude surrounded by pilgrims, and they really are the camino to me. I don't bother to compete for beds with them, so I rarely view them as obstacles. So I say, "good choice." Have fun, and buen camino.Reasons? I don't enjoy solitude as much as most of the times.
