Now, there is only one La Ruta de la Lana route guide http://www.aache.com/alfonsipolis/ruta_lana.htm. The guide quite old (1999) and describes the path from Monteagudo de Salinas to Burgos. You can find more updated information in Internet.

Can I add a blog which I have started which has GPS routes for the Ruta de La Lana? I walked it this year - 2013 - and found it wonderful. There was plenty of help from Amigos del Camino
along the Way. The blog is here: http://www.the-raft-of-corks.com/blog/.

Oh, so, so, so..........uhm - "For the first time, too, I felt solitude, the solitude which is the opposite of aloneness. I merge and become part of the world around me. My surroundings surround me and incorporate me. " - that's the quote from your second day and it got me all and whole! Thank you so much for your blog. I guess this night I'm gonna lack some sleep

Ultreia! - wherever you are...
 


Thanks, for that. I've just seen your reply. I am glad this spoke to you. There are so many experiences we share on the Camino that are not easily available in "the world".
Here's a wierd one: http://www.the-raft-of-corks.com/blog/camino-de-levante-oranges-word-theresa-lisieux/

All the best, John

Thanks for the new section, Ivar. This is another route on my "watch list." I know one person who has walked it, but says that before Cuenca there are (or were, maybe this has changed) no arrows. Good to have a place for people to exchange information on this route.

BTW, mundicamino now has information on stages for the Lana.

There are arrows all the way now, Laurie. But here are GPS files to download from Alicante to Cuenca:
http://www.the-raft-of-corks.com/bl...-ruta-de-la-lana-gpx-files-maps-places-sleep/
The up to date albergue information is in progress, but the routes are fine.

The page above has been updated with more contact telephones and a map with gpx of the route between Campillo de Altobuey and Monteagudo de Salinas. This route is different from the route on Mundicamino but is the one which is marked with the yellow arrows.

Here is another link to a specific part of the route, the Canyon of Caracena. This is in the middle of one of the longest parts of this Camino with few facilities. It passes through Soria which is the least poulated province in Spain and this part is isolated. http://www.the-raft-of-corks.com/blog/canyon-caracena-ruta-de-la-lana/

GPS and map, Retortilla de Soria to Fresno de Caracena.
 
Good afternoon Laurie,
I wanted to signal an impressive Camino addict, probably known to most of you, he described his recent (April-May 2015) Camino de la Lana from Valencia in his blog. Only limitation, it is written in Spanish and French.
http://peregrinopatxi.blogspot.co.uk/
He is a long distance walker, his days are all above 45 km, large proportion are 50; he says having walked 68 km in one day to reach Cuenca ! This is tremendous. He walks with very minimal rucksack (5 to 7 kg), for several weeks. Minimal comfort...
Well I know where to set the limits,
Kind Regards
 

Hi, Julio, Yes, I have seen some of peregrino Bat's writings. In fact, I stayed with Rosi in Fasgar on the Olvidado not long after he did and heard a lot about him! My friends and family all think I'm an extreme camino nut case, and it's always nice to be able to point to people like him to show that MY camino addiction is well under control compared to his. Buen camino, Laurie

Hola!

That's sooo impressive, but La Lana from Valencia??? Haven't had a peek into his blog yet but maybe it's your typo, Julio? As I know La Lana starts in Alicante...

Regards!

There is a recent new variant from Valencia-Cheste-Chiva-Requena joining Ruta de la Lana in Monteagudo de Salina. I know this region from Valencia to Requena. It is a sort of family land for me...
