Hot off the press! Fab place to eat is CAMALÉON BAR on Carrer Albacete. Divine late night cheesecake (casera) with a glass of tinto!
Sorry to go off topic. I rarely eat dessert, but a couple of days ago in Muxia after a fabulous fish lunch, The waiter convinced me to try the homemade cheesecake. Cheesecake is a pretty standard and easy to make dessert, I’ve rarely had a bad one, but this one was out of this world delicious. I don’t know what was different about it but if you go to Muxia, give it a try. This is the place, Lonxa de Alvaro.Divine late night cheesecake (casera) with a glass of tinto!
You know, probably, that if you want to break this up into separate tracks day by day, all you have to do is hit “finish” and then give a name to the trail and save it. And it will go onto the list of “your trails” on your wikiloc profile page. And then the next day just start over with “record trail.” But you may have a reason to want it to be one long continuous track.
Bless! I need training!! Feel just happy that I managed to download the relevant maps.You know, probably, that if you want to break this up into separate tracks day by day, all you have to do is hit “finish” and then give a name to the trail and save it.

Thanks for all the updates, filly!
Yes, I got home yesterday, and I am in that post-camino flatness period. Your (and others’) live posts really are a great antidote!ps are you back in Champaign?
Yes, about that….You know, probably, that if you want to break this up into separate tracks day by day, all you have to do is hit “finish” and then give a name to the trail and save it.

I thought that this:Wow, that's a heck of a day - respect!
Was your day’s mileage!! Well, you did say you didn’t mind doing a few extra kms (for a comfy bed)
Excellent.I am pleased to say that research shows that there is municipal tourist possibility in Almenar de Soria after all.
I cannot tell you how MUCH feedback means to a fairly weary soul!!
Ears perking up.This is a lively, lovely camino which needs enthusiasts…
In which case those of us like myself who really enjoy following you should perhaps respond more often. Whilst I may never walk the particular camino's that you have, I really enjoy your daily reports and the photos that accompany them. I loved your 'Lana' post's last year too.I cannot tell you how MUCH feedback means to a fairly weary soul!!
We had it in a rental back in 2015, personally I found that whilst it was brilliant in winter it didn't work as well in summer. Logical, being that hot air rises. Although I have to say it was really nice coming in on a hot day and putting your feet on the lovely cool tiles....Intriguing thing about the Luxe establishment I am staying in… it has UNDERFLOOR AIR CONDITIONING!
I learn from Filly's Camino and it makes me think about life.Imagine my dismay when leaving to spot the sign indicating the current tenants/owners were due to retire. Hence need to be flexible/inventive/forward looking on this Camino.
This almost makes me want to wait for three years to walk this route. Teruel has a lot of civil war history. There was a huge fosa (pit) where many Republicans were executed, both during and after the war. And a pretty infamous prison (well, I guess that doesn’t distinguish it from the others).A museum of the Guerra Civil is planned to open in three years.
Thanks Laurie! I am confused.com when it comes to technology.This almost makes me want to wait for three years to walk this route. Teruel has a lot of civil war history.

Filly, it looks to me like the N-420a is actually the Avenida de Sagunto in town. I see tons of hotels, which one is yours? And name of restaurant please.The picture you have put up is from El Horno, which I think was on an earlier stage, but I may be confused.
Thanks for the update!
Laurie - could you kindly remove twi two ‘errant’ photos of El Horno and food. No idea how they were inserted. Gracias.This almost makes me want to wait for three years to walk this route.

We need a ' Oh my goodness that looks incredible / I am jealous' Emoji....Went to ‘town’ in the rain to have a luxe dinner. The resto relented and agreed to grant me the tasting menu rather than lose a customer. I would NOT have wanted to eat this at lunchtime…

It included two glasses of wine at Euros 45.
A bargain for a Londoner. Perfect portions.
Teruel is a delight.
Thank you for the clarification… priceline.com and agoda.es and other sites show this well-reviewed property. Howevet, there is no lodging available for 27 May. Alternative found on yet another site.There was one place I really wanted to stay at… but either closed on that day or full. They only allowed reservations on booking.com
Will locate screenshot in due course…
Can you give us the name of the person whose trail you followed? I'm just seeing lots of bike trails, and maybe you followed one of them? Looks like you were on one of the natural routes -- Camino Natural del Guadalquivir?Fab trail found on Wikiloc - Teruel to Albarracin.
Tell us the name of your hotel, please!Made it to Gea de Albarracin in 5 1/2 hours.
WHAT????? You're not going to let us follow along to Albarracin and then back to the Camino?As I am off-piste, there will be radio silence until I hit Cella and the Camino.

… and I did offer to buy AND send … case of looking a gift horse in the mouth I guess!! LOLAs I was googling around trying to find out how I could buy the book Filly has mentioned, I came across a list of services on this camino, published by the Amigos of L’Hospitalet de Llobregat (a Catalán amigos group). This group similar listings for some untraveled caminos, though I have never been able to find a list of all that they offer. I just come across them one at a time in a random way. But this listing might be helpful for anyone who is planning or dreaming about this camino (like me!).
The listing is dated 2017, but it is a good place to start, IMHO.
Well, I totally missed that. But it’s ok, with this listing of towns from the Llobregat amigos, along with your thread and Alan’s, I can start piecing things together. Just like you did!… and I did offer to buy AND send … case of looking a gift horse in the mouth I guess!! LOL

Filly, I see the book is from 2012, are you finding that it is helpful anyway?

That’s very helpful. No, of course you’re not wasting your time. I thought it was a useful document to at least lay out the towns and distances along the route, and from there to start inputting your and Alan’s information. I assume that the towns and distances have remained the same. Or are you saying that the camino has been re-routed?Laurie… this listing is A WASTE OF SPACE!
Totally useless and out of date ( or am I totally wasting MY time with this blog, I seriously wonder….)

Anyway, thanks for whatever info you post, it’s fun following along.
sure, this is a clasical week-end excursion for people here in Valenciabut I would recommend avoiding weekends. It is popular and there are a lot of bus groups.
Thanks, filly.The book is fab. On history, on photos, on the Camino
