I have occasionally reserved places to stay on the Escapada Rural website, and now they must think it’s a good idea to email me with tantalizing information about why I should be going to Spain.
Just got this one, with a list of 31 ”not to be missed” castles.
Though I think any list of ”top castles” is likely to draw disagreement (for instance, HOW could Xátiva not be on the list?), it’s fun to see how many of these places are on caminos. This is what I’ve come up with, let me know what I’ve missed. Any favorite memories or photos?
(#2) Medina del Campo — Camino de Levante
(#4) Segovia — Camino de Madrid
(#5) Loarre — Camino Catalán
(#7) Coca — Camino de Madrid
(#9) Manzanares el Real — Camino de Madrid
(#11) Ponferrada — Camino Francés and Invierno
(#18) Monterrei — Verín alternatiive on the Sanabrés
(#19) Alcaá del Jucar — Ruta de la Lana (the one I had hoped to walk this year )
(#21) Alcazaba de Almería — Camino Mozárabe
(#24) Gomaz — Ruta de la Lana (another )
(#25) Calahorra— Camino Mozárabe
Some of the others must be manageable detours from a camino, so I will have to do some research to see if I can make my way to some of these other gorgeous places on future caminos. Buen camino, Laurie
