Yes there are maybe 20-30 pictures, but not large ones...Uh oh, 70Mb! How many photos/images are in there? SY
Right; so the first version of a guide to this Camino is done. However, at 70 Mb, it is too big to upload...
Will contact Ivar to hear what can be done.
Thank YOU for assisting. Good idea: Will do.Glad I could help, do you also plan to upload it to the resources section directly? Would be easier to find there ...
Buen Camino and thanks for creating this guide, SY
Thank you!This is amazing and your wonderful guide is much appreciated. It's downloaded so I can detour on the next Frances trip. My ancestors are from Bergen, Eidsvoll and Vikersund so I found the linked story fascinating. Tusen takk for sharing this unique side trip!
PS: Since you are from Norway, perhaps you can answer something for me. I have looked at the St Olav trail and see there are two routes from Oslo. If you have hiked in this area, which would you recommend?
Thanks. The way out of Burgos to get on track on the San Olav is surprisingly simple, indeed.Takk,takk! Excellent work, Alexwalker!
Helpful instructions in the start.
@alexwalker , took the bus from Burgos some years ago since it was difficult to get accomodation when I walked in autumn. Do you think this route from Burgos is a suitable walkingroute for an old woman? Is it possible to walk on to Camino Frances without going back to Burgos?
Yup. Laurie speaks the truth! The only correction I'd make to her post is that 'enjoy' is way too mild a word. It was a string of stellar walking days. I was alone, for what it's worth - which meant I got lost right off the bat, leaving SDdS on the wrong path. But no harm was done; in fact it made for one of the best days of walking ever. I wrote some posts about it here after the fact and here in the moment....Vnwalking has also walked and enjoyed the route. And she’s almost an old woman like me!
Wow,
I am definitely going for this Camino next summer (2019). I should be there around the midst of July. I will look through the ressources that you all mention!
I hope it is accepted that a Swedish boy walks this "Norwegian" Camino de Santiago...! :OD :OD
At the entrance of Covarrubias there is a large sign saying "Bienvenidos" (Welcome) to visitors… And the first translation on the sign is actually Velkommen ("Welcome" in Norwegian)!
I will start in Burgos, walk to Covarrubias and then take the bus back to Burgos... Hopefully to walk somewhere else: possibly continue on the Camino francés for a while.
Thanks everyone!

This guide is, to my knowledge, the only written guide to this Camino. As you can see from the posts below, I had some problems uploading it initially, but got it fixed.
The guide was written after I walked El Camino San Olav 3rd - 6th Sept. 2016.
UPDATE: The San Olav guide is now to be found and downloaded from the Resources section. I advice that you go there for downloads, because I will put new versions/updates there, as there is version control there.
Some of the posts below show my initial problems in uploading the guide because of size. Thanks to SYates I managed to solve it, and we let the posts stay "as is" for info to future uploaders.
Great idea! And not just because that’s what I did! Rebekah and I posted some threads,El Camino de San Olav - Burgos - Noruega - Camino de San Olav
El Camino de San Olav en Españawww.caminodesanolav.es
There is also this, which may be useful. We are thinking of walking it in reverse as a slightly longer way of completing the Lana, but not until May/June 2022.
And if we can, we'll follow the Francés as far as Fromista, then follow the Castellano-Lebaniego to Santo Toribio then via Pótes to San Vicente de Barquera, i.e. coast to coast. At least. that's the plan.Great idea! And not just because that’s what I did! Rebekah and I posted some threads,
When you get to Santo Domingo, head to Covarrubias and then you have three really nice days that will take you, among other 5 star attractions, to the visigothic church of Quintanilla de las Viñas. I think you love these old churches like I do, @dick bird, and this is one that cannot be missed. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, I believe, so plan carefully!
Whether you take the San Olav backwards or continue on the Lana, you will be plunked right into Santo Domingo de Silos with its amazing cloister. Great choice of caminos, IMO.
only one word — WOW.And if we can, we'll follow the Francés as far as Fromista, then follow the Castellano-Lebaniego to Santo Toribio then via Pótes to San Vicente de Barquera, i.e. coast to coast. At least. that's the plan.
I did it too. A wonderful walk.Great idea! And not just because that’s what I did! Rebekah and I posted some threads,
I posted a map someplace else. But there at least are two optons here if you want to include SP in your walk.And one more thing, the monastery of San Pedro de Arlanza was closed for several years for restoration, is now open, and looks spectacular. And there are good ways to walk there and work it into the San Olav.
