I have yet to find an open church since Zaragoza
Magellon
No recommendations from experience, Laurie, but you have several Michelin bib gourmand possibilities coming up, in Tarazona, 3 in Soria, and even one in Covarrubias...have fun and buen camino!
Saboya 21 in Tarazona
3 restaurants in Soria (Rincon de San Juan, Baluarte, and Fogon de Salvador)...looking even more pricey than you'd expect...
De Galo in Covarrubias
There are also 2 in Navaleno (La Lobita and El Maño) but I'm not sure if that's on the way...

surrounded by chic Sorianos looking slightly surprised to be eating their setas and ceps with the scruffy pilgrim.

Ha ha...Well, heavens, neither am I!!Thanks for more restaurant recs but don't think I'm a foodie in need of a Michelin bib. Good home cooking is fine with me.
Canyons and Romanesque churches? Now you're talking!
I hope you have a fabulous journey through there tomorrow, Laurie.
Glad you have that GPS!
Ha ha...Well, heavens, neither am I!!
Think of it this way...not only do you get to enjoy a very good meal, but by being the 'scruffy pilgrim' (as Alan said) you're a messenger of another way of being. Who knows? seeing you might open the door for someone.
(Full disclosure...well, I've never been in a Michelin-recognized restaurant in my life. And like you, simple is my preference...)
Hi Lee. Today's walk is a keeper. At least for anyone with a GPS. Without it would be silly and even unsafe IMO. Just way too remote. I am glad to have figured out the GPS basics bc I would have been in trouble today without it.
I will sleep in San Leonardo and then taxi To Ucero so I can walk the entire path along the canyon. Of course a Romanesque church is also involved.
Do you know exactly what day you will arrive in San Leonardo? Maybe I can organize a welcoming committee.
I only walked a part of the Cañón de Rio Lobos but what I say was very nice. This was at the end of July and we only saw a few walkers. We almost lost Guapito in the woods but luckily a cyclist brought him back to us, him running behind the bike at top speed!
Enjoy and keep posting. Buen Camino amiga
Glad you didn't lose guapito bc that would have been very sad who is he staying with while you're in San Sebastián?
I'll be in San Leonardo on Tuesday June 7 if all goes well. I'm staying in Hostal Torres. I hope to be welcomed by a new credit card sent from US but anything else you can arrange will be swell.
The Camino is so special.No money accepted.
How is it possible that they are unvisited????
Today in Hontoria Del Pinar after an amazing walk through the cañon del río lobos. Highly recommended. The first 8 km are out of this world, the last 18 are nice but not spectacular.
Castilian, you just planted another seed...been thinking something like that and have a few threads bookmarked already. Happy to share bookmarks, Laurie, once you're home and planning again!Anyway, stickting to Caminos to Santiago, some day you have to walk the Viejo Camino out of Pamplona. Or, maybe even better, the Vía de Bayona till Miranda de Ebro continuing on the Viejo Camino from Miranda to Aguilar de Campoo (that's basically the GR-99 from Miranda de Ebro to Villanueva de la Nía plus a self-designed stage from Villanueva de la Nía to Aguilar de Campoo).
Sometimes to get out of a camino (de Santiago) is a good idea, isn't it?

Keep enjoying!
I dipped out of the Viejo at Reinosa last year, having joined it in Sodupe. A return is high on my list (alongside the Castellano Aragones) but I think I'd follow the Pamplona route to Miranda then on to Aguilar de Campoo, as you suggest.
But it's HOT!!!
Woke up this morning to an email from Ana to arrange things in Pension Julita. Talk about amazing councidences.Woo hoo! You're there in SDdS...and now you and Rebekah are probably on your way to Vespers.
Wishing you a fabulous walk tomorrow. And uncomplicated logistics...
Lots of good wishes coming your way for a continued Buen Camino...on the St Olav, El Cid, or however you go...
