Glitches leaving Salamanca

[Richard Maynard]

Have just arrived in Calzada de Valdunciel after a frustrating exit from Salamanca. Other pilgrims I’ve met today agree the way marking in Aldeaseca de la Armiñá is confusing after the exit from the village so be aware. Also my ‘Wise Pilgrim’ app which has so far been a great help completely lost the plot and sent me to the village cemetery!! I think I have a few good years left, thanks very much. Anyway, keep alert an buen camino

I have to ask the question, were you relying on an app or did you have a hard copy map with you. I have just checked the Gerald kelly guide for the VDLP and he does mention that there aren't very good Way markings, but he does give a very good description of the way to go.

Yikes! I will look into it, in the meantime keep those boots above ground.

Usually check Gerald Kelly the night before (2016 edition) and use the app as I go along. I just found the way marks a bit confusing in the village and immediately after the motorway underpass. No issue really. Other PeregrInos will probably have no probs.

I have marked it in my book to pay special attention when leaving Salamanca, thanks for the heads up.
