I'm determined to do this next summer.

I see there is a 57 km stage without accommodation (Agreda to Soria), except for maybe on the floor of the old school in Pozalmuro, which is 20 from Agreda and 37 from Soria. I am pretty sure this will be part of my Camino 2015, so I will be sure to post anything I find out as I research. Buen camino, Laurie
The Pozalmuro Gap does sound a bit daunting - not just without accommodation, but without anything much except for fabulous countryside and some depopulating villages (Soria province is the most sparsely populated in Spain, with about 30 acres for each inhabitant). I see there are a couple of casas rural in the area, but none particularly near the camino. I was thinking of doing this route next year and then hopping up from Burgos to the Norte somewhere like Santander. But I fear that might not be a good idea for my usual autumn/winter walking, as I expect it gets pretty nippy up in the Moncayo hills round Tarazona and Soria. It does sound like a lovely part of the county, and I'm determined at some point to see Santo Domingo de Silos.
Hi, Alan,
I am certainly not one to look down on getting a ride to a casa rural and then back to the camino the next day. Can you tell me where you've found places? I'll also take a look and see what I can find. I have been to Santo Domingo de Silos, but not on foot, and that would be really special -- plus, I think I've read somewhere that pilgrims can stay in the monastery, do you know anything about that?
I don't think there is an albergue at Santo Domingo de Silos, but there are several reasonably priced hostales.
p.s. Just thinking about it for a minute, it seems that maybe the best thing would be to walk 10 or 15 kms beyond Pozalmuro, which would then put me in a town about 20-25 kms from Soria. Calling a cab to take me into Soria and then back the next day would be a pretty easy thing to do. And Soria surely has a lot of accommodation options.
Oh, no, Castilian, you are making me go back to the Ebro/Castellano option in my plans. I thought I had it narrowed down to St.Jaume/Catala or la Lana, but you are complicating my life with these comments! Thanks a million, buen camino, LaurieAnother option would be to arrange a taxi beforehand (so you'd know the fare beforehand and therefore avoid 'surprises') in Ágreda to take you back to Ágreda from, for example, Pozalmuro. To spend two nights in Soria could be more interesting though.
There's and hostal on the outskirts of Soria (something like 4 kms. from the downtown) that could be useful for those willing to walk all the way from Ágreda to Soria in a single day and end running short of time/daylight.
BTW, no idea about the current status of the works to make an industrial area close to Ontalvilla de Valcorba but they could affect the camino and, if they really affect it, I don't know if signaling will be properly updated.
It stops at Aldealpozo, about 2-3km off the camino just after a deserted village called La Pica, round about half way between Ágreda and Soria. Eg 5.58pm on weekdays, getting to Soria at 6.20
Not sure where you got that schedule but I'm not seeing it on the web of Therpasa (the bus line that makes the route).
this is the relevant bus schedule from Soria bus station's website: http://estacionsoria.e.telefonica.net/pdf/horario4.pdf
according to the amigos of Soria, "aquí se ha habilitado un lugar de acogida en las escuelas".
I will arrive on 11 December at Castellon Airport and I don`t find anything about transportation to Castellon or Amposta on their website www.castellon-airport.net anyone can help me please ?
I'm reading Alan's posts with much interest because there's another of my Camino Combos which include this part (Girona + Catala + del Ebro + Castellano-Aragones + de la Lana + Frances + Invierno + Sanabres = 1395kms)According to my calculations (though we'll probably get better info from alansykes when he is done), the Camino combination of the Ebro to Gallur and then the Castellano-Aragonés from Gallur to Santo Domingo would be about 19 days. Then on to Burgos, two days on the Ruta de la Lana, gives you a nice three week walk. Tempting.....
Soria is known for its pine forrest
It looks quite short but could be added to another route.
¡No pasarán!...Staying in Navaleno, a pleasant but dull mountain village 6km short of San Leonardo, in an almost certainly futile protest about the latter's continuing to "honour" a despicable war criminal in its name - San Leonardo won't notice it's lost €40.
So tomorrow, without even spending €1.30 on a café con leche in SL (that'll teach them), ...
