Longest distance between alberques on CF

PokeyRN49 · Jan 5, 2020

I’ll be a slow walker on the CF and wonder what the distance between any alberques on the CF. Im thinks that there will be a day when I will be walking a greater number of km than most other days.

The longest day is 17kms from Carrion de los Condes to Calzadilla de la Cueza.

There are albergues, hostels and pensions everywhere and like Jill said the longest walk is 17k. By the time you hit that stretch 17K will be a piece of cake.

The distance may not be the only factor involved, yes 17km is the longest distance and as pointed out, you’ll be used to your daily trek by the time you reach Carrion de los Condes. What may be the most difficult leg for a slow walker could be Orisson to Roncesvalles which occurs early on and is steep both up and down. But, all manageable. Buen Camino.

I have attached a file that you may find helpful. It lists the albergues and distance between them.

I will post two responses for documents showing the albergues and the distances between them.

Hi PokeyRN49 -

As Jill and lt56ny have posted, that stretch between Carrion and Calzadilla is the longest stretch but the good news is that in the warmer months there’s Bar Oasis open, which is around the halfway mark. The couple who run it - Rafa and Mina from memory - have a tasty selection of offerings, including a drool-worthy barbecue sausage and tomato boccadillo ...

It’s a cool, shady place to take a break, to take your shoes and socks off and have a toe wiggle while enjoying something delicious - happy days, taking great pleasure in the small but important things - and looking after your body too with the rest break.

Buen Camino from a fellow slow walker and cheers from Oz -

Jenny

There are more longer days 15km-25km in after Nov 1.

I’m going mid to late September through October

We’re getting ready to start on January 18, and it looks like a lot of albergues are closed, so that means much longer walks some days, right? Deja vu from when we did Norte in November 2015!

Weather, not distance per se, could be a very important factor. A 25 km in a sunny day can be literally a walk in the park; a 18 km with rain, wind and muddy paths can be very dificult to manage (although, personally, I like the challenge). In October, be prepared for some moderate bad weather, especially in O Cebreiro and Galice.
Buen camino!

The longest day is your first day so keep it short.

Thanks you for these two files!

The following chart shows guidebook distances of greater than 10km between lodging.
I did it for planning because I have aged out of the 25km/day pace but still love walking.
I will also 'cheat' and use more taxis from albergues and bars to shorten now unmanageable distances.

Profile
"Stage"	From	Ending	Km
6	Villamayor Monjardin	Los Arcos	12.5
7	Torres del Rio	Viana	10.8
8	Logrono	Navarette	12.8
9	Ventosa	Najera	11.0
12	Villafranca Montes de Oca	San Juan Ortega	12.3
14	Burgos	Tardajos	11.5
18	Carrion de los Condes	Calzadilla de la Cueza	17.5
19	Sahagun	Bercianos	10.0
20	El Burgo Ranero	Religios	13.0

It is probably the flattest , most boring stretch on the entire CF - get a taxi
