I also made this spreadsheet of accommodation on the Lana which might be of use to others. Again, let me know if you want it in a different format for editing...
Thank you for this. Brilliant!I also made this spreadsheet of accommodation on the Lana which might be of use to others. Again, let me know if you want it in a different format for editing...
I don't mean to sound greedy or ungrateful, Maggie, but I think there is a page or two missing, your list stops soon after Trillo.I made this list of facilities on the Lana. It doesn't include water fountains but all other services gleaned from various sources including the one linked above. The towns that are shaded were my intended stage ends.
The symbols 𝐀∕𝐇🛏 indicate Albergue/Hostal/Hotel
The attachment is a pdf document but I can also provide it in numbers or excel if anyone wishes.

Hi Laurie - one thing to be aware of. When I did De la Lana a couple of years back there were several instances where there were bar/cafes listed BUT nowhere was it stated that some of these dont open until evening. Not much use if you want breakfast. It's not much of an exaggeration to claim that some villages had hardly any people except at weekends ! It's advisable to have a walking partner and would be a major advantage to have a Spanish speaker. Some wonderful scenery so worth putting up with some testing stages !This is gold, the ideal planning summary. Thanks Laurie.

I unfortunately went 7 or 8 days where there was nowhere to get coffee before close to midday. You may also have to wait in a couple of smaller towns 'til 9 am opening as there aren't enough pilgrims to justify (in their minds) opening bars before then !Thanks for the heads up. It is precisely for this reason that I carry my very own immersible electric coil.
I know it would be totally excess baggage on any of the main caminos, but I have been walking more remote caminos, and I am not going to enjoy myself if I have to walk 25 kms before I can get a cup of coffee.
Lainey, look at some of the pinned threads. bad Pilgrim, Undermanager, and Magwood all walked this year. LT also went as far as Cuenca. Maggie had to stop before Burgos but her magwood.me blog is up to her usual standards.Interested in all this as I had never heard of the Lana. What's is like to walk? Great downloads.
Superb scenery ! Splendid isolation. Saw deer 8 mornings in a row. Some long mornings with no breakfast. Some great local volunteers only too eager to help. Went from Alicante to Burgos. Nearly had the route to myself. Well marked, though El Cid markers almost totally replace de la Lana ones for the last few days stretch into Burgos. Soria is surreal - almost devoid of people. Not always enjoyable but made highlights seem even better. Cuenca is lovely. Not for the faint-hearted !Interested in all this as I had never heard of the Lana. What's is like to walk?

Laurie, I just tried the web page you linked to. First, you put a QR reader app on your phone. There are lots of free ones in the App Store. Then the app asks you if it can access your camera. If you say yes, you can hold up your phone to any one of the squares and get information from it. Your phone "sees" the square through the camera and opens a new page. (Just be prepared to close all the pages that are ads or upgrades using the X in the top right corner.) The Monteagudo de las Salinas square, for example, brings up a page with the camino stage displayed on a topo map, a route guide km-by-km in Spanish (turn left at...), a list of albergues for that stage, and useful info such as "no ATM's in this village." It's all free.I just went back to the web page and saw this. http://www.decuencaasantiago.es/.cm4all/iproc.php/Guia Camino de la Lana Vicente Hernandez.pdf?cdp=a
Can anyone tell me what happens if your phone can read those squiggly boxes?

I very much hope to walk the Lana next year, fingers crossed.
