Yes, it is very beautiful! Both times I walked it I had perfect weather...sunshine and coolish/warm temperatures in early May. Thanks for refreshing my memories with your pictures.
The first 10K not so fun, unless you like guardrails and highways .... the balance is wonderful.
Looking now at Brierley’s, that’s the route I had planned to try if I had been able to walk.Hi Cayou,
next time try the camino duro, which turns off to the right shortly after passing the bridge in Villafranca. A short steep ascent and you will be high above the valley, guardrails and highways.
Very beautiful alternative.
Just continue climbing the ramp on the right side.
It will rejoin the camino frances in the village of Trabadelo.
We actually walked up it for about 1/2k the night before. Absolutely on our list!Hi Cayou,

my favourite two were Calzadilla de la Cueza for being able to sit and watch the sun go down in peace
Thank you, lovely memories. I was there on the 17th August (49th wedding anniversary) last year and they were preparing St Maria church for a wedding later that afternoon so I lit a big fat red candle for my dear husband RIPView attachment 81708View attachment 81710
How on earth do you get to do so many Caminos??For me personally, the walk from Hornillos del Camino to Hontanas, with a coffee/beer break there, then San Anton, where there has been an outdoor cafe in recent years, and then on to Castrojeriz and the end of the day, enjoying the views over the valley with some refreshments in (another) outside cafe, is a highlight day for me.
Patience.How on earth do you get to do so many Caminos??
