Hi, has anyone been through Puente Villarente recently and found anywhere open to stay? Or is ALL accommodation in that town closed in winter?
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
Says to contact them in winter. Have you tried them?
Thanks, yes I’ve checked Gronze and saw that. I will contact them a day or two before if I need to. Just wondered if anyone has actually stayed in Puente Villarente in the last few weeks, or saw anywhere that is open (even a pensión). I’m planning a possible itinerary from Burgos to Astorga starting next week, not wanting to walk more than about 15kms per day. Tricky in winter. I’ll probably stay over in Reliegos, and not keen on 25kms next day into León, so hoping to stop in Puente.
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
For anyone walking after me now - Puente Villarente is closed. Have just whatsappd them. So a long day (for me) from Reliegos to Leon, 25 kms.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
