Camino Portuguese Valenca-SdC April 2018
I'm now thinking about the next stage of my Camino at the end of April - I'm only walking for 5 days from Puente la Reina.
I have some back, hip and foot issues so cannot carry my pack for long, and I plan on using Correos or Jacotrans. Which means I need to have a rough idea of where I will be staying to have the pack sent ahead. 15km a day is a perfect distance for me, though 20km is doable.
I will definitely stay in Villatuerta (a bed at Casa Magica is already reserved) and Villamayor de Monjardin.
But then... Sansol or Torres del Rio - which is better/nicer? Any albergue or restaurant recommendations? Please tell me of your experiences if you stayed in either place. This day will be my 59th birthday so where might be the best place to celebrate it?
And the day after will be May 1st, a national holiday. Should I stop in Viana where I read there is a very nice parochial albergue, or push on to Logrono?
If it's any help I prefer villages and small towns to larger settlements - and I love good food and wine.
PS If anyone reading this will be walking at the same time - come and share a bottle of Rioja with me!
