- Time of past OR future Camino
- Next up: Viejo/Olvidado
Hi! I don't have an idea of when I'll be able to do one of these options but want to be ready when the opportunity arises. I have lots of routes on my 'to do' list, including both the Olvidado and the Lebaniego/Vadiniense. So now I'm thinking of just doing them in one go!
This would mean missing out on the Bilbao - Cistierra stretch on the Olvidado though, and I'm not sure if that is a good trade off. From what I've read and seen pictures of, the stretch from Bilbao to Aguilar de Campoo is ok (scenery wise) but the route gets more mountainous (my favourite) from that point. So I suppose the question is which is the better option: Aguilar de Campoo to Cistierra or San Vicente to Cistierra? If you had to choose one, which would you do?
I have spent time in the Picos before (Potes and Fuente De) so that might factor into the final decision, but I am very curious about a comparison of these sections! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
