      El Cascayal reacted to Robo's post in the thread Pilgrimage - selfish? with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
      For me, Pilgrimage on the Camino is a deeply spritual, emotional and introspective journey. This is the main reason I prefer to walk alone. Though it really has nothing to do with walking or hiking. I don't hike at home at all. The walking is...

      Here’s a link to the most recent version. And for those who are inclined to contribute to Donativo efforts, here is a way to contribute to Ender’s efforts. He writes guides, he builds physical infrastructure, he works with mayors, and just spend...

      I found some of the descents on the Salvador ridiculously steep (anything after the highest point at the Salvador cross and San Miguel del Rio) - but I haven’t walked the Primitivo yet so can’t tell you if they are steeper or not. I wore mountain...

      In general, I found the San Salvador pretty similar in the ways you ask about (terrain, heat, navigation) to the Primitivo. Just a lot more concentrated since it is less than half as long. A day to get into the mountains. Several days of gorgeous...

      It is way better to reserve ahead of time. Trains often sell out. It is a big risk to wait until the last minute. Easy to download the RENFE app. Schedules are usually published no earlier than 60 days prior to travel for most trips. Tarjeta...

      El Cascayal reacted to peregrina2000's post in the thread Descent into Molinaseca with Like Like.
      Have you walked this route, @AlwynWellington? There are many places to find GPS tracks, including wikiloc, but what I’d love to see is a report from someone other than me who has walked this alternative! It kills me that people are going over to...

      oh, people, I want to shout from the rafters. Walk the Puentes de Malpaso trail from Riego to Molinaseca. It is shady, green, beautiful, and not steep or rocky.

      Several local news websites are reporting that two pilgrims have been taken to hospital with injuries after being attacked by a cow. The incident took place about 10km north of Fuenterroble de Salvatierra. One pilgrim has been seriously injured...
    • El Cascayal
      Sad, worrying. In the UK there are literally thousands of cow attacks each year and some deaths - we have many footpaths that go over farmland - but people here still treat them as if they are just cute friendly animals - they aren't. I was...
