back to fav resto for dinner! (reserved as Peregrino… they remember me!)
@peregrina2000 - you can do it! like Alan Sykes. btw I’m only 72 and never fitter. Good food helps!
(al punto… though the tuna looked amazing!)
choccy dessert
I head back to Blighty tomorrow, courtesy of...
Could I respectfully recommend a summer hike in NORWAY. St Olav’s way from Oslo to Trondheim arriving on 29 July. Santiago is highly respected and features on the West front of the cathedral. Just fabulous!
…. and finally, thanks to @peregrina2000 for recommending SORIA as a destination. Delightful place, full of interest, pedestrianised centre, lovely park and my first storks!
Friday - Calatayud to Malanquilla. I did NOT go to Aniñon which is apparently larger than Cervera de la Canada (which was the last place for food/drink until 2 kms before Malanquilla at the Venta bar on the N234 which used to do rooms and closed early after serving me!). Unless you specifically...
Made it to Soria! The concatedral San Piedro is closed for repairs but I just put on a hardhat and sauntered in!
My tracks are not for the fainthearted!
Calaytud to Malanquilla was very demanding and long. Thereafter there were no bars/restaurants en route and NO TIENDAS. There was food in...
At Luco de Jiloca.
Teleclub Bar is open… and has sidra on tap! Nothing to eat however..
Only one flecha noted on leaving Calamocha.
A hot, humid day. I soon opted for the railway/cycling track. Trees lining the route on both sides, the river meandering by. Sensational bird song and scents.
I have just done some more research on the Albergue in Cervera de la Cañada and attach a Google review…
I booked my route due to the uncertainty, seconded by Alan Sykes aborting his own attempt and locating the via Kunig as an alternative.
I should add that this is a moneyed locale. There are some very good individual, innovative houses around the park area.
The odd one had a touch of ‘Mon Oncle’ about it! (… don’t ask if you don’t get it!)
I did the rounds of Calamocha ‘ville’. Everything is here inc a train station on the N234. A mega Dia.
I had hoped to eat at either Maria’s or El Rincon de Luis - the former closed on Monday and the latter only open at weekends!
The centre is rather restrained after the bustle of the N234. A...
Thank you very much indeed for looking in to this. It is a real start to a fruitful resource.
I will try to suss out 1 and 2.
With regards to 3. Almenar, I am sorry to say that hitherto I have been unable to make contact with the Ayuntamiento. I have asked various tourist offices to call on my...
