JustJack replied to the thread Bed race on the VDLP….That’s a 36km day from Salamanca. I see there’s a donativa there with 16 beds. Hopefully I arrive early enough for one of those. After spending so much in Salamanca I need a cheap option for the next night in El Cubo. -
JustJack replied to the thread Bed race on the VDLP….It’s 6:10pm, and so far I’m the only one in my albergue… so hopefully I’ve escaped the crowd for the moment at least. Another lesson I’ve learned - the price of accommodation in the bigger cities doubles on weekends. I was hoping to reach...

JustJack replied to the thread Bed race on the VDLP….I was spoiled last year on the CF. They cater to pilgrims on that route. Here I’m just a dude with a backpack. Understandable, as there aren’t enough pilgrims on this route to make it worth their while to cater to them. I need to take weekends...

JustJack replied to the thread Bed race on the VDLP….Thanks Rob, looking at Google maps there may or may not be some place open to eat this evening. Most are closed til tomorrow or the day after. One restaurant says open. Hope Google is correct or it’s going to be a hungry evening… :)
