My husband and I are hoping to walk the alternative route up to and through Las Medulas in August (the mine site itself). Wise Pilgrim (and a couple of comments in the app) say that the alternative a bit confusing as far as following markers. And it looks quite a bit longer than the standard Camino from Borrenes to the town of Las Medulas. WP says it's 11KM.
Has anyone walked the alternative? Is it substantially longer than the standard Camino? I imagine that it's also a lot more rigorous in terms of hills, as well. Our tentative plan is to walk from Borrenes into the park using the alternative and then make our way to Puente del Domingo Flores that evening. Is that too much for one day?
Or are the views from the regular Camino good enough to make the alternative something we can skip and not miss out?
