Probably Rammstein... ;-) On the Via Serrana (day 6) I shouted at barking dogs in German and they fell silent in astonishment. Of course, there is no guarantee...
Day 3: Urda - Los Yebenes (28km officially, 27km for me due to some bushwacking)
I was the only hotel guest at the Casa del Medico, so I was surprised when an incredibly rich breakfast awaited me at 9am, including queso con membrillo (soft...
I've been in Ciudad Real since yesterday evening and will be walking the Camino Manchego in five stages to Toledo from tomorrow. I found very little information about this Camino and decided to do it at very short notice. After the Via Augusta, I...
Day 2: Malagon - Urda (35km officially and for me, as there was no room for error)

I didn't realise just the last 100km numbers on the Primitivo were that high, and to be honest I don't really understand it. Lugo aside, all the best of it is behind you. I get that people might be looking for an alternative to Sarria, but it...
@Damien Reynolds, I am watching with interest, not because I have anything to add that would help, but because I got such wonderful ideas when you asked this question before, and expect to see more in response to this. While it is unlikely that I...
Day 5 08-Dec

The caretaker(hospitalera) lady of the Borres Albergue, who also runs the El Barin cafe offered to make us a delicious dinner yesterday. She made hot vegetables soup, tortillas de...
