Yesterday, a link popped up on my Wikiloc account that might interest others on the forum who are looking for a fall-winter-spring route in Andalucia. The Camino de Fray Leopoldo is a newly signposted route that runs from Alpandeire (a village...
Conclusion of my Camino Manchego
I decided in favour of this Camino at very short notice, having actually wanted to walk the Camino del Sur (where it would have been much warmer). I was expecting meseta-like endless deserted expanses. After...
@Caminogoat: Thank you very much. That means a lot to me. And that's exactly what I like about some other blogs. That you don't just find out the technical and infrastructure details, but can also read how the pilgrim felt. And if there's a bit...
Day 5: Sonseca - Toledo (25km officially, 24km for me)
When I arrived at 8.45am in the breakfast room, which was only slightly heated, the hotel employee said it was very cold outside. I looked out of the window and saw hoarfrost on the parked...

I was worried about the drop in temperature. When I stepped out of the hotel at 9.30am it was 5 degrees and I could see my breath. However, the sky was clear and the...
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...
