islandwalker reacted to AlanSykes's post in the thread LIVE from the Camino Manzanal alternative and Invierno from Astorga with
Like.
The helpful person in the tourist office strongly recommended not walking up the Puerto del Manzanal instead of the usual route. Grudgingly admitting that the two are almost equidistant, especially if you allow for the massively greater ascent to... -

Another early start. The official camino leaves by the side of a quite busy main road, but I took the vía verde - safer in the dark, and shorter too. Eventually, presumably, the arrows will follow the new rail trail, clearly still being expanded...
