Oh, you’re right, that town is after Fasgar and before Igüeña. It is the town with the longest name in Spain. Very cute, but likely to be shut up tight during the week out of summertime. My bad, sorry.I can’t see CdC on the list of towns for tomorrow?
Wonderful. Thank you.Oh, you’re right, that town is after Fasgar and before Igüeña. It is the town with the longest name in Spain. Very cute, but likely to be shut up tight during the week out of summertime. My bad, sorry.
I stayed In Quintana de Fuseros at Casa rural El Caruzal in 2014, so that’s a long time ago, but I did some forum searching and see that @Bad Pilgrim stayed there last year.
They are very good people — when I arrived with no where to stay, the mayor called them. They were in Madrid, but sent a relative to open the house for me. They told me to leave the keys on the table and to leave whatever I thought was a fair price. I think they charge pilgrims about 30€. (In 2022, I checked for someone and they told me it was 28 for one, 35 for 2). It’s nothing fancy, but clean and comfortable.
They are on WhatsApp and the number is 34 616 65 96 38
Thank you very much.Have a lovely camino, Mike. (I walked the same route this May) The albergue in Fasgar keeps the cabinet stocked with pasta, beans, etc But If you have the option to stuff pockets with extras enroute - might be a good idea. The Ovidido can be a lean experience
Worth mentioning my cell service cut out approaching Fasgar and it didn't return until out of the mountains until late the next day in Iguena. A local said only Moviestar works in the area (I use Orange cell).
The pass after Fasgar is written up as being difficult, but it's short and felt it was quite easy. I was impressed though with the decent - long and rocky into a beautiful valley and alongside a river….this is probably the only camino bit i've walked in Spain that actually feels like a hike (hike in the good sense, not the derisive sense used on this forumIt's also a section that i think could have improved trail markings. (walked during a big storm, visibility was an issue times and there were a couple areas that needed extra care). Iguena has a well stocked small grocery store and as Peregrina mentions a very nice albergue.
That is because there is now an albergue in Noceda. Are you saying that if you don’t want to sleep in the albergue, it’s better to stay on the “old route” to Labaniego directly? Does the route through Noceda bypass Labaniego? I’ve not walked since the albergue there opened, but I know some local politics is also involved.heads to Noceda.
However, this was not the case today. Just after Quintana de Fuseros the way markers and Wikiloc took a right turn and then drifts across a few places and heads to Noceda. No idea why as the mapy option look much better and head s more directly to Labaniego. It certainly appears better if like me you intend to carry on to Congosto.
Fortunately, I was not going to Labaniego so it did not cost me. Feels like a diversion to Nocieda just because there is an Albergue there. Seems the wrong way around- Albergues need to be where the path goes!I agree - it's is a very odd stage. The apps and trail markers are all out of sync here. The Olvidado association should have a contact number though and imagine they'll address this at some point. From Noceda i found myself almost an hour off track from Lebaniego.
I stayed in Noceda in the spring. It’s a very good albergue and there is apparently a bar about 5 minutes away, but it was closed the day I was there. The Camino goes from there through Lebaniego on the way to Congosto.Yes, if you don’t want to go to Noceda then use the route on mapy. More direct and fewer roads. In any case the Albergue in Noceda does not look like a great option as it seems a long way from anything. The new route goes to No Ed’s and then setback to Labaniego. If you wanted to stay at Noceda there would be no point then going to Labaniego. Better to head directly to Congosto.
Here is the Wikiloc track - https://www.wikiloc.com/wikiloc/view.do?pic=hiking-trails&slug=robledo-de-omana&id=148207560&rd=enAs I am staying at Laura and Anna’s place tonight I see no point in them having to get going early to take me back to Riello. So I checked on Mapy.cz and there seems to be a good track to El Castillo which is on route to Fasgar so I plan to walk from here.
