It certainly is! Hence the "other routes in Spain" tag. The forum also has one for other pilgrimages and walks around the world.I don't know if it is allowed here to talk about "caminos" not connected with Santiago or at least with the Iberian Peninsula, but I'll try anyway. At the end this is Spain too!
it's funny but before reading your comment @Peterexpatkiwi I was out to dinner with friends to whom I told about the problem. The reaction of one of them was immediately “okay, but you can always call a cab!”.How hard and expensive would it be to get a taxi to and from some nearby point?
Is that even conceivable?
Exactly what I was wondering. Because otherwise even with an early morning start you're likely looking at 4 l for a 20 km a daycould a water filter help out? so that you can filter water on the way instead of carrying it in?
You're welcome!Hi! No advise, just following. I'm planning to do a multiple canary island tour this october and Palma is high on my list. Your detailed walks are great, thank you!
Actually signs are great for most of the routes. Always redundant, in particular on the GR-130 and 131.... except in a few points in my experience, and that's why I use Komoot on my Garmin watch.Is the route signposted at all?
This is a classic. For what concern maps here I use a 1:30000 from freytag&berndt (in German) called... well... La Palma. Note that most of the resource are not updated after the 2021 Volcano lava that interrupted the connection from the South to the East. Now, things are improving but I do not know yet exactly how I will eventually walk through the solidified lava flow from Los Canarios to Los Llanos.Any guidebooks or websites, apart from Komoot?
Try "Albergues" on Booking etc. I never tried them but some of them looks good. It's possible to do the full GR-130 using them, but not the GR-131 that needs free camping (illegal, but accepted so far, as there are not very many people walking... yet).Info on the refuges? Where would I be able to find them and their opening details?
In most of the case the answer is no. On my hike today there were no fountains at all, and there is a single stream in the whole island. There are many big tanks for the platanos but they are not accessible.I can imagine that high summer may not be ideal, could a water filter help out? so that you can filter water on the way instead of carrying it in?
Well, I think I drank 3-4 liters of water since I got back home...Enjoy the process!
Take care!
Thanks!... and... no, Komoot usually works fine. This time it didn't. However, signs are rare and sometimes hidden in the first part, and having the map on my watch was essential.Wow, adding 30% to the day’s walk is pretty significant! Is Komoot normally fairly accurate?
