Hey folks.
I started the Mozarabe from Almeria and took time out in Salamanca to do a 3 week Spanish course in USAL.
The course was fine. 4 hours a day. For the first week we had an excellent teacher for the first 2 hours, followed by a practice class of 1 hour that wasn't so great, and an excellent culture class.
Unfortunately for week 2 and 3 our teacher for the first 2 hours was changed to someone who just wasn't very good-at times almost comical. Anyway, overall not the worst experience.
I'm going to stay in the donativo albergue in Salamanca tomorrow, sleep early (given doors close at 10) and be on my way Sunday morning.
I'll do the Sanabres, and i see there's current info on the route in this forum.
I was worried about the (for me) hot weather as I'm not good with temps over 20 when it's sunny but it seems like overcast days are on the way so that should help me cover some distance and get further north.
My other concern is availability of accommodation over holy week. It will all work out im sure, i just don't want to end up overpaying or taking taxis.
