Hello all,
I will be staying in Santovenia and from there to Castanares. It looks like I have 2 route options. I can go to Ages and pick up the variant just after Obaneja Riopico or proceed from Santovenia through Zalduendo, Ibeas de Juarros, and two other hamlets to Castnares. I believe this has been named the "other, other variant" and would like some advice from anyone who has traveled these routes. Thanks!
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
I walked this route in April this year as San Juan de Ortega was full. My partner and I, along with a couple of guys had the 24 bed albergue to ourselves in Santovenia. It was great! - From there we took the alternative route to Burgos which was well marked all the way. For much of the trail you do walk by a road but not too much traffic. There is also a town or two to stop at for supplies. Hope this helps :)
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Walked through Zalduendo and Los Tomillares, you can't go wrong with yellow arrow markers all the way. Going through Ages adds another 5 plus kilometres, I did that route back in 2016.
 
Transport luggage-passengers.
From airports to SJPP
Luggage from SJPP to Roncevalles
Aren't both of those places on the official route after you turn off onto the Santovenia variant?

Well, from Santovenia you have the option of going north west to Ages and continuing through Atapuerca and Orbaneja to the Castanares varient or proceeding sort of south west to Castanares via the Santovenia varient. I was just wondering which is the more pleasant option.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.
