I have sent my updates to Max who will kindly update his guide when he can - but all I will say here is - take advantage of every opportunity to buy food and eat when you can - even if it means waiting for a shop to open! <br />Also - in Segovia - I can highly recommend staying at a wonderful hostel - Hostel Duermo Vela run by Blanca - near the roman acquaduct - so that you can have a day in Segovia to recover - the first four days are hard going - and then stay in Zamarramarala the next night.<br />Any questions you may have - do ask - it is wonderful - very very different to the Camino Frances.<br />Buen Camino <br />Jane<br />Jane Mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154975296359333990.post-48817141085666919732013-01-16T09:56:42.676+00:002013-01-16T09:56:42.676+00:00Thank you for this report.
