You might start with a short 21km day and stay in the very beautiful Embalse de Alcantra (book in advance just in case) this is the only place I booked, told a lot of locals use it at weekends. Bring food with you as they do not have a full kitchen and it is just microwaved grub. Today I will post photographs of my journey between Casar and Carcaboso, the dam is great.Dermot Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337937458330260473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348649256282718460.post-63843753951198608972014-04-04T08:45:44.083+01:002014-04-04T08:45:44.083+01:00David, Hello, I had no problems with singage, it t...David, Hello, I had no problems with singage, it takes different forms, the yellow arrow, the Via de la Plata metal cubes (with the yellow line going through the arch), granite block. Sometimes in a town it can be tricky but go to a tourist office or just ask (I speak hardly any Spanish). If you do go off route try to enjoy it.<br />Early Sept will be still hot so plenty of water, suncream and shorter distances.Dermot Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05337937458330260473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5348649256282718460.post-63023124392623921962014-04-04T07:54:47.617+01:002014-04-04T07:54:47.617+01:00Ah I just loved these photographs.
