Things worth knowing
It was the winter route
When the Francés and the coast were unsafe or impassable, pilgrims used this inland line instead. It fell out of use, was re-waymarked only recently, and is still one of the quietest routes in Spain.
Staying connected on the Camino Olvidado
It stays inside Spain the whole way. Walked at an ordinary pace it takes about 17 days, so a plan needs to be valid for at least that long — the days start counting when the eSIM first connects on the trail, not when you buy it.
Coverage on the trail itself is good in towns and along the main valleys and thin in between — that is true of every network, and it is why the useful habit is downloading tomorrow's stage tonight rather than buying a bigger bundle.
