Camino de Santiago

Day 23. Caracena to San Esteban de Gormaz (30 km)

Another great Camino day – no day is perfect, and often the imperfection is an hour’s walk along an asphalt road. Traffic has never been a problem, though. I won’t bother with a photo of that. We see these structures frequently, but finally figured them out – dovecotes! Some photos from today A man offered…

Day 22. Retortillo de Soria to Caracena (29 km)

This was a long and scenic day. We decided to stick together, since there were supposed to be some difficult sections, and because cell phone reception was iffy. First, a side trip on the GR 86, for which we were really glad to have GPS tracks. Even with them, some time was spent wandering!  The…

Day 21. Atienza to Retortillo de Soria (22 km)

Leaving Atienza, I carried out a meandering tour of the old city, because I couldn’t seem to find my way out. Then the walk had some nice variety. The high point of the day was after pur walking, with a taxi trip to the small but remarkable church of San Baudelio. Laurie had first learned…

Day 20. Sigüenza to Atienza (32 km)

We were staying in different places, Laurie left earlier than I, because she wanted to make a 4 km side trip to see a Romanesque church in Carabias. (In fact we didn’t see each other all day until meeting for dinner at the Hotel Convento de Sta Ana.) I was dressed and ready for rain,…

Day 19. Mandayona to Siguenza (23 km)

We have departed from the traditional Lana route for two days  to take a side route to Siguenza. This is a popular hiking trail, marked very well by associations for 4 different routes.  It  follows the Rio Dulce through green forest, babbling brooks,  dewy grass,  chirping birds, and vultures high in the canyon. What more…

Day 18. Cifuentes to Mandayona (28 km)

Just as we were settling down in our sleeping bags last night, there was a banging at the albergue door.  Two young Spanish cyclists had arrived and were looking for a place to sleep. Since we were occupying the one bedroom, which had 2 sets of bunks (4 beds) plus a stack of 8 mattresses,…

Day 17. Viana de Mondejar to Cifuentes (21 km)

We got up to a foggy morning, but it soon burned off. It was a great day walking. The first major stop was Trillo, a touristy place for hikes to Las Tetas, and an extensive mountain biking park, as well as temporary workers at tge nuclear plant. We sat for quite a while at an…

Day 16. Salmerón to Viana de Mondejar (22 km)

Today involved about 10 km on clay! It wasn’t really wet, but still caked on shoes. I found it VERY tiring and was exhausted in the first half of the day. I didn’t find the day very interesting. We elected not to crawl under the illegal fence blocking the path through Villaescusa de Palositos, so…
