I knew I had a leisurely walk for today – to reach the last of my reserved accommodation. My feet are doing well and my confidence is increasing, so tomorrow I might just wing it and walk further. My only concern is if temperatures go much above 30°C. I see those temps in the forecast…
My distances are not huge – I am taking 3 days to do what “most” people would do in 1 or 2. However, today I feel that I have earned my dinner. Plus dessert! I bid farewell to Guty at 8:45 am and by about 10:15 I had arrived in Villavieja. Don’t know why it…
That’s about 3 km more than the guides say, but I’ve decided to give my own distance, when I measure it. I took my time getting started, and took my time en route, because my AirBnB host (Guty) wasn’t available until 3:30 pm. So, I literally stopped to smell numerous roses and look at flowers,…
I’ve had a good 2 years, not going further than 120 km from my house, but with not much blogging material! The forced pause was, to some degree, a good thing. I stayed healthy, became a regular sourdough bread baker, grew a lot of salad greens in the back yard, and walked a lot. During…
A quick wrap-up of this short camino… It was a great 12-day trip with my daughters. We all had a good walk, and they got a taste of the Camino and what I do every year on my own. This route provided an assortment of good scenery and lodging options, was well-marked and equipped. We…
Last day walking and first day of rain. We started in the rain and heavy mist, heading through a forest and then followed country paths until we got to the outskirts of Burgos. The rain stopped and sun even started peeking through but we were wet and bedraggled and had reached the big city so…
OK, I’ll admit it. Today was not very interesting. Except the Dutch couple came by while we were having lunch in one town – it was nice to have an encounter with someone we had met before. But when I review the photos, I realize it was rather interesting! This was a very nice stretch.…
Today was a bit monotonous – walk, walk, walk. Mostly along fields not too far from the highways and train tracks to Burgos. Get to a dormant village, take a rest. Walk, walk, walk to another village. The nice mayor gets out of his car to welcome us. Do some cross-training if you are so…
