Sorry, but no time to write much, or search through photos. I had lots of thoughts while walking and should probably learn to dictate them, but I haven’t, so you are spared. It was a very pleasant walk to the luxurious albergue in Villavieja. Five of us – from Canada, Australia and Spain – spent…
I waited patiently for dawn, and got up early. Laurie slept 12 hours, so I was outside the hotel when she finally texted me. I knew that she would be so full of energy, compared to me, that I decided to start tomorrow’s stage, and only afterwards do the Gibraltar touristing with whatever energy remained.…
Here we go again. I make no promises about this blog, but will try. The secret is to never miss a day. Once I get behind, it is soooo hard to catch up! The Plan Meet Laurie from Chicago (my companion for most of the Lana last year) in La Linea de la Concepción and…

Yay! Our first day of only walking, even if it was only 17 km. Very pleasant – rain threatened early but did not materialize. Most of the walk was on country paths or along the river. In Zegama we are esconced at the Pensión, feeling satisfied after menús del día, and thinking about an early…
Our walk began with a 2 km stretch to the train station, where we proceeded to ride to Alegía. Then we walked about 13 km to Beasain – mainly on a paved walking/cycling path along a road without too much traffic. It was sunny and warm. Several towns with food and drink were available. In…
