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…
Here we are in May 2022 and I am about to revive my blog. I found a couple of draft posts written some time ago but never published, and I’ve decided to hit the “publish” button for this one even though it is more appropriate to August. I love the title of this post and…

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…
[I just discovered that I had prepared these drafts but must have been waiting for inspiration before posting. It is time to get them done, so I can plan my next Camino.] Back to October… Today was a great day of walking, with varied scenery and many ripe figs. Even some apple trees by the…
