ПутешественникWe nicked them from Whitehead festival, thought they'd be good for wine
A sad day for mum's flip-flops
10 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Just as we arrived at our final stop for the day, mum's 20-something-year-old sandals finally gave up on her. The walk to the hostel was done barefoot, like a true pilgrim!
ПутешественникThey left her with a very sore toe! Shes trying them again today, fingers crossed.
Day 7: Estella - Los Arcos
11 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C
Started this morning by watching a bull run! Only a few wee cows, but I wouldn't like to be running in front of them
Fountain of Wine

Leaving mum here, she's a happy chappy.
Translation:
If you want to arrive to Santiago strong and full of life, take a swig of this great wine and toast to happiness
Another day another hostel
11 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Albergue Municipial in Los Arcos, decorated with what I'm hoping is not a 'before and after the Camino' painting
Day 8: Los Arcos - Viana - Logroño
12 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
A long walk today. We planned on stopping in Viana but ploughed on the extra 11km to reach Logroño. We are now in the La Rioja region of Spain so we're hoping our cheap wine will taste a littleЧитать далее

Starting slow with a coffee by the lake
(Finally) Arrived at Nájera
13 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
11 hours later, we finally made it. Thankfully this little pit stop helped us to recuperate. The Camino always provides!
Day 10: Nájera - Santo Domingo de la Cda
14 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

Day 12: Belorado - San Juan de Ortega
16 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Walked from world's most boring town #1 to world's most boring town #2 today. Although Martin Sheen found it interesting enough to leave his hand prints. Sandals still in tact, we'll see how tomorrowЧитать далее

Day 14: Burgos - Hontanas
18 августа 2016 г., Испания ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Almost 30km out of Burgos we finally decide to stop! Walked a bit of the way with Mikol, a young German guy that we've met a couple of times. He's very cynical for one so young
