Easy walk today. Wish I'd stayed in Astorga another night. Walked alone but had great chats with Charley at breakfast and second breakfast. Ended up in a huge group chatting then eating at the end of the day. Robert, Sabina, Mark, Kathy, James, Bill, Katie, Jacky, Sam, Chris, Elizabeth, Rick, Charley, Rowena.Read more

Rabanal del Camino to Acebo Wed 31

Only 16km today but big uphill then difficult downhill. So stoney and easy to get injured. Views were superb. Stayed in a dorm for €12 which was excellent.

People carry stones from home and leave them here as a way of relieving themselves of a particular burden. They also leave mementoes of loved ones.
I already left my stone for Mum at the Virgin Mary statue in the PyreneesRead more

Acebo de San Miguel to Ponferrada
June 1, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Easy walk today although tricky first part due to the terrain. Only about 15km but got a huge one tomorrow to get to the accommodation that's booked. Walked with Rowena and Fanny from Austria 😁 [comments welcome] Tried to get a beard trim but the beardy bastard had no appointments left. Sat with Regina from Dusseldorf and had a beer until could check in to the room. Ponferrada is a cool place. Would be a good place to have an extra night.Read more
TravelerSitting with Fanny and Regina? Are you away walking with Benny Hill?

Ponferrada to Ambasmestas
June 2, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Left Ponferrada at about 6.30am as I had a huge distance ahead. It was warm from the start. Had a good break at Villafranca and met Bill, Chris, Rowena and Salim. There was a barber shop right next to the bar and I managed to get my beard trimmed. Easy money for Carlos at €10 for 2 minutes work. Didn't get to the destination until after 6pm🤣It just seems so easy and normal to walk all day now. Rest day tomorrow then fairly short distances until Santiago, I think. I am anxious about it all ending.Read more
TravelerYou can start to plan your what next Tony….starting with a beer or 2 with me down Torrevieja way 😎🍻

Stopped after a few Km and met Rowena at the brekkie stop then also met Aleta. Hadn't seen her since Leon. It was so nice as she is now with her daughter and niece. Stopped again at Las Herrerias and spoke to John from Switzerland. He had no English so we spoke in Spanish which was cool. Met Hazel from East Kilbride lol then had drinks with Bill US, Sean BRUM and Kate from Poland.Read more
