    Nesting storks, a very friend but nosey dod and wide open fields of crops. A pleasant dry walk across the countryside through a couple of small villages. Still feeling the effects of yesterday's hike through the mountains which we can hardly see as they are only just visible on the horizon.Leer más

  • La Puebla De Arganzon

    27 de abril de 2024, España ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

    A day that was half wet and half windy through hills and countryside with a 200 m climb. The 3 small settlements we passed through had nothing to offer so no breakfast or coffee today. Arrived in La Puebla at 13.30 with enough time to get a good lunch.Leer más

    28 de abril de 2024, España ⋅ ☀️ 6 °C

    A nice warm and dry day for a walk through some very pleasant countryside. Passing through the first small settlement of the day but no cafe. Snow is visible on the tops of distant mountains but at least two ridges away.Leer más

    Another small settlement with no coffee but in the river, under the bridge in the picture there were mirror carp in excess of 30 lbs grubbing up the river bed.

  • Miranda del Ebro

    29 de abril de 2024, España ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    An excellent albergue and very, very well protected from the locals. Doors and gates locked at all times and laundry guarded. This must be the most well provided albergue we have yet seen and spotlessly clean. The old town is in a very poor state but I did manage to see a large pike hunting in the Ebro as I crossed the bridge.Leer más

    30 de abril de 2024, España ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    Another one horse town with no services or facilities. So cold now because the wind is blowing over the snow covered mountains straight over the plato. Needing to walk with one hand holding my hat on my head. Walking towards Briviesca for tonight's stop.Leer más

  • Briviesca

    30 de abril de 2024, España ⋅ 🌬 17 °C

    A nice compact town but the new albergue is not finished and not open yet so the tourist office have arranged for us to stay in a social housing flat that is being kept free as a reserve albergue. Tonight it is raining and freezing and if we put on the heaters the electricity trips.Leer más

    1–8 may. 2024, España ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

    It is far too cold to be walking in the countryside. The day started at 5 degrees and with a very sharp west wind feels even colder. Walked 15 km before finding a source of coffee and tortilla. Not much to photo and too much hard surface walking.Leer más

  • Monasterio de Rodilla

    1 de mayo de 2024, España ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Arrived early afternoon at a nice albergue which is the health consultation room for the village on the ground floor and we have the first floor. The village bar owner is on holiday so bread, cheese and chorizo from the village store for dinner. It may be Labour day and a public holiday but no one is out celebrating it is too cold. It warmed up to the tropic temperature of 9 degrees this afternoon but will drop quickly to a predicted 1 degree tonight.
    Only one more stage remaining into Burgos tomorrow and the Via Bayona will be completed; around 300 km.
