I was planning for a 25 km day, but when I saw the sign pointing 3 km downhill to another pre-Romanesque church, San Pedro de Nora, I couldn’t resist. Good thing it was early in the day, or IЧитать далее

My GPS says 33km and 1077 m elevation gain. I believe the kms but not the elevation. I think that’s way too much. Anyway, in spite of the rain, it was really a pretty good day. When I woke up atЧитать далее
Путешественник You really sound like you’ve found your Camino flow, Laurie (and I’m not talking about the rain!). Delighted it’s going so well for you x

I woke up to a much better forecast than what I had seen last night. No rain in the forecast!!! 31 km and another 700 m elevation so I am getting in the swing. But I can see that the pace that’sЧитать далее
Путешественник A beautiful day! Did you see any sign of Pana - the man who lives in the stone house (second photo) above Tineo?
Laurie Reynolds I peeked around but didn’t see anyone. Do you know who Letizia is? There’s a sign that says “Mirador de Letizia.”such a gorgeous stretch.

I had my first communal dinner last night, in a big room with a window and door wide open. It was fun and the food was great. So nice not to have a dinner with french fries and other greasy stuff.Читать далее

This is my fourth time on the Primitivo. Every time I have wanted to visit the Bronze Age hill fort about 5 km beyond the typical stopping point. So this year since I’m sleeping only in privateЧитать далее
Путешественник Sorry you weren't able to visit the fort but it's so wonderful to read about your visit with the woman on a bench and hear about her connection to the land. I stayed at the casa rural there - is Begonia still running it?
Laurie Reynolds Yes it’s still Begonia. She is quite a character. Her husband is a negative surly man, but she is a charmer.

This was a beautiful walk, except for a few kms in a logging forest, and with a lot more elevation than I remembered. Wikiloc tells me it was 34 km and 920 m up. Five years ago that was a walk in theЧитать далее

I keep noticing all of the ferns along the side of the road. What fantastic views you have as you journey.
Путешественник really enjoying you sharing your journey with us, Laurie. Grab all the luxury you can find along the way.

By 1:00 I was in my hotel and washing clothes. I will have all afternoon to enjoy this beautiful city. The walk was much nicer than I remember it, and I am assuming they have taken huge chunks off theЧитать далее
Путешественник The Roman Walls around the city are amazing. I read that they are a World Heritage site. What a treasure!

Beautiful pictures, all of them, Laurie. Nils and I have been enjoying your posts. The Camino is giving you peace, solitude, immersion in nature and cultural highlights. What a perfect combination!

Well there was a lot for me to do. First I walked the Roman walls and occasionally felt like I was intruding into someone’s private space as their windows opened onto the path.
Then a real splurgeЧитать далее
Путешественник Who would have thought you would need to take a sewing kit on a Camino??
Путешественник Lovely blue skies Laurie! Better than the rain in France! Need to catch up on your writing? Will you be staying with my friends in Ponte Ferreira? Probably not since you're keeping to private rooms.
Путешественник Beautiful pics! Is that ahi poke? In Lugo?? Amazing. It's sad to read about your shirt - fond memories of seeing you in it on the Baztan.
Путешественник Ohhh, now I want to walk the Primitivo again. Beautiful first day photos Laurie! San Pedro de Nora is stunning!!
Путешественник Oh, this really makes my feet itch!
Путешественник Exquisite!!!
