Martin on the Camino 2023

Actual name I'm at is Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Up early and was on my way by 7:15. Streets and plazas littered with plastic cups, bottles and cigarette butts from partying the night before. DJ with loud bass played till early morning. Applying Vaseline to feet early morning before 7 am, Hannah who had been in the same room the night before commented " your feet are in good condition". Probably not what the podiatrists would have said the previous couple of weeks or so. Up early as had 22 km to do and reach destination by mid afternoon to secure my accommodation. It took about 6 and a half hours with a stop for breakfast and onother to air my feet and change into thinner socks.
Staying tonight in accommodation run by some religious order. When I didn't get reply to my emails I phoned them last night and they only had a room with 2 beds. So I got there in time and have a room for myself. If you look at one of the pictures my room is the one with the smaller balcony. There's an interesting story about the church which I can tell later. I am eating the vegan option in restaurant and it comes with a full bottle of wine. At least I am getting my greens as picture shows.Read more
