    27May Singapore

    27 Mei 2018, Singapura ⋅ 29 °C

    Luscious full breakfast at HFC after nespresso in bed to wake up. Had morning swim till the forecast rain arrived. Checked out at noon then walked down to Smith St Chinatown having late lunch of soya chicken at the very professional (and air conditioned) Michellan Star Hawker Stall, weirdly followed by a great portugese tart. Back for late afternoon pool relaxation time before the next flight.Baca selengkapnya

    28 May Singapore to Barcelona

    28 Mei 2018, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C

    Overnight flight landed at 7:30am. Staying in El Born again in Hotel Mercer Boria. Love this area with its eclectic mix of shops - boutiques, handbags, jewellery mixed in with bars, cafes, indian mini markets. No chain stores here.
    Took metro to Montjuic with views over the city, visited 1992 Olympic Stadium.
    Home dinner of empanadas with tomato and avacado.    Baca selengkapnya

    29 May Barcelona Montserrat Visit

    29 Mei 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 19 °C

    Slept well and enjoyed substantial included breakfast complete with custom scrambled eggs. Spent a wonderful day at Montserrat which is the second most important catholic pilgrimage site in Spain but also has incredible rock formations and walks.
    Back to Barcelona and hunted down the Dow Jones Bar in Carrer de Bruc. Temporary issue for a capiroska with shortage of limes but order was filled at EUR5.95, then the price was up to 6.45. Barman said its all “run by the software”.
    Other interesting fashion shops in the same street catering to wholesale trade but also allows retail.
    Tapas for dinner at Santa Caterina including octopus, pesto and white beans.    Baca selengkapnya

    31 May Barcelona to Zaragoza

    31 Mei 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 20 °C

    An easy 2 hour high speed train to a new city. Zaragoza feels quite authentic and relatively untouristed. Hotel Pilar Plaza is nice and right across from the basilica. Pablo Gargallo museum and several sculptures in the vicinity showcase this Zaragoza natives work - he was clearly influenced by Picasso and Rodin. Dinner of six lamb chops and potatoes and vino blanco at Los Xarmientos was good, then rain sent me home at 10pm.Baca selengkapnya

    1 June Zaragoza

    1 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Warm day and full of activities. Walked to the Aljufiera (twice as they decided to close it as parliament was sitting), crossed the roman bridge and visited the Goya museum. Food wise started the day with churros con chocolat, then later sipped a granizada limon in the main plaza under the shade of the magnolia trees in the middle of the day. Lunch was a rustica roll with jamon purchased from the supermarket and dinner was tapas of bacalhao, albondigos and verdeljo.Baca selengkapnya

    3 June Burgos to Leon

    3 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 12 °C

    Had a lovely breakfast in cafe by the river, walked up to the castle, then stumbled on the Corpus Christi celebration parade. Over to the Monestary de Los Huelgos with its ornate interior where guided tour is mandatory and extremely detailed but only espanol. 2 hour train to Leon which has a completely different feel - less relaxed, more hustle. Dinner with hikerpie and nova scotia girls.Baca selengkapnya

    4 June Leon

    4 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 9 °C

    Cold, rainy day 8-13 degrees but spent fairly leisurely. Had a real breakast at Hotel Via Leon, then met the Joshua Tree and Nova Scotians from yesterday for the tour of San Isidoro monastry where we looked down into the church from above. Enjoyed sangria and tapas lunch with them. In Leon every drink (2eur) comes with a tapas.
    The stained glass in Leon Cathedral was amazing. Built in 13th century in 50 years.
    Had a home dinner of tuna, rocket and tomatoes from Casino supermarket.    Baca selengkapnya

    9 Jun Lugo to Sarria

    9 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 19 °C

    Decided to break the “no breakfast” tradition and took the 4 star hotel breakfast. Meet Mandy from Perth whose camino I had been following who was now travelling with her husband so I put them onto Las Medulas. Enjoyed the fine morning in Lugo with the excellent free Municipal Museum - Picasso, Chagall, Miro, Velasque, whole corridor of sundials, mosaics and paintings by modern spanish artists ( many from Pontevedra).
    Quick bus trip to Sarria where i met Lynn and Sabine from Brisbane. I was staying on the edge of the modern town but once going up the steep steps to the main street, it was a surprisingly nice place. Met the Brisbane girls for dinner up there and enjoyed grilled veges and pollo a la plancha.    Baca selengkapnya

    10 Jun Walk Sarria to Portomarin

    10 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 19 °C

    Set off before 8am back up through the old town. Scenery was really pretty through lush green forests. Stopped for coffee, then a queso cheese and honey pancake from a woman who had set up a donation box at her front gate. When she opened the honey pot there was a live bee swimming round in it. Walked most of day with surfing couple from Phillip Island before i stopped a couple of kms out of Portomarin for a spinch, cheese mountain bread. Casa do Maestro was lovely, so sat round, looked at the two churches, then nice Pilgrims Menu dinner of squid stew, beef stew with salad and Santiago Pie for dessert.Baca selengkapnya

    11 June Portomarin to Casa Calixtino

    11 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 18 °C

    Enjoyed plentiful included breakfast, left bag at reception and hit the road just after 8am. Again lush chestnut forests with the highlight being the little visited roman ruins at Castromaior. Drizzle started round noon so not ideal but plodded on stopping for a potato tortilla and arriving at Casa Calixtino which has since been invaded by a horde of spaniards so i fear disturbed sleep. Menu dinner was tuna salad, big chunk of merluza and flan.Baca selengkapnya

    12 June Casa Calixtino to Casa Blanca

    12 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 13 °C

    Happy to leave the spanish groups behind and walk with 3 irish and one english woman stopping for food/beer every 3kms till my turnoff at Casa Nova ( or we’re looking for casanova as it became). No one else out, no rain and lush green forests, cute tiny villages and tavernas. Parted ways at sign to Casa Blanca which was 1.3 kms off the camino. Walked a further 4kms return to Castle Pambre alongside a river, through oak and chestnut forests.
    Dinner was much more upmarket - salad of greens, bacon, blue cheese, walnuts, then beef cheek and quince paste with cheese ice cream. Anticipate a quiet nights sleep.    Baca selengkapnya

    13 June To Melide

    13 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 11 °C

    Casa Blanca breakfast was very upmarket then i retraced my steps the 1.3km back to the camino. There were some nice forest stretches and little village churches but some next to busy highway and through light industry.
    Final approach to Melide through Founelos and its old stone bridge over a bubbling river was beautiful. My pension looked rather ordinary outside but was new and quiet inside. Lunched on octopus at the famous Ezequiel Restaurant and was not disappointed. Long communal benches in a big space were packed. Sat with Argentinian spanish couple. Waiter said they go through 200 kilos of octopus per day.
    Had a siesta, then sangrias in a bar in the sun at the major intersection where I met Scot and Jota. Dinner was a Caldo Gallego (cabbage soup) and another octopus at the same restaurant.    Baca selengkapnya

    14 June Melide to Arzua

    14 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 21 °C

    Yummy churros and coffee from local cafe to fuel the lovely16km walk through forests of oak, chestnut and gum trees and rolling hills. Stopped at the No Camino cafe for a tostada and french practice. The sun was shining and there were few walkers out. Had an afternoon albarino and siesta and dinner at Teodora Restaurant with Scot from Scotland and Jota from Madrid, both fun characters. Jota was suffering from blisters as he trained by running 5 kms at a time, so got blisters as soon as he exceeded the 5km mark.Baca selengkapnya

    15 June Arzua to Salceda

    15 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 16 °C

    Stretched out the very good included breakfast (complete with scrambled eggs) to leave late as it was only a short walking day. Met Linda and Michael from Washington DC who were well equipped Christians who had walked from SJPDP. The sun was gone so the forest, hills and little cafe bars didn't look quite as appealing today. The Pension Alborada was very comfortable for an easy afternoon but as it was reasonably isolated there was only one real place for dinner. Surprisingly it was a good and simple place which enabled me to have a decent dinner and then a good nights rest.Baca selengkapnya

    16 June 27km into Santiago

    16 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 14 °C

    This was a big 27 km walk to the finish line. I was very focussed and set off without much delay and just plodded. I had heard reports that this last leg was ugly as it skirts Santiago Airport, but it was actually very pleasant - some road and traffic sections but also some forests. Made it in to the main square reasonably easily, then met up with Scott, Helen, Jota for a drink and dinner.Baca selengkapnya

    17 June Santiago

    17 Juni 2018, Spanyol ⋅ 13 °C

    Had a pleasant breakfast in the lovely garden of Costa Vella, then noon mass at the Cathedral where I was lucky enough for the Botafumiero to fly - amazing. It was worth 1.5 hours of standing through a catholic mass!
    Lunched at Gato Negro on the recommendation of Roberto of Costa Vella with Scot (Scotland) and Helen (Adelaide who had walked from Paris to Santiago) . Very authentic with better pulpo than Melide and excellent mussels. Walked round this beautiful town, through the cathedral before pre dinner sangrias and guitarists in one square (born to be wild) and then an orchestra in the next one.
    Dinner at Maria Castana (also recommended) and again fantastic. Mussels with boiled potatoes, chorizo with ‘turnips’ (spinach to me), lightly fried baby octopus.
    Slept well in courtyard facing room in the new hotel.    Baca selengkapnya
