Hornillis Del Camino to Castrojervis
October 16, 2024 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 57 °F
It rains on us for the first 4 hours. The wind was blowing at us pretty badly, but everybody kept good spirits. In the afternoon, the good weather return.

Tomorrow we are expecting rain all day. Most of the terrain is pretty flat, some roving hills.

Check out the pics of some nice churches, not a shortness of them out here. And the socializing does continue at nitetime.Read more
Traveler Hopefully you have a poncho for tomorrow!

Hontanas to San Anton
September 24, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
A glorious day. After yesterday’s balked attempt at rest we had short day today., about 6.5km for me and 10km for Ed. He had no data & we walked together fora while and he looked around at things, we picked blackberries & looked at tiny mice & it was grand. I stopped at San Anton a beautiful Donativo in the ruins of old pilgrim hospital with no power so he continued on to Castrojeriz alone & stayed at the municipale., I had long day here spent resting with lovely group of women. My pilgrim family started to form in Hontanas & continued here. We had home cooked vego meal by candle light. I absolutely loved it. Reset my batteries. Ed did well on his own too.Read more

September 23, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
What a day. I love the Maseta, wide open fields, so expansive. In the morning the wind farms weren’t moving it was so still. I had been feeling overwhelmed with parenting & decided to stop after 10km at an albergue that had a spa. I love a bath or spa. The rest day in Burgos had turned into me waking out to Decathlon twice, & I also hadn’t realised that they would kick us out at 8am to 12, even though we were staying another night. Anyway upshot was it wasn’t actually rest day & today I was struggling, Then we had this mix up & I ended up walking almost all the way back to Hornillos to look for Ed & Ed walked to the next town, poor thing walked 20km in his slides because I had accidentally packed his sock bag into my bag & he had no data so we missed each other. so we both had a big day again. It’s lovely here though & we enjoyed a lovely communal paella & Ed even made an effort to talk to other pilgrims. It was grand 😊Read more

25 kms. This is where Gary ate in our room. OMG I am losing track of days!
As we were leaving town we noted that about 2 kms out, someone abandoned their pack along side of the road. The gal to the left, also was expecting shin splints and could bearly walk. There was a church on top of the hill. It was eventually replaced with one in town, known as the roster church. The church had a small graveyard in the back compound. 58 people lived here in 2018.Read more
Traveler I’ve found you two now and following your pilgrimage all the agonizing Way. Taking a rest day at least once a week makes sense. Be kind to your bodies to enjoy the scenery, Camino experience etc.

Traveler In the book I just read “Walking Home” the writer adored the egg bocadillos and cafes con leche. You’re my heroes for undertaking this personal journey/challenge. 🤗

Had a good day. Legs felt good even carrying our packs. Short walk of 10 plus miles, so this also helped with the legs.

Staying at an albergue that is a donitivo tonight. These are a donation based lodging in the truest sense of the camino. Basically, you pay what you can afford. This place included a pilgrims dinner that was tasty lentil soup and wine, of course. The pilgrims help make the meal and clean up after.

This albergue is in the ruins from an old church and hospital from the 14th century. The current owners wanted it to be a real pilgrims experience. Hence, there is no electricity or hot water, there is a flush toilet...thank god. This is where we met Denise, Loretta, Hannah and Stefan.Read more

Had a long day in the sun! ☀️ Sven, Marco, and I split from the group and continued on to a small sleepy town. We met a strong 79year old man named Terry from Michigan. He was lost and we walked with him for a few miles to help him get to his destination and gave him water 💦. Hoping for a cooler day tomorrow! I started to get plantar fasciitis today 😬 hoping exercises and rolling my foot will stop it from getting worse 🙏🏻. Grateful for kind and caring men, cute little mice, good wine, being able to talk to Ashley, and a bed to lay my head tonight 💕Read more
Traveler Stay strong! Hopefully the food calms down. Advil will also help :/

I had picked up my delivered luggage from albergue San Esteban. It was full, so I had to find other accomodations. I ended up at albergue Rosalia, and Anne-Marie and Robert (Australia), whom I had met on the path also ended up at the same albergue. We all decided to skip the next 6 stages of the camino ( 139.3 kms.). Robert arranged the taxi to take us to the bus station in Melgar for the following morning. From there, we took the bus to León.Read more
Traveler Equipment as modern as what we have in Canada.

Traveler I know!! Pretty impressive! But they had a little cement bucket on the end of the crane, so I don't know how modern that is.
