I wasn't expecting a Woody Allen statue
June 5, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
I was surprised to see this statue of Woody Allen in Oviedo. Apparently the city awarded him one of its highest honors back in 2002.

Oviedo

Just a few pictures from Oviedo, which is the end point for the Camino del Salvador. The Cathedral here houses many relics, including the cloth that is said to have covered Jesus's face. However the one on display is only a replica.Read more

A looooong day
June 3, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 72 °F
I decided to do a 30 km walk today which usually wouldn't take me more than 5-7 hours, but because of the terrain and lots of ups and downs I was walking for over 10 hours.
The trail was very overgrown in parts, and many parts were very rocky and steep, which made it very slow going.
I decided to do this long walk because the weather was really good for it - temperatures in the 70s and partly cloudy. And there's a good chance of rain tomorrow, so I'm glad that I did it today, even though I'm very tired.
Since I crossed over into Asturias today, which is known for its sidra (cider) I'm having dinner in a sidreria.Read more

Today was all about climbing - and sweating. But I was rewarded with these spectacular views.

Day one of Camino del Salvador
June 1, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
There was a mailbox with a notebook along the trail today for those walking this route to sign in on. There were also some first aid supplies inside.
I also walked through oak forests and by fields with wild lavender, and if course more wild poppies. I didn't see any other walkers until I was just a couple of miles from my destination.
I also thought that there would be a café in the small town that I walked through about 1.5 miles into my walk. There was one, but since it was Saturday it wasn't open yet. So I had to make do with some peanut M&Ms until I finally reached a town with a bar/café after about 13 miles.
More pictures to come. Having trouble uploadingRead more

Leaving the familiar behind

I'm leaving the Camino Francés - the most popular route, which I've done twice, and starting on the Camino del Salvador, which has much fewer people, and is more mountainous.

Since I took an alternate route yesterday to stay at the albergue that my friend Nan was volunteering at I had a longish walk (about 12 miles) before breakfast. I started just as the sun was coming up.Read more

A friendly face from home!
May 29, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 61 °F
My friend Marcella emailed me yesterday to let me know that Nan Schulman from our Camino group in Oregon was volunteering as a hospitalera "somewhere on the Meseta". It turned out that the town she's in was a good stopping point for me today.

This is a very quiet town of about 150 people. Quite a few of the buildings are built of straw and adobe.Read more
Barbara Brown You look happy Terri. Your pictures are great. You should try painting the poppy field when you get home.

The "halfway" point
May 29, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F
This marks the halfway point between Roncesvalles and Santiago. But I started farther back in France, and I won't be continuing on the Camino Frances. Instead, when I reach León in a few days I will go on the Camino del Salvador, which goes north through the mountains to Oviedo.Read more
Marcella TheemanCan't wait to hear about the del Salvador.

I met this couple this morning. He is traveling along the Camino under his own power in his wheelchair. They have chosen parts of the Camino that are smoother and flatter, but I was still amazed at him. He is using a standard wheelchair with a detachable large front wheel that helps him navigate the terrain.Read more

First two days of the Meseta
May 26, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 43 °F
Some people think that this part of the Camino is boring. In fact today I talked briefly with a woman who commented on my cheeriness, then said how boring the landscape was. All that I could see was and endless blue sky and picture perfect clouds. Not to mention a gorgeous field of poppies!Read more
Karen's TravelsHow is that boring. So green and beautiful. It was so brown on my Camino in September but I loved it.

This tiny town is a hidden gem on the Camino. The municipal albergue is very well laid out with single beds two to a room. I'm sharing a room with Diane from England who I met on my first day on the Camino. The albergue also has a nice courtyard with a fountain.
Additionally, just out of town is the Jardín Botánico de la Rioja. The most wonderful thing about the gardens is that you are encouraged to walk barefoot on the cool grassy paths, which felt fantastic on my feet after a long walk.Read more

Saturdays in Logroño are busy! Saw multiple bachelor/bachelorette parties with people in costumes.
Enjoyed tapas with several people on Calle del Laurel.
TravelerI loved Logroño. That’s where I met Lonnekevfrom Holland and we got to experience Semana Santa - I think it was Holy Saturday. .
