Camino de Santiago 2024

Long day -over 20 miles down. Today was the first day I really didn’t want to put on the backpack and it felt heavy when I did. Leaving town the was a decent climb and then descent back onto the Meseta.
My attitude improved after realizing the climb was easier than expected. But the miles dragged on and I didn’t reach my destination until 5:00. I had to walk this far because there weren’t any rooms in the 2 previous town.
The alburgue I’m staying at is on a farm in an agricultural town. A burro and a goose were drying to eat the pilgrim’s laundry as it dries on the clothes line.Läs mer

It was amazing to just be in a city today. After touring the beautiful cathedral, some of us attended mass. Then we had a relaxing afternoon eating delicious food.
Then the reality hit and we performed our daily tasks of laundry and planning where to stay for the next few nights..
The evening was spent eating the rest of our picinic food with some new friends in the kitchen of our alburgue. Tomorrow - back to walking.Läs mer
