And then there were horses at the door
28. august 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
This was something you don't see everyday.. After we had a beer or two we went with a group of guys to a little mini market and when we came out of the store we saw these horses standing in a doorway of a home. The video proves it was not an imagination 🤣Les mer

Early departure means different views
29. august 2023, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
I usually leave the albergue when I can't sleep anymore. And that is usually when people get up and make a lot of noise or turn on lights. It even makes me not use an alarm anymore because I wake up anyway.
This morning was one of those mornings that I woke up very early. And an early departure also means you get to see different views. Some towns just look spectacular in the dark. Also the skies are different in the morning.Les mer

My mom's birthday
30. august 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
Today is the first 30th of August since my mom passed away. It's her birthday and therefore I had to leave a little stone just for her .
Further this day has been my longest hike on the camino with about 38km of distance covered. More distance, more views.Les mer

Friends on the camino
31. august 2023, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
The more you meet the same people the better you get to know them. And at the moment one of my closest friends on the camino is a Hungarian Olympic swimmer named Richard and an Italian who lives in London named Guiseppe. We seem to run into each other every day and are having a blast. Today we Richard and I only did 22km and enjoyed here in Belorado the local festivities.Les mer

Belorado to Atapuerca, day of the flies
1. september 2023, Spania ⋅ 🌙 13 °C
Today I walked from Belorado in the early morning to Atapuerca. In Belorado it was still very clear there had been a big party in town the night before. Some people just couldn't get enough and were welcoming the first pilgrims on their camino.
Most of the day went through a forest and there the flies started to show up. Every pilgrim was talking about the clouds of flies above their heads. In the early afternoon I arrived in a very nice albergue where of course my friend Richard also showed up later.Les mer

Burgos cathedral
2. september 2023, Spania ⋅ 🌧 18 °C
What a beautiful city Burgos is. Of course like every bigger Spanish city, when you arrive there you first have to pass a large industrial area but after that the city is beautiful.
And the crown of that beautiful city is the Cathedral. Oh my god. I spent quite a lot of time there.
The 3D pictures I took don't show well here so I post a few others.Les mer

Vending machines on the camino
2. september 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
Where in France you can retrieve baguettes from a machine, here in Burgos you can even get a pizza straight from a machine.
If it's good, I don't know. I bought the baguette in the store, and today was not pizza night.Les mer

La meseta
3. september 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
Today after leaving Burgos we entered the area known as the meseta. It's a large open area with a few scattered trees but mostly open land with sunflowers or grasses growing on them. They often say this is the most spiritual part of the camino because of its endless views.
The weather was comfortable. Cool, no rain, no sun and because of this plateau there weren't many climbs and descents either. In the end I walked over 41 kilometres to end today's stage in the village called Castrojeriz. One of the most pretty villages of Spain.Les mer

The camino provides
4. september 2023, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
We woke up with rain and then the rain stopped. The forecast didn't look very good, but hey, on other days the forecast was worse than the weather. So maybe today it wouldn't be too bad. I left early and it felt warm. Just had my raincoat nearby but t-shirt and shorts seemed more than enough.
The first part of the day was a pretty steep climb from the picturesque vintage Castrojeriz. And what comes up has to come down so then there was the 18% decline. And with the decline the wind picked up and soon it started to rain. Rivers of water were following down. So I needed to be careful descending. My shoes filled up quickly with water. My shorts, t-shirt and the thin raincoat made me cold. But because of the strong rain I didn't want to open my backpack to search for a sweater.
After a long descent I saw a small church and I entered. It was actually a church converted into an Albergue. And the Italian hospitalera saw me enter, all cold and shivering and she offered me an espresso. This was the best coffee of the day and warmed up my body and my soul. I then helped the lady with taking down chairs from the table and after a little while I continued my camino. I arrived in Frómista around noon. And luckily I did. It had started to rain again 10 minutes before I arrived but it didn't stop for 3 more hours. I was fine. But after me many pilgrims were soaked to the bones.Les mer
