    • Día 26

      La croix de la forme!

      14 de mayo de 2023, España ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Chemin de Compostelle 19/40
      Étape #12. Camino francés" Atapuerca à Burgos. Kilomètres parcourus: 22 km. Cumulatif : 517,3 km, 25,9 km de moyenne par jour. Étapes restantes avant Saint-Jacques de Compostelle : 20.

      Aujourd’hui nous avons surpassé les kilomètres effectués en 2017 (Camino de la Norte). Nous avions fait 480,5 km et aujourd’hui avec le même nombre de journées (18) : 482,3 km, 6 ans plus tard.

      Pour notre aventure, nous avons établi que nous aurions 4 stades du défi Compostelle.

      Les voici:
      1- Souffrances et adaptations
      (Secteur des Pyrénées, montées de 1 240 mètres)

      2-Réussite et et mise en forme
      (Après 18 jours, résistance dans les montées exigeantes).

      3-Endurance physique et mentale
      (Les étapes 13 à 19 Meseta centrale, 200 km pendant 7 jours).

      4- Sommet et accomplissements
      (Arrivée à Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle).

      Nous sommes arrivés au 3e stade du défi. Pas par pas, toujours devant !

      Une excellente journée pour ma part, j’étais en feu et dangereusement en forme. On a eu une montée de 1,5 kilomètres pour atteindre 1 077 mètres d’altitude et nous avons attaqué cette épreuve sans s’arrêter, atteignant notre second souffle, super sensation.

      Au sommet, nous avons pris une photo. Merci aux 3 américains du Washington DC pour la prise de photo.

      Puis nous sommes arrivé à Burgos ; 173 000 habitants. Quelle belle ville, la plus belle que j’ai vue à ce jour. En plus c’est : “Fiesta de las Flores “ le festival des fleurs. Il y a beaucoup de monde dans les rues. Marcello a mentionné dans son journal aujourd’hui que les Espagnols multipliaient les “Buen Camino” dans le parc de Burgos, c’est tout à fait vrai. Ils ont un respect des pèlerins c’est remarquable de voir ça.

      Demain c’est congé de marche avant d’entreprendre “L aMeseta Centrale”. Étape de 200 km en 7 jours consécutifs.

      Buen Camino 🤗

    • Día 17–19

      D16- Atapuerca to Burgos 20km

      29 de mayo, España ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      When we left Atapuerca this morning there was a chill in the air. We set off through the village turned left and started our climb. The track was a mix of gravel, dirt and loose stones/rocks. We made our way to the top and looking back we had a lovely view of the sunrise and the village below. There was a memorial at the top, a large wooden cross with a mound of stones around it that have been left by pilgrims as they pass through. We continued on this path and after about 4.4km we pass the village if Villalval but there was nothing open there so at the 5.8km mark came to the town of Cardenuela Riopico and found the most amazing cafe. There were spreads of bacon and egg baguettes, lovey chocolate croissants and other pastries. We enjoyed a bacon and egg baguette between the two of us and bought a pastry and croissant to take away for later. Continuing on after our late breakfast the dirt track stopped and we were now walking on asphalt, luckily there wasn’t much traffic. Apparently there was two ways to reach Burgos, one through the industrial area and the other turning left and following the river. Unfortunately we missed the left turn so we walked on concrete all the way to Burgos and to our accommodation. Very hard on the legs and very boring. We dropped our bags at the apartment and walked around town for a bit. After a shower we went to the Museum of Human Evolution. We spent an hour and a half there and thoroughly enjoyed it.Leer más

    • Día 17

      A morning to Execute Plan B

      3 de junio de 2022, España ⋅ ⛅ 54 °F

      Humble breakfast in the morning...
      It is quite late by the Camino Starts because last night Sanchez, Liz and I decided that we will take a taxi cab to Burgos because we all have different issues with our legs that are bothering us greatly.
      So we are skipping the 21km hike and ride into town and then see if we can get some medical help.
      So now we're just waiting for the taxi cab and I decided to take a couple of more pictures of the little village

      From village to village

      30 de octubre de 2022, España ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      I am in Santovia de Oca. Tbh, they all become one after a while, except the cities. Hunting season is on with plenty of dogs and hunters. Not really dangerous, but you can hear the shots and barking.

      I came across a group of them twice and the proudly showed me midsized boar they got.

      The walk itself was 36 km through forests with one knee wrecker section. Up down, up down..

      Still thinking of last night's Paella. Oh yes, first rain today. Unpacked my poncho and stayed dry.

    • Belorado to Santovenia de Oca

      27 de septiembre de 2022, España ⋅ 🌙 7 °C

      Today was a longer one, about 28km. Accommodation was scarce so the best we found to book was a bunk bed in a dormitory style albergue 3km off the Camino in Santovenia de Oca.

      We started at 7am after an improvised coffee-free breakfast in our room. John’s headlamp was necessary till about 8am to see the path.

      About 1 km out we were overtaken by our Swedish dinner companions from last night, Hans and Katerina. After a few sleepy villages we finally found coffee in Espinosa del Camino.

      The path continued wide and flat to Villafranca Montes de Oca. From there it was a long and quite steep climb up to an altitude of 1150 meters.

      Then it was about 12km through forest with no sign of habitation or cars all the way to San Juan de Ortega. We saw many signs warning us not to pick mushrooms, expressed in at least 4 different ways.

      A sandwich for lunch in San Juan preceded an hour’s walk up the road to Santovenia. It is a nice clean modern albergue, with bunks in a dorm for about 12 people.

      Lots of large fields of sunflowers were seen along the way, mostly harvested, surrounded by fallow wheat fields. Also a few sheep at one point.

      After ablutions we had a beer in the courtyard out the front with a Pom, Steve from Manchester, traveling with his wife.

      We enjoyed a good pilgrim’s meal in the albergue by the charming but overworked lady running the place.

    • Día 10–11

      Day 9 Belorado - Cardenuela Piopico

      5 de mayo, España ⋅ 🌬 16 °C

      35.8 km (270.7 km from start). 43.000 steps. 7 hours on the road. 2377 calories. 5.8 km/h

      Great evening in Belorado. Best dinner until now: red beans soup (in Serbia - Pasulj), chicken from grill and chocolate mousse desert. Energy boost I really needed.

      Early start, at 6.45am Perfect weather, not to cold, not to warm. Rain during the day but my gear is performing perfectly. Long part throughout woods, something I haven’t try that much.

      No pain today, just a little bit at the end of the walk. I am enjoying my self and looking forward for another day, new places and more kilometers to complete.

      Again walking alone. I need this, I enjoy solitude. Talked to my daughter today, talking to my wife every day. Not missing my day to day life - but I do miss my family ❤️

      Staying at Santa Fe hostel. Private room with private bathroom. Luxury I haven’t tried before. It is ok but I definitely do not mind bunk beds and Camino spirit in hostels.

      10. DAY | 24 km

      8 de mayo de 2023, España ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

      Der orangene Schmetterling...

      Kaum zu glauben aber seit dem ersten Tag, begleitet mich ein orangener Schmetterling und nein es ist selbstverständlich nicht immer der gleiche, aber er passt einfach so gut zu mir. Du fühlst dich hier nie alleine und wenn du es tust wie zum Beispiel heute morgen den Wald entlang während die Sonne aufging, dann hast du Gedanken die du so gerne im kleinsten Detail abspeichern würdest weil Sie einfach wie Schlüssel sind welche Schlösser öffnen. Die Regionen sind so unterschiedlich aber ich muss sagen Castilla y León ist bisher mein Favorit dann fehlt natürlich noch Galicien. Heute war der Tag der Geschenke, erst schenkte mir ein einheimischer eine Muschel in meiner Lieblingsfarbe, dann ein älterer Herr eine Orange, ein Pilger Ohrstöpsel (er wollte dass ich richtig gute habe) und die Hotelinhaberin ein Pinnagel. Während ich heute ausgesprochen habe, dass ich es kaum abwarten kann, dass die 5 vor den 500 Restkilometern verschwindet, stolperte ich über ein Stein direkt auf die gleiche Stelle vom letzten Mal, aber ich war relativ schnell wieder oben. Morgen geht es nach Burgos dort habe ich einen besonderen Auftrag und eine Massage habe ich mir auch schon gebucht. Verrückt die Meseta steht bevor, ich bin aufgeregt.

      La farfalla arancione...

      È difficile da credere, ma dal primo giorno mi accompagna una farfalla arancione e no, naturalmente non è sempre la stessa. Qui non ci si sente mai soli e quando lo si fa, come questa mattina lungo la foresta mentre il sole stava sorgendo, si hanno pensieri che si vorrebbero salvare nei minimi dettagli perché sono proprio come una chiave che apre serrature differenti. Le regioni sono così diverse, ma devo dire che la Castilla y León è la mia preferita finora, poi naturalmente arriverà la Galizia. Oggi è stato il giorno dei regali, un abitante del luogo mi ha regalato una conchiglia del mio colore preferito, poi un signore anziano mi ha regalato un'arancia un pellegrino mi ha regalato dei tappi per le orecchie (voleva che li avessi davvero buone) è la proprietaria dell'hotel un codone. Oggi, mentre dicevo che non vedo l'ora che i 5 spariscano dei 500 chilometri rimanenti, sono inciampato su una pietra proprio sullo stesso punto dell'ultima volta, ma mi sono rialzata abbastanza velocemente. Domani vado a Burgos dove ho un compite speciale e ho già prenotato un massaggio. Pazzesco, la Meseta si avvicina, sono agitata.

    • Día 12

      Day 11 walking!

      19 de mayo, España ⋅ ☁️ 5 °C

      I survived sleeping on top bunk last night 😊 but couldn’t get comfy! It was also very cold, the radiators were on in the dorm and it was about 5 degrees this morning, think this area is quite high up. Also lady in dorm in wheelchair who broke her leg on 2nd day, she slipped on wet stones, her husband is carrying on and she’s getting taxi to next Albergue!
      We left quite early this morning to walk the 14 Km into Burgos, initially along quite country roads, then around small airport and along the side of the river and through parkland into town. We’re having rest day here and spending two nights in cheap hotel (hooray no bunk beds!) and regrouping to plan rest of trip. Also just had lovely hot bath, my legs are not too bad but my feet have started to complain by the end of the day! Apparently Burgos has most beautiful cathedral in Spain!

    • Día 73

      63. Wandertag

      31 de mayo de 2023, España ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Ich fahre noch etwas weiter mit den Wandmalereien, Landschaften und Wälder. An den Wegrändern wächst gerade ein Blumenstrauss und der Salbei blüht in den schönsten Farben. Martha und ich haben den Weg wie ihr sicher wisst schon vor Jahren einmal in Etappen gemacht. Jedes Jahr zwei Wochen, damals hatten wir das Gefühl dass Spanien für Pilger wirklich hartes Pflaster ist. Das hat sich gründlich geändert. Es sind viele und schöne Herbergen zu einem günstigen Preis entstanden entstanden. Hier für einmal eine Preistafel. Zum Schluss seht ihr noch die beiden Könige des Weges. 😅😎🥱☹️Leer más
