    • Navarrete to Alesanco

      23 September 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      Today was another early start about an hour and a half before dawn, after breakfasting on some things we bought in the supermarket.

      8km of walking found us in Ventosa where we found much needed coffee and croissants.

Today was cloudy so we were spared the hot sun after noon.

      Another 8km found us in Nájera where we stopped for lunch.

      So far we’d been walking almost entirely through vineyards, some of them very large, extending over the horizon. We noticed the older vines are very sturdy and self supporting.

      From Nájera it was a somewhat unpleasant 8km trudge on bitumen roads to our pensión in Alesanco. It is slightly off the Camino but it had a room available for us.

      We walked to the pub in the center of town and drank a couple of radlers (beer with lemon, like a shandy) at an outside table and watched the passing parade. It is a very rural town and there was a constant parade of tractors pulling big bins of just-harvested grapes to one of the town’s wine makers.

      Right on 7pm it seemed as though all the townspeople descended on the pub to chat, play cards, have a drink or a snack. We couldn’t find a restaurant open so made dinner with the pub snacks, called pinchos.

      Back at our pensión we met a young German couple with 12 month old child who are cycling the Camino with a tow-along baby carriage. They had started from their home in Leipzig. They told us they had previously ridden from Perth to Melbourne in Australia.

      On garde le meilleur pour la fin !

      11 Mei 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      Chemin de Compostelle 16/40
      Étape #9 ´´Camino francés" De Hormilla à Grañón. Kilomètres parcourus: 27 km. Cumulatif : 447,1 km, 25,7 km de moyenne par jour. Étapes restantes : 23.

      Marché en ligne droite sur un chemin sans attrait pendant plus de 13 kilomètres, c’est interminable. Tout ça parce qu’il n’avait plus de place dans les albergues à Nagera. Alors nous avons dû nous dénicher un hôtel à Hormilla (détour de 5 km). Bref ce fut très long. Heureusement dame nature était avec nous (pas de pluie) mais c’était très froid (6h : 8c et à 11h : 11c).

      Une grande pause s’imposait à Santo Domingo de la Calzada pour manger et se réchauffer après 16,5 km de rando.
      Cette municipalité compte un peu plus de 6 000 habitants. La Catedral de Santo Domingo de la Calzada est assez impressionnante car sa construction a débuté au XII et fut terminée au XVIII siècle.
      Le dernier 7 kilomètres fut des plus agréable puisque l’on a fait connaissance de 2 français. Jacqueline de Lyon (74 ans) et Dominic de Dijon (64 ans).
      Ce dernier a été 38 ans dans l’armée Française. Retraité et mécanicien de maintenance aéronautique. Ce fut intéressant de l’écouter parler car il a vu des atrocités de différentes guerres dans certains pays. Le chemin lui fait grand bien comme il dit.
      C’est touchant d’entendre tout ça (photo). Jacqueline plus discrète mais ouf qu’elle est en forme. À peine 5 pieds le sac à dos aussi gros qu’elle et marcher autant.
      On a poursuivi la tradition en prenant de 2 bonnes bières. Un « food truck » super propre avec une espagnole qui essayait de parler français, sympathique.

      En résumé, cette journée s’est terminée sur bonne note positive.

      Buen Camino

      Fazit der 10. Woche

      28 Mei 2023, Spanyol

      Wie schnell doch die Zeit vergeht. Ein rechtes Stück haben wir schon geschafft. Ich glaube es bleiben noch ca. 650 Kilometer bis zum Ziel.
      So vieles geht einem durch den Kopf auf diesem langen Weg. Gestern habe ich noch über die Pilger Wortdeutung geschrieben. „Das Heil suchen“ das sagt man doch heute nicht mehr habe ich gedacht, oder doch; die beiden Fotos zeigen zum einen den Blick nach vorne, den blauen Himmel und der Blick nach hinten die Gewitterwolken. Ich bin HEIL- froh liegen die Wolken hinter uns. Ich bin HEIL-froh ist der Regen erst am Abend gekommen. Nach wie vor hoffe ich wieder HEIL nach Hause zu kommen. Dann hoffe ich alle wieder HEIL vorzufinden.
      Die vergangene Woche hat mich mit dem Vergebungsweg auch sehr beschäftigt. Angenehmer ist der Weg des Weines, zum Essen in Frankreich gibt es fast immer Wein, im Moment immer ein Glas Rioja, ein wunderbarer Geschmack.
      Allen wünsche ich eine genussvolle Woche.

      Let’s Talk Gear🥾 & Accomodations🕍

      25 April, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Many have asked what exactly we brought with us on our Camino journey. We both tried to keep our packs to around 15 lbs🎒, including the weight of our actual backpacks. Aimee has a 32L Osprey Kestrel bag & I have a 33L Gregory Jade.
      We each have one set of clothes that we hike in and a separate set of clothes to wear after shower each night, which we also sleep in. The outfits are interchangeable for hiking/sleeping and we each brought a skirt as well, with hopes for warmer weather as we get into May. Each evening, most pilgrims hand-wash their clothes & hang dry for the next day. Occasionally there may be a pay washer & dryer available at the albergue, but it’s not the norm. We each have a fleece jacket, a hat, light weight gloves, a light rain jacket and a larger rain poncho which covers our packs, in heavy rain. We also have a minimal amount of toiletries, shower shoes and small list of personal extras. For sleeping, we each have a lightweight silk sleep sack, down quilt & small travel pillow.

      🦶As expected, footcare for the Camino is of utmost importance. We both have two pair of wool socks that we occasionally swap out mid-day and we both coat our feet in Vasoline each morning—a Camino hack which people swear by to prevent blisters, which has served us well so far

      👣As for shoes, we both have trail runners. Aimee has Topo Ultra Ventures & I have Altra Lonepeaks. For the most part we’re happy with our shoes so far, we’ll keep you posted after another 400 miles! 👟 Hiking poles on this trek are the norm for most pilgrims. They are hugely helpful with weight distribution and stability.

      There are a variety of accommodation options along the Camino. Most pilgrims opt to stay in Albergues or Hostels. Sleeping arrangements are generally mixed dormitory-style rooms which are usually 15-25 euro/per person. 💶 Occasionally there are private or semi-private rooms available for a bit more money. There are also some “Donativos” along the way, which are a donation based a pay-what-you-can-afford option. Hotels are available, but tend to a bit pricey and can add up quickly during a 5-6 week pilgrimage. While a private room is a nice treat occasionally, there’s something magical about sharing the journey with fellow pilgrims. It’s all about embracing the communal spirit of the Camino, opening up to the global community and leaving self-focus behind. 🌍

      I think that about covers it, feel free to ask questions!

      Loving the weather

      25 Agustus 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Such a different day today- started in the streets of Logroño at 5:30 with the drunk arguing teenagers sitting all around the place, on the footpaths, bus stops, benches. From that moved into beautiful vineyards, with a fiery red sun into industrial blue metal producing factories- incase you thought it was all idyllic 🙃 and then into a rocky moon scape kind of area. Decided I didn't like the town I was meant to finish in so got Cait researching hostels in the next town so I would push through. Who doesn't love a hostel with a foot pool!!! 😘 Wether is crazy here 20 degrees lower tomorrow than yesterday!! Huge day today 34.66km but so much better in the cooler temp. Had dinner with a French lady I've being seeing on the track, you get HALF a bottle of wine with your 3 course pilgrim dinner- not fancy but cheap. Had to leave it at the bar cos I'm a walking tomorrow baby !!👣👣👣🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️Baca selengkapnya

      Day 13

      3 September 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Left Azfroa 6.50 am arrived at Granon 1.50 pm.
      21ks
      As usual, we left in the dark and, at the beginning, very little signs to show us the way, but we made it. It was a low steep climb on an overcast day. Once we reached the top, the terrain was rolling. Had a bit to eat at San Domingo before carrying on. Found a pharmacy and got something for my hayfever.
      This part of Spain must be where they grow Sunflowers for everybody. They are everywhere.
      We are both tired, so we have decided to lie in tomorrow, so the alarm is set for 6.30 am instead of 6 am.

      Day 15 Azofra to Granan

      29 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

      We had a bit more energy yesterday evening, so we explored Azofra and sat in the square and enjoyed the locals along with a local wine for Steve and a coke for me. I was able to catch the sunset which occurred about 10pm.
      Got to the bar for breakfast at 0630 and was on the trail at 7. Had quite a few walkers starting off at the same time. This was unusual for us.
      Passed a golf course when we got into Ciruena. The next big town was Santa Domingo. Had a bit of a rest and lunch. Found a market and picked up some fruit and protein bars. Tonight we are in Granan. We got in about 230 after 14.5 miles. It was overcast and cool. Nice day for the walk.
      Grateful for the cooler temperatures, for the peace from long walks and feeling stronger each day

      Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

      12 April, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 55 °F

      149 miles walked. 351 to go.

      Do you miss carbs? Or, do you crave carbs but wish you could just gorge yourself without any added weight consequences? Have I got a plan for you! All you have to do is walk an average of 18 miles a day in the sweltering heat on the Camino de Santiago and you can eat whatever carbs you desire, and sweat out whatever beverages you fancy, without consequence!*

      Seriously though, I’m eating ALL THE THINGS and simply just have to in order to replenish my body with energy to be able to either recover from my walk, or prepare to conquer the next day. So, I’ve had more bread in the past two weeks than I’ve consumed in the past year. The hunger pangs are real, and this whole siesta time for businesses closing up shop in the afternoon and restaurants not opening until 8:30 is making me crazy! Imma bout to strap a loaf of bread to my backpack and open up shop on the Camino for those of us who need a carb fix.

      But that’s been the yeast of my problems (pun very much intended). Through training over the last several months and these first couple weeks of Camino walking, I’ve worn out my insoles. I thankfully found a sporting good store last night and bought new insoles and the difference is night and day. I think I may actually be able to pull off the 351 miles left!

      This is the point in the trip where everyone is showing off their blisters to one another. I’ve seen some gnarly ones… one the size of a silver dollar on the heel of someone. Another where the blister was long and wrapped itself around the top of the big toe and down between and below the next toe. Another had so many bandaids of his feet, you could barely see any skin showing. Ouch! I’m not able show off any battle wounds, cause I’ve got none. I’m holding up. For now.

      Carb loaded. Vino blanco filled. Sleep deprived. Till tomorrow…

      * Assuming some sense of moderation, but you know, whatever. You do you. You do the Way, your way.

      Santo Domingo de la Calzada

      1 September 2019, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

      Wunderbarer Abend mit wunderbaren Menschen in einer wirklich tollen Herberge gestern Abend! Ergo auch gut geschlafen und ohne meinen Rucksack 33 km gegangen und intermittierend furchtbar gehinkt. War aber gut zu ertragen, so dass ich wohl morgen nochmal meinen Rucksack verschicken werde. Sonnenbrille verloren, dafür konnte ich eine neue Sonnencreme kaufen. Mehr habe ich noch nicht verloren :). Heute Nacht sind wir in einem alten Zisterzienserinnenkloster untergebracht: 21:45 h auf dem Zimmer sein, kein elektrisches Licht in unserem Zimmer, Internet nur im Garten (!), nette Atmosphäre! Landschaftlich kommen wir gerade aus den Weinbergen heraus in eine sanft hügelige Ackerbauregion. Morgen ist La Rioja auch durchwandert und Kastilien und Leòn liegen vor uns. Es ist auch hier eindeutig zu trocken.Baca selengkapnya

      Buena etapa

      1 Mei, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

      Hoy ha sido una etapa más fácil. Solo 21Km, más o menos plano, y el terreno era un camino bien visto. El pronóstico del tiempo era lluvia, pero ha salido un día soleado, aunque bastante frío y con viento frío. Quizás venía de esta montaña nevadaBaca selengkapnya
