      Day 12-Azofra

      16 września 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 79 °F

      Short 11 mile day today. We left our hotel a little after 6am in order to finish walking early before the heat. It doesn't really get too hot here but you feel it when you're walking this much everyday. We stopped at the local restaurant that was, thankfully, open early for some breakfast and then we were on our way at 7am while it was still dark. Sunrise isn't until 8am here.

      We stopped in Nájera for a snack and continued on to Azofra. Between those two towns were flies contstantly annoying us. We arrived in Azofra at noon and sat in the plaza for a couple of hours greeting pilgrims as they arrived. There are lots of flies here too. I'm not sure what's attracting them and I'm pretty sure it's not us.

      The rest of the day will be spent strolling around town and having dinner.

      On garde le meilleur pour la fin !

      11 maja 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 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

      Day 13

      3 września 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 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.

      Loving the weather

      25 sierpnia 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 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 !!👣👣👣🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ Czytaj więcej

      Fazit der 10. Woche

      28 maja 2023, Hiszpania

      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.

      Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

      12 kwietnia, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 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.

      Buena etapa

      1 maja, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 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 nevada Czytaj więcej

      Santo Domingo de la Calzada

      1 września 2019, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 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. Czytaj więcej

      Azofra

      29 marca, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌫 9 °C

      A damp day, walking through drizzle. The first part to Nájera went alongside a highway and vineyards. After crossing the Nájera river, the path went up the valley through more vineyards and olive groves.

      Spent the night at the municipal albergue at Azofra. Two to a room, no bunk beds!!

      [Day 11, 22 km walked, 198 km from St Jean Pied-de-Port, 586 km to Santiago.]

      Day 11: To Azofra

      22 maja 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F

      This morning I was looking up the address to where we are staying tonight in Apple Maps and it happily told me it would take 16 minutes to get to Azofra. That confirmed driving is definitely faster than walking… about 5 hours and twenty minutes faster. Although you definitely see, hear, smell & feel more taking the slow way.
      Today’s hike was the longest so far at about 25.5 kilometers. As of today I’ve officially hiked right at 200 kilometers on the Camino (not counting walking around towns to eat and drink good wine.) Only 600 more to go. Speaking of wine, after walking past just over a gazillion vineyards, I understand why it’s so cheap here.
      The morning started by taking an (unintentional but fortunate) alternate path at added about 1k to our hike but allowed us to stop at a nice place for coffee and make a friend with a burro (with the help of a sugar cube I have been carrying just for such bribery.) Then the path climbed up and up to where a musician from Galicia was busting on the trail. It was great to pause and catch our breath and let his music relax us to continue. On we walked towards Nájera. Entering the town was the least esthetically pleasing (let’s just say ugliest) part of the Camino so far. To keep things positive, I going to post a photo of a beautiful fence laden with roses. Nájera is a nice town and Dorothy and I had a great lunch there before continuing up past the red rocks that flank the town into more vineyards. (They really are beautiful). Finally, we made it into our little picturesque town of Azofra.
      Starting tomorrow my Camino will be markedly different. For the past couple of weeks it’s been wonderful sharing the company of my sister Dorothy on the camino. It’s been a true pleasure. I’ve also been fortunate to be able to share her photos here with you. Tomorrow she is leaving to join her husband Steve on vacation and honestly, I’m very sad to see her go.
