Dag 30
Ledigos (23.2km / 390.1km)
12 maj 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
We slept in a big dormitory room and some crazy people left at 3am?? and 4 am?? and 4.30am! Anyway, it was 3 degrees when we started and stayed cool all day. At one point we thought we were going to get wet but we stayed just ahead thankfully.
We were really worried about the heat in the Meseta but as you can see on the weather forecast, it will be cold for the next week so we will be spared. When it is cool we probably walk at least 15% quicker.
There was a 16km gap between the two towns this morning but a local had set up a fabulous containerised food van stop and we had a lovely cup of coffee and second breakfast after 8km.
We caught up with an Aussie group of 3 that we met briefly on Day 1 and then about 10 days later. Nice to see them again.
Sadly, Sally the dog is now 1 town ahead of us and we will probably not see them again. We caught up with them briefly at our lunch stop. There was also a mobile pilgrim police van checking everyone was ok. They have a section of the police which are only for pilgrims and they can be called at anytime and are often seen driving by checking if anyone needs assistance.
We haven’t talked much about the walk because there is not much to say. It was a long, straight, flat walk. It is still pretty but in a different way. With less to look at we are supposed to think more / focus on the mental side. Towards the end of the day all we are thinking about is our feet! The rest of our bodies are strong but did I mention the feet?
Our accommodation, Albergue la Morena, is a lovely restored property with exceptional service. There is nothing else in town - we didn’t see a single person other than Albergues. Even the church was locked and barred. The small local towns just are not financially feasible to maintain which is sad and makes our Albergues all the more impressive.
We had a stunning dinner with a lentil and vegetable dish, pork ribs and tiramisu! We shared our table with a Canadian lady. A lovely end to the day.Läs mer

30. Etappe: Calzadilla dela Cueza (38km)
26 november 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C
Nach einer entspannten Schnarch-Trio-Nacht und nem guten Frühstück starteten wir heute alle nach und nach in den bisher kältesten Tag. Zum ersten Mal Minus-Grade am Morgen - Zeit die Leggins unter die Wanderhose zu ziehen und schnell zu starten, um fix warm zu werden! 🥶
Nach den vielen kleinen Etappen fühlte ich mich heute wieder bereit für eine längere und stoppte nicht schon, wie fast alle anderen Pilger nach 20 km, sondern huschte nur schnell durch Carrion de los Condes. Kurz vorher traf ich Elisabeth und Lilly wieder, wir erzählten uns von unseren Erlebnissen der letzten Tage und verabschiedeten uns dann auch schon wieder, da auch sie hier stoppten. Nach weitern 18 km ohne jeglichen Ort kehrte ich dann in einem kleinen Dorf und der einzigen offenen Herberge Camino Real ein, die praktischer Weise auch eine Bar beherbergt (und im Sommer auch nen Pool inkl. Bar!) - aber leider keine Küche. Das Essen was ich dafür extra gekauft hatte, werde ich wohl auch morgen noch einmal mit mir herumtragen 😅 Eingekehrt sind hier nur noch 2 weitere Pilger, so dass wir sehr viel Platz und Ruhe haben.Läs mer

It's a Long Way to Calzadilla de la Cuez
14 oktober 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
The most boring 17K walk I'll ever do! No shade, mostly flat, I was having hallucinations by the end.😅 Thank God there was a breeze, and it was not the height of the summer!

2 things that broke up the 4 hour monotony-- a Pilgrim traveling by
skateboard, and a food truck that served cold, fresh squeezed orange juice.

Happy to be in Calzadilla de la Cueza for the night. Atleast we know there is food & drink here, unlike last night when we weren't sure...learning to take nothing for granted.Läs mer

Stage 20: Carrion-Calzadilla de la Cueza
4 oktober 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
17 km/10 miles, 46°-74°, about 5.5 hours. Left Carrion a little later than planned as I found it hard to get up before 0700. Left my phone charger in the room which I was sure I was never going to do. So I may be offline until I can find another one. My next stop, Sahagún, is big enough I should be able to find one there. Was rather slow going as right lower leg was quite unhappy, on the top of the foot going up into the front of my lower leg. The muscles used to dorsiflex, or pull the toes up, are painful and the area was red and swollen when I got here. The kind bar man gave me a bag of ice, that and some naproxen are helping considerably. The hostal I'm staying in has a restaurant and serves dinner at 6:30! So I don't have to walk far to find food. It's 13.9, let's just call it 14, miles to Sahagún tomorrow, if this isn't feeling better I may take a taxi. I'm almost at the halfway point, feet don't fail me now! The expansive flat landscape of the meseta reminds me of Nebraska or Iowa, thank goodness I'm walking it in October in the 60s and 70s, it would have been unbearable in the summer.
And now, a siesta before dinner.Läs mer

Started out before dark again today, was a mild day as it was cloudy and sprinkled a bit today. We walked 12 miles today with no towns in between to stop, there was a food truck in the middle of nowhere about half way. Found a few benches along the way to sit and rest for a few minutes.Läs mer

Monday again… breakfast obviously started earlier today, as I could hear lots of banging of doors and smell bacon from about 6am.. I still didn’t go down until my usual time as there was no point, I didn’t need to leave until 8.
The forecast had changed slightly and the rain wasn’t due until this afternoon!! Result!!
Although a bit cloudy to start today, it was actually really really warm.. it was a bit more of the same today, except it wasn’t long straight tracks and it passed through a few small villages .. amazing the difference it made.
Just on the outskirts of Sahagún, I met a group of walker’s laughing as they wandered along, as I passed them they were all drinking from a bottle of red wine!! .. they even offered me a swig!! I politely declined, but definitely decided it was ok for me to have a beer when i got there!!
Having had my beer ( not my first 😬 ) and my first paella snack since arriving in Spain ( I was expecting it to be every other meal!! ) I set off to find my accommodation..
My room is lovely, super clean and bright after yesterday’s dark and gloomy one.. I put my bag down, lay down for a minute ( today was the first time my legs felt really tired ) .. and woke up 2 hours later!!!!
Showered and sorted, I decided to go in search of a cash machine.. I got as far as the door, it was absolutely hammering down, so I joined Hazel and Yvonne for a beer.. would have been rude not to do so I thought.. it was a lovely hour talking about how we were feeling, finding it, and how quickly you loose your pride about wearing the same few outfits, hanging socks that haven’t dried on your rucksack and the joy of doing your laundry!!
Then… In walks Rocky!! Real big trucker guy from Wisconsin, really outgoing and friendly … he’d arrived here yesterday, got a halfway certificate, then felt so guilty because he’d actually got a taxi for that stage due to blisters or something, that he’d got a taxi back this morning and hiked it today!!
For a change ( not! ) I’m really hungry again and counting down till it’s time to eat.. 7 minutes!! I hope it’s not a disappointment 😂😂…Läs mer

After 27 Km I arrived in Terradillos de los Templarios, which means „little fields of the temple knights“! But it’s a very tiny village, it’s early and my feet say „move on“!! So another 12 Km to Sahagun is the goal for today!Läs mer

Day 20 Calzadilla
Distance from Villalcazar to Calzadilla 23kms

An easy day of walking along a flat sandy path for most of the way. A chilly wind was blowing so we picked up the pace and soon warmed up. We passed fields of wheat oats and newly planted corn either side of the path and listened to the sound of frogs in the stream so loud they broke the silence.
With no villages for 17kms we were pleasantly surprised to see a food truck parked in the middle of nowhere just when we needed a coffee. As the saying goes the Camino provides. We sat enjoyed our coffee and orange juice in the sun and reluctantly moved on to complete the last stage of our walk today.
Still on the Meseta and loving the quiet countryside no traffic small villages and few pilgrims.
It’s been another great day.Läs mer

I don’t post very many pictures from the road lately. This is my view. It’s always the same, corn and sunflower fields, for miles.

That is shit for a picture journal, but I love it. My body is used to the walking by now, and my mind gets to soar.

Ten more kilometers, one more break in the middle of that, and I’ll be in Terradillos de Los Templarios.

The weather is amazing, a light wind drives me forward, and the road is light on the feet. I can’t seem to be able to wipe the smile off my dumb face, and I don’t want to. 350 down, 590 to go… and I intend to enjoy the shit out of every single one of them.Läs mer

Calzadila de la Cueza
17 september 2023, Spanien ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
No i udało się bez deszczu. Dzień można powiedzieć pochmurny z przebłyskami słońca, no i na koniec z dużym wiatrem. Mieliśmy długi 17 km odcinek przez mesete gdzie oprócz przestrzeni nic nie ma, no może poza małym barem z ulubionymi napojami w połowie drogi. No bar to może za duże słowo, ale bar mobilno - lotny może bardziej pasuje. Droga dzisiejsza jest pozostałością antycznej drogi rzymskiej, którą transportowano metale szlachetne z Hiszpanii do Rzymu.
Rano ruszyliśmy najpierw na mszę niedzielną, która odbywała się w malutkim kościółku przy zamkniętym zakonie sióstr Karmelitanek. Uczestniczylismy razem z nimi we mszy świętej, co prawda one nie były widoczne i były oddzielone od wszystkich kratami. Tylko do komunii otworzyło się małe okienko w kratach i było widać ich ręce. Kasia naliczyła 11 dłoni po kolei wyciągniętych by otrzymać Komunię. Dodatkowo Siostry uświetniały śpiewem i organową muzyką poranną mszę. Głębokie przeżycie dla nas...
Mamy nocleg w bardzo malym miasteczku może parę domów i to wszystko. Wciąż dmucha wiatrzysko i sprawia wrażenie , że jest zimno. Jutro w prognozie deszcz no ale zobaczymy jak to się rozłoży. Na razie odpoczynek wspólny obiad z pielgrzymami, którzy jak my zatrzymali się w tej malutkiej osadzie na mesecie...Läs mer
