      Calzadilla De Los Hermanillos

      25 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

      Day 23 Calzadilla De Los Hermanillos
      Distance from Sahagun to Calzadilla 15kms

      As we walked out of Sahagun this morning the local rooster bid us farewell a good start to the day and one which promised to be hot. Short in terms of kilometers but as the temperatures are climbing our plan is to be at our next destination by early afternoon.
      Narrow paths turned into wide earth tracks. Across remote bush country with few pilgrims in sight (we chose to take the alternate route) which was quiet and had no villages to pass through.
      We walked in silence taking in the views ahead of agricultural land and simple dwellings some of
      which were made of mud others of stone.
      Our village tonight has been well preserved and is so quiet it’s hard to believe anyone lives here. As we were walking through the village a local drove his tractor and parked outside his home possibly to take a siesta returning to his fields late afternoon he smiled and bid us Buen Camino. We are taking cover in the shade of the bar and reflecting on another grand day.

      Day 17 not walking!

      26 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      I decided that as the infection in my big toe is still tender, the infection must still be present and so frustratingly I didn’t walk today. I will give it another couple of days on antibiotics and if still not gone, see a doctor again.
      So I shared taxi with Spanish chap who has walked the Camino 8 times previously and never known it as cold as it is this year! The taxi driver also picked up two hitch hiking pilgrims who were suffering leg and back issues en route, couple of French ladies who spend fortnight walking stages of the Camino each year but started back in Puy in France.
      I’ve checked into lovely small family run Albergue in Calzadilla de los Hermanillos, we’re now just over halfway to Santiago!! Not long after I got here, a young Kiwi girl came in asking for a box, she had found a healthy stray very young kitten walking along the road, no mum anywhere. Others said to leave it, but she couldn’t and was planning to take it with her and take it to a refuge in Leon tomorrow, shut today as Sunday. So I helped her rig up carrying bag using old bum bag I wasn’t using, and she got rice and put it into old cloth bag I had (for my flip flops) to make microwaved heat pad so the kitten would settle in the bag, it was clearly cold and prob between 2-4 weeks old and so cute 🥰 she will keep me posted on her progress walking with it for 2 days! Or if difficult, take a taxi.
      We’re in small village that’s biggest claim to fame is the Roman road that went through it that it still used, plus small nature reserve with some little ponds full of very noisy frogs!! There is also an old clothes washing place and a storks nest with 3 young, but I could only get 2 in the photo! Plus some rather kitch tea cup covers served to us here!

      Unexpected extension

      10 de agosto de 2022, Espanha ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      I was sleepy the whole morning. There were kids playing and talking outside my window last night, until after midnight, and I got up at 5.
      I had the best breakfast so far, and it was 'home' made: fruit salad with natural yoghurt and avo on toast. Some albergues lend themselves to food preparation more others.
      We left Calzadilla de los Hermanillos and continued on the Via Trajana. The walk was still mostly flat, with gentle undulations. The fields had corn, wheat and sunflowers, and the occasional tree plantation.
      The track was an ancient Roman road, which in parts has been conserved just like it was 2,000 years ago.
      The target today was Mansilla de las Mulas, about 25k. The morning was relatively cool, cloudy, with a couple of light showers. It was a good temperature for walking.
      When we got to Mansilla, however, the good albergue was full 😣. The other private albergue had more negative reviews than positive, and the municipal was closed.
      We started looking for other options and found room at a nice albergue 2 more villages to the west. This extended the walk to 32k, and the last hour or two were in the afternoon heat.
      We were planning to walk to the last village before León tomorrow, and arrive early in León the next day, to be able to spend time exploring the city. But with today's extension, we're just 1 more village away from León, so we'll get there tomorrow.

      A bit less dampness

      Went rogue and took an alternative more remote route and ended up looking like sodden rats at a teeny albergue with just one other wom staying there. But things only went up from there as it had a FIREPLACE and we cooked some delish lentil bolognaise + glühwein (mulled wine) courtesy of Marisa's ingenius ideaLeia mais

      Best of Sahagún

      I loved the door to the old city, and I equally loved the confitería 😋
      I had a smoothie with a piece of cheesecake, just because it looked more substantial than the choc mousse slice... and other various things that I wished I could take away...Leia mais

      Day 18 not walking!

      27 de maio, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 12 °C

      You will be pleased to know that yesterdays kitten was successfully delivered last night to Leon university vet clinic and is safe and well there 😊
      So today I took the bus to Mansilla de las Mulas with couple of German ladies, the bus took the scenic route through lots of villages off the beaten track, which was interesting but somewhat bumpy ride! Very agricultural with mountains in the distance.
      So we’re checked into fairly modern Albergue and currently sitting in the sun in the garden enjoying the tranquility, although sparrows flying very close!
      This town has 12th century fortifications and the old city wall is still visible in places with houses built into it or alongside, but the town has a ‘down at heel’ feel about it and has obviously seen better days.

      68. Wandertag

      6 de junho de 2023, Espanha ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

      Heute einmal zu den Fotos. Zuerst ein blühender wilder Fenchel. Dann ein Pilger mit Stab und Kalebasse als Feldflsche, wieder einmal ein Wegkreuz. Auch immer wieder Einsiedeleien und dann haben wir die Kleinstadt Sahagun durchquert. Die Kirche wie im Wildwest Film, prächtige Fassade dahinter alt und fast baufällig, dahinter das alte Stadttor. Kurz dahinter eine Wegentscheidung. Wir wählten den alten Römerweg und befanden uns in einer afrikanischen Landschaft, fehlte nur noch der Löwe und die Zebras.
      Mir ist aufgefallen dass es viele Südkoreaner auf dem Weg hat. Da Google alles weiss, nahm es mich Wunder ob es dann auch Christen da hat und war erstaunt. Ca. 15% Katholiken und 30% Evangelische Christen, das will ja noch nichts heissen. Aber wiederholt wurde mir gesagt, dass es bei der Stellensuche wichtig sei, wenn der Bewerber den Jakobsweg gemacht hat. Das heisse er besitze Durchhaltevermögen und sei leistungsfähig. Ich finde man sollte das in der Schweiz auch einführen 😃😃

      Calzadilla to Mansilla de las Mulas - th

      14 de junho de 2023, Espanha ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C

      As far as I could see there were only the six pilgrims at our Albergue Via Trajana walking the Via Romana today. And of them I only saw two, Stephanie the digital nomad originally from Germany and Dominic from France. Rachel and I had the road to ourselves - silent apart from birdsong.
      The road was not nearly as difficult as we had been led to believe. When we were walking on a Roman road earlier in the Camino it was made up of very large cobble stones but this was much smoother - I think better preserved as the top layer of smaller pebbles was mainly still there and in parts there was also a sandy layer making it smoother and softer on the feet.
      So it was another pretty long walk and, of course, very straight, but beautiful, deserted and quiet.
      We have had an amazing day of weather - no rain or thunderstorms for almost the first time on the Camino. The rain usually starts just after we arrive at our destination of the day but it is a pity that often we can’t sit out in the evenings. Today was different and it is still warm and sunny now.
      After arriving in Mansilla de las Mulas, Rachel and I found coffee and waited for the others to arrive. Sadly no iced coffee which was what I really needed - the caffeine but cold! But so good to sit down. Rachel was developing blisters and I was really tired.
      Unfortunately when the others arrived they had to get on the bus to Leon straight away as there wasn’t another one until 4 so I didn’t get to see them before they left.
      We found out today that Caroline has had a stomach upset - I felt terrible that I wasn’t with her and I’m amazed that she managed to walk after being sick all night. She was well looked after by Nick and Paul tho.
      So then I was on my own. I found some more cherries (the Spanish cherries are amazing - I’ve been buying them almost every day) and went to check in at my Albergue.
      Then went to find the swimming spot I had been promised. It was amazing. My first wild swim on the Camino and worth the wait. There was even a little beach to sit on.
      I really love Mansilla - it seems to be a friendly laid back town - and I’m pleased I chose to stay here rather than moving on to the city.
      Didn’t go out to eat tonight as thought it might be a bit weird on my own but I guess if I was lucky enough to be able to do this again I wouldn’t be guaranteed a companion so would have to get used to that!!
      Planning an early night - once I’ve found an audiobook for the walk along the road into Leon tomorrow.

      To Calzadilla de los Hermanillos

      23 de setembro de 2023, Espanha ⋅ ☀️ 63 °F

      We had a relaxing walk to Calzadilla de Los Hermanillos today. It is an alternate path that follows an old Roman Road. Along our walk, we met Sue from New York. She’s walking the Camino alone and will meet her husband in Santiago. Chatting with her made the walk go by quickly, and we found out we were staying at the same place - Casa El Cura.🙂

      I can’t say enough about how nice this place is! Gemma and Leo are wonderful hosts! The home is filled with old family photos and antiques and Gemma took the time to tell us about her family and items in the home. Then, Leo prepared a delicious dinner that had all of the guests raving about the food. We finished the evening with shots of liqueur for everyone and Leo and Gemma posed in a picture with us all. 📸

      Tomorrow, we will head back to the regular route and walk to Mansilla de las Mulas. I can’t believe we are almost to León.🙂

      Wow wieder ein spannender Morgen… die Umgebung gefällt mir auch wieder besser als gestern… sie scheint mir vielfälltiger zu sein, für dass es eigentlich sehr einfach ist.

      Ich laufe heute nach einem ersten Pipihalt jedenfalls ziemlich motiviert, für das es die ganze Zeit geradeaus geht.Leia mais
