      By volume, an A+

      13 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      First time I've gotten an entire bottle of wine included, that's for sure. Taste wise, pretty decent too. €14 and I'm happy and ready for bed.

      Edited to add: in preparation for bed I've realised I've lost my battery pack, most likely in Hontanas when I charged it after the USB lid walk. This actually is frustrating given it's new and useful and I should be more organised than this but it's also Just A Thing and I'm not going to lose sleep over it. It is one of the miracles of travelling alone that I get to decide exactly how much weight to give everything. One quick GRRRRR and we move on.Okumaya devam et

      Booming

      14 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

      I am sitting here in utter disbelief at the RUCKUS being caused by, and I'm not generalising here as it's a fact, men between 50 and 65. This albergue has three upstairs rooms but it's a loft style roof, meaning the walls don't go up all the way, there's a gap and we all share airspace.

      I have the bunk withdrawal process down to an absolute minimum in terms of time and decibels. I come to the communal area (and if there is none, outside) and do my dressing and deodorising and repacking and zipping there. It's surprising how much variation there is in the rush hour albergue by albergue, some you don't hear anyone move until 7, others are earlier.

      I was downstairs by 5.30, joined by another decent human being at 5.45 and then from 6 I actually don't think I could have made more noise than these BEASTS are making upstairs if I tried. One of them dropped his stick, clattering down the bunk ladder as it fell, twice. I'd have killed myself after the first time so that completely blew my mind.

      I'm waiting until my phone gets to 70% (because naturally they hogged the two chargers per room upstairs) then I will walk around giving each of them a sharp poke in the ribs, turn and glare at them at the threshold, put my nose in the air and storm off.

      Bercianos del Real Camino to Mansilla de

      23 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 39 °F

      296 miles done. 204 to go. 59%!

      Coming near the end of the Meseta and the farmland as far as you can see. I’m excited to get past León and enter the last 200 miles of the journey. Especially looking forward to having my second and last rest day in Leon to do laundry and relax my legs a bit.

      It was chilly today and I feel like I can’t get warm enough. Still, wearing sandals at the end of the daily walk feels amazing, so I added socks to my sandals. Not just socks, but toe socks. So yeah. Judge me. You’d have done the same. On the Camino, all sense of fashion or what is right or proper is out the window. I saw a couple at breakfast who were wearing “long johns,” but not the kind that you wear skiing. They were very thin and black, like thicker pantyhose, and they were wearing them over their white underwear, at breakfast. Pretty much entirely see-through, with his tighty-whities and her granny-panties all bunched up underneath the black hosiery. So, we all wear what we have, what may or may not be semi-clean (I really really need to find a laundry tomorrow), and we just roll with it.

      Joined a table of pilgrims tonight and traded lots of stories and reasons why we are on the Camino. The consensus was really “why not?” and “finding myself.” Same.

      León tomorrow and rest day there the next. Needed!

      Easy pleasant walk to El Burgo Ranero

      7 Mayıs, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      An easy basically flat walk, 16 kms, along country roads today. Not spectacular views, but consistently pleasant and everyone we met in good humour probably because the weather continues to be perfect for walking. Cold at the start, about 5°, and fingers aching if not in pockets, but warmed up to comfortable but never hot. I actually wore my shorts for the first time this trip! …and put my hat back on..no wind…The path want beside little roads and was lined with plane trees to provide shade - much needed when days are hot, but at this season we welcomed the sun and walked along the road now and then.

      We stopped for coffee/ColaCao at a bar and had lunch sitting on one of the many benches provided along the way…delicious cheese that we’d bought at Sahagun, crackers, apples and chocolate..arrived at 2 and easily found our lodgings - different one from our usual, but similar and good. When we arrived the man running the place was very busy doing lunches and drinks for many people and we waited, not being at all in a hurry. He was funny and joking and brought Rachel and me a lemon drink while we waited (Amr and Rich were getting provisions for tomorrow at the shop which was miraculously open)…the wife appeared too, and checked with us for dinner tonight as we are having dinner there…we hadn’t realised then but they close on Tuesday afternoons and dinner only available for residents, home made by her…so she gave choices one of which was paella which we chose and greatly looking forward to it…we could see it was one of the things on offer when they are open…

      Still all very busy so we had a drink and serving of croquetas while we waited, yum, and finally went to the rooms…simple and fine…but not ideal for the washing I had planned with the afternoon sun - no plug - but just so peaceful. When we arrived there was a lot of talking and laughing and lunching but in the afternoon siesta mode it is all dead quiet. The towns always seem people-less except for pilgrims, but now even they have disappeared!

      We went for a walk round the town which didn’t take long - up our street and down the other - and when you come to the end you are right out in the country again. Many fields neatly ploughed and waiting for planting - if they are all for sunflowers it will be a spectacular panorama of gold! Now back, downtime, sharing photos, Amr watching something on Netflix and dozing. All good.

      12k to Reliegos

      17 Ekim 2022, Ispanya ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

      Long walk all morning in a light rain, only heavy enough to put on rain coats a couple of times.

      We were pleasantly surprised to have a small patch of trees to walk through, on either side of a small stream.

      The local government was kind enough to post instructions on "how to poop in the woods"!

      Other than that it was the usual Meseta walk on long straight and flat next to a lightly travelled road.

      Camino Day 21: Sahagún to Burgo Ranero

      1 Eylül 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Total Distance: 18km
      Step Count: 30.1k
      Blisters to date: 2
      Tortillas to date: 19
      Injuries: shin splints

      Today, I walked with Tommaso as Lukas started super early to try and make his way to Leon where we’d meet again in 2 days.

      It was a very chill walk talking about love, faith and life. I love having conversations with people who think deeply and can appreciate and accept different perspectives on different topics. It was a lovely bonding time on the trail. I also got a tarot reading at our breakfast stop which was very interesting and entertaining 🃏

      Our destination was El Burgo Ranero where according to Jorge, we might experience the most beautiful sunset on the whole camino! The town was quite cute with not much happening but the Albergue we stayed at was so serene in ways we couldn’t describe! I journaled for hours and had lovely chats with the volunteers.

      In the evening, we went to find the bench we were meant to watch the sunset from but the weather wasn’t great so not much to be seen but you could see how on a good day, the spot had so much potential!

      I also met a lovely group of Spanish women who were really worried about my leg which wasn’t hurting anymore but was swelling inexplicably 🤷🏻‍♀️

      I was contemplating a 37km day to Leon the next day to go to a health centre and get my leg checked but the Camino always provides and had better plans for me! ✨

      To El Burgo Ranero

      11 Mayıs 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Great night in Sahagún where we stayed in a monastery albergue run by Marist brothers and attended a Pilgrim mass! I've been blessed! Shared meal with great variety and had heaps of leftovers for a chocka breakfast. This was the most moving and caring place we've stayed. We talked about our booking anxiety and raised it at the pilgrim coffee meet with brother John. And today we have dealt with it better - applying the philosophy of the day: fuck it! So instead of struggling to find lodgings in Villamoros de Mansilla we're walking there tomorrow and bussing to Leon to meet up with Nicky and Charlie and Co for a big night and Eurovision madness. Bring your best boa!
      Easy peasy walk to El Brgu - meant to stop for coffee at Calzada de Coto at Km4 but overshot and ended up at Km10.5 Bercianos del Real Camino. We just thought it was a long 4k - shows how fit we are now, despite blisters (Sal) and right leg tendonitis) Al.
      Into La Laguna albergue but hospitallero couldn't find booking eek! But she had a cancellation so we were in and everybody happy.

      El Burgo Ranero

      8 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ 🌬 10 °C

      The day stated well until I got to Sahagún when the predicted rain started.

      The sun came out during the last few hundred meters leading to El Burgo Ranero where I am spending the night in the municipal albergue, which also happens to be a donativo.

      Many buildings here of adobe (mud brick) construction are just falling apart from neglect.

      [Day 21, 27 km walked, 432 km from St Jean Pied-de-Port, 362 km to Santiago.]

      El Burgo Ranero from Sahagún

      25 Haziran 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F

      Keeping it easy today.

      I think I'd have enjoyed another five km but the next town is nearly 13km away and temps are ramping up quickly. Better to be gentle than overdo it after a sick day.

      The Meseta continues to be .... Bland.
      The landscape was dominated by cornfields today.

      I had high hopes for finding a pool but it seems I misread the icons on the app.... Plenty of warm adobe but no splish-splash, alas.

      My feet and belly are feeling a million times better, and that's good enough.

      We didn't really plan to splurge but Bruce and I got a double room at a hotel instead of paying only slightly less for dormitory space at the albergue. I'm going to get spoiled if I keep doing this. I find it challenging to not 'splurge' less than the cost of a pint of beer at home to have a better sleep. Maybe I'm getting soft.

      Another easy walk - at El Burgo Ranero

      24 Eylül 2018, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      We are spoilt with these flat walks...still on the Maseta but this will end soon after León I think. We left leisurely at 8.10, and the searing heat of yesterday afternoon had transformed to delicious cool, and we walked out of Sahagún almost liking the city! It is not beautiful, but we do cross a lovely Roman bridge as we leave. This is an intensely agricultural area....in the distance the silo is taller than any of the church towers!! But today didn’t feel quite as far away from civilisation....there were main roads and trucks on the horizon, but we walked along a little path next to a very minor road, hardly any cars, and with a shade-providing line of trees, and we didn’t even work up a sweat. Extremely comfortable and still interesting.

      So here we are, before 1 pm, in a tiny place, washed and refreshed. Our washing is hanging out on our balcony (hope no one looks up from the bar and sees it!)...and tomorrow is another fairly easy, flat walk of about 20 kms I think, and then we walk into León on Wednesday and stay for 2 nights!
