      Out of Foncebadon and into the mountains

      18. april, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F

      The night in the renovated convent was absolutely lovely. I feel so blessed for this beautiful weather across beautiful country.

      Just 2 km from our convent is the “Cruz de fierro”- the iron cross. This is a place where pilgrims place a stone or other symbolic item as a way to lay down their burden. It may be a memorial for a loved one, a personal quest, or a release.

      When we started planning for the Camino, we knew we wanted to come here. We both picked out stones from home and carried them in our pockets. We left the Albergue at 6:15 with the full sky of stars ⭐️ greeting us. We pass the field of sleeping cows and a pond of frogs that had been so noisy the night before. We made it to the cross as the sun rose.

      I brought 2 stones. A small rose quartz serves as a symbol of letting go of my heart ever being smaller than it truly is. To let go of hiding myself or my deeper emotions, to open to the beautiful extremes of life. We great joy comes great sorrow, with deep love comes deep loss. My emotions are my superpowers and I’m willing to stand up for them.
      A small oval stone I had painted in gold 🌀 spirals. It symbolized to me opening up to was beyond my imagination. What is beyond perception and doubt to what is truly felt and known in the spirit.
      I was truly touched by the hundreds of other burdens laid down - stones, shoes, rosaries 📿, jewelry, toys, flags….

      As we walked onward to the sun touching the tops of the mountains, we talked about what the experience meant to us and what we welcome with that release. It’s the kind of conversation I’m so glad to have with my life partner!

      At the top of one of the highest passes, there was a tiny coffee cart with fresh hard boiled eggs, espresso and other things. By mostly a view and a fire! 🔥

      We are starting to feel the challenge of the walk more now. At over 51,000 steps (18. 1 miles) today, I go to bed with a very sore knee. And not the one that has been injured the last 8 months! The stress from walking down very rough terrain is working that joint line. Luckily there was a farmacia at our ending point where the pharmacist looked at my knee and gave me a knee brace and some CBD/Arnica cream.

      And poor paul has an impressive blister on his toe .

      We are both trying to keep ahead with the sunscreen, tho it’s ☀️ still getting us with sweaty clothes and heat rash.

      Regardless, we remain very positive and grateful for the amazing accommodations available, for the community of pilgrims, for the drinkable tap water, for a soft bed and a hot shower. And for our continued support of each other.      Les mer

      Uno de los sitios más emblemáticos del Camino de Santiago. Y ciertamente es muy especial. Aquí he dejado la piedra que cogí en San Juan de Pie de Puerto y he llevado en mi mochila hasta hoy. Mucha gente dejando desde lágrimas hasta cenizas de seres queridos. Muy emotivo.Les mer

      Day 23 not walking!

      1. juni, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

      Decided to take the taxi with Linda first thing, stunning panorama as the taxi climbed to the Iron Cross at 1,505m. We got out at the top and joined short queue to take our turn at the Iron Cross. The tradition is that you lay a stone at the base of the cross to either leave a burden there or to remember a loved one. A very kind friend gave me a small stone from Dorset beach but I unfortunately managed not to pack it - sorry Clare! So I laid a virtual stone for my dad, Bettie and Kitty, and Alexis, uncle John, uncle Tom, aunty Mini and Nanny - no longer in this world but for ever in our hearts ♥️
      The area around the Iron Cross was atmospheric and felt on top of the world, and included a large sun dial and small chapel. Some of the Korean party that we keep bumping into, were also there, and an older Korean gentleman starting spontaneously singing Ave María, which was unexpected but lovely and he received applause in appreciation.
      The downward taxi ride was again stunning scenery as we went over the mountain and into the next valley but unfortunately there was no where to stop and take photos!
      I arrived at our destination Albergue Senor Oso in Molinaseca too early to check in and explored this historic medieval place, with narrow streets and overhanging bits. There is lovely pilgrim bridge which is based on a Roman bridge and we’re in small Albergue in bunks! The host Jose is very nice and runs the bakers next door. I was asking him about perhaps seeing a doctor and explained my big toe issue, and he suggested I see the local pharmacist. He also kindly prepared a bowl of cold salt water for me. The pharmacist was very helpful and felt sure that 10 days of antibiotics had got rid of the infection but I just need to protect the toe, continue ibuprofen to reduce inflammation, raise it and ideally ice it. So I shall be walking tomorrow 😊
      Fiona completed today’s walk and did say the downhill part was not fun at all, but obviously the views were fantastic at the top!      Les mer

      Stage 27: Astorga-Foncebadón

      12. oktober 2022, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Another umpteen kms, probably about 26/16 some miles, the last 6 km/3.6 miles of which were up the side of a mountain, 9 hours, 46°-68°
      The idea being to go a little further today to make tomorrow's summiting of the highest point on the Camino easier. Tomorrow I'll get to the Cruz de Ferro, the highest elevation on the Camino. The elevation gain is spread out longer and starting from higher elevation to begin with, so not as tough as the Pyrenees but significant none the less. Aside from Santiago, the Cruz de Ferro (Iron Cross) may be the spiritual high point of the Camino, the place where centuries of pilgrims have left a stone or other memento representing a burden relinquished, a thanksgiving or prayer request. I have carried a little pouch of items to be laid there tomorrow, feel like I need to prepare. But first, shower, laundry and FOOD.Les mer

      People carry stones from home and leave them here as a way of relieving themselves of a particular burden. They also leave mementoes of loved ones.

      Fazit der 12. Woche

      11. juni 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Wir befinden uns wieder auf 1‘432 m.ü.M. Und steuern auf den nächsten Höhepunkt das Cruz de Ferro zu. Will ich eine Rückblende machen fallen mir immer wieder die Begegnungen mit Menschen, aus vielen verschiedenen Ländern, alte und Junge auf. Diese Vielfältigkeit ist der wahre Schatz des Camino. Auch mein Camino geht langsam dem Ende zu und langsam werde auch ich mich vom Weg verabschieden müssen. So frage ich mich, was machte der Weg mit mir? Was bleibt vom Weg bei mir hängen? Einige Leute die ich getroffen haben waren schon mehrfach auf dem Camino. Ich bin ja auch schon das zweite Mal hier. Der Rekord hat aktuell einer der mir gesagt hat er sei das fünfte Mal auf dem Camino unterwegs. Die Antworten mag ich jetzt noch nicht geben, dafür ist es noch zu früh. Ich nehme sie aber mit in meinen Gedanken auf diesem „wunder“baren Weg nach Santiago. Euch wünsche ich eine gute Woche.

      Camino Day 15 - Acebo

      8. september 2023, Spania ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      We left around 8am for a climb into the hills.
      It started out pretty ok, but soon turned into a bit of a hard slog uphill on rough terrain.
      Stopped in for a great breakfast an hour in.
      The scenery was a dramatic change from the last week's with Alpine hills and valleys.
      The track was quite rough and rocky, but considering there have been millions of people walking this track for hundreds of years it's not hard to see why it's the way it is.
      The main stop on this section is Cruz de Fero, where pilgrims leave a stone from their home country to signify leaving behind something they want to leave behind on the Camino.
      It was supposed to be a 16km day but turned into a 21km day once we arrived at our luxury albergue with a pool bar and restaurant, and still only 15 euros.
      They have agreed to switch the tv to the rugby tonight so we can catch the first game of the world cup, all blacks v France.      Les mer

      El Acebo from Rabanal

      25. oktober 2023, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

      Had a great sleep last night. Waited but the bus didn’t show. Found a bar open and got coffee and breakfast before hitting the road. I had been concerned about the path up the hill, but it really wasn’t as bad as I expected.

      Arriving in Foncebadon, I encountered an accordion concert in progress! After a hot cup of tea, went on to Cruz Ferro at the top of the mountains. Tradition is to bring a rock from home representing your sins and cast it at the foot of the cross. I forgot to bring a rock, again, so I guess I’m still burdened.

      While I had worried about going up the mountain, I should have worried more about getting down. It was a rough rest of the day. Steep grades, exposed bedrock, and loose rock on top of exposed rock faces. My knees don’t do downhill well in any form, but this was special. And it started raining about that time. Going slowly, I made it in pretty good shape, but definitely feeling the day.      Les mer

      Day 4: El Gonzo to Foncebadon

      9. april, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

      Last nights adventure sleeping in a teepee with no heat went ok. I was in my sleeping bag, fully clothed, jacket on and two heavy blankets. Was worried our stuff was not going to dry out. But alas, when we woke up all our clothing was good to go.
      We walked 8.5 miles in the trail. All up hill.
      Today we met a bunch of people. Decided to stay in an alberque with them. Had a communal dinner tonight.
      Good day.      Les mer
