      Fromista to Carrion de los Condes

      6 września 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌙 55 °F

      Left for Carrion de los Condes at 7:30 AM. Approximately 21 km's. Beautiful morning, very cool, nice countryside to hike through. During the lunch stop in Villacarzar, de sirga ran into several of the corp pilgrims we began the journey with. Great seeing them and catching up. Great day fitness wise, never got tired feet, and ankles held up well. Trekking poles are amazing. After checking g into the municipal alberge, did some hand washing, walked to the supermercado for some Dove soap. Will grap dinner, to sleep early. Thought the nuns at the church were singing tonight , however, they are on a rest day. Buen Camino. Czytaj więcej

      Villarmentero de Campos

      15 września 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

      W miarę łagodny dzień, który rozpoczął się w kończącej porannej burzy, następnie w deszczu i na koniec zakończył się wieczorną burzą. Droga była płaska i prowadziła nas do Fromisty, miasteczka z dwoma ciekawawymi kościołami. Biegła wzdłuż kanału melioracyjnego sprzed 200 lat. Wędrowaliśmy z naszymi Caminowymi przyjaciółmi AJ(Miami), Lucas( Niemcy ale mieszka na wyspach Kanaryjskich) and Ben(Węgry).
      Każdy jeden (Lucas i Ben) jest bardzo ciekawą postacią, myślę że z pogranicza autyzmu i bycia geniuszem.
      Kościół Sw. Marcina należy bez dwóch zdań do klasy perełek . Co prawda odbudowany w XVIII wieku po częściowym zburzeniu w czasie wojny, ale pierwotnie zbudowany w 1066 roku, prezentuje się w sposób niesamowicie zharmonizowany architektonicznie i stylistycznie. Detale kolumn i ich wykończenie są po prostu przepiękne i trudno dobrać właściwe słowa, aby je godnie opisać. Co ciekawe każda głowica kolumny jest inna.
      Drugi kościół jest pod wezwaniem St.Pedro, urodzonego we Fromista patrona żeglarzy, również bardzo interesujący z ciekawą rzeźbą Jezusa, którego skóra jest czarna. Znajdują się tam również rzeźby Sw. Łucji i Sw. Agaty pierwsza z wydłubanymi oczami, które trzyma na tacy i druga z obciętymi piersiami również na tacy.
      Zadziwia mnie moc nienawiści i chęci zadawania bólu u tych którzy wykonywali takie tortury..

      Fromista to Carrion de Los Condes

      1 października 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Today we decided to have breakfast at our hotel at 730 am as we were only walking 19 km but knew it was going to be another very hot day. After a delicious breakfast and the first time I could have cereal ( cornflakes!) we set off again but this time in daylight. The moon was still out and once again a chilly start to the day. The feet were all good and there was much chat as we walked the first 11km but much of it was a tree lined path alongside a river( not like the rivers we know, more a sludgy canal) We did stop in at one beautiful church along the way and even if not religious they are a haven to sit in and get out of the sun.
      Finally we came to a cute little village which is home to the magnificent Templar church of Santa Maria built in the 13 th C. Again a cool haven to sit in with beautiful music playing!
      Over the road at the cafe we enjoyed pizzas and coffee. Interestingly enough our American friend and another pilgrim were complaining about the bees hovering over their food but they were actually wasps. Do they not have wasps in Nth Carolina?
      By now the day was getting hot and we still had 5 km to go with no shade so it was basically, just get on with it. Ear plugs in, audio music and books on we kept walking along side a road but expansive views and big blue skies with the sun beating down.
      I have taken a video a km out . Luckily there was a bit of a breeze so finally about 1 pm we entered Carrion de Los Condes which is a really pretty town and even had a great sports shop. Carrion has quite a mediaeval feel and was the home of 14 pilgrim hospitals. At its height it had a population of 10 thousand but now is only 2000 and declining. It seems most of these towns have declining populations!
      A few items were purchased and we banged into a few of our pilgrim family two being the Australian father and son who are staying in a monastery. The father last time we saw him had terrible blisters and was searching for hikers wool. We did give him some but then he found a paddock of sheep so went in and plucked wool off the fence for his blisters! We couldn't help but mention the rugby but he is only interested in AFL . Jane and I then met up again with a lovely young Mexican who carries an umbrella and a shopping bag as he hikes ( photo enclosed) .
      Finally we arrived at our hotel which is 1 star but very comfortable. Before we do anything we have a cold beer so cold beers it was and even better was a plate of delicious black pudding. There we met up again with a Virginian named Bill who had a lot to chat about having lived in Botswana and Nigeria many years working for the Peace Corps and was married in Botswana ( like the Cockrells)
      Anyway the beer was cold and we enjoyed listening and when Bill told us about meeting his wife across a crowded room, Lee and Brian proceeded to sing him Some enchanted evening from Sth Pacific. Ok boys time for a siesta!
      Tomorrow is going to be a 27 km walk with little or no shade so we will set off early as it's going to be another hot hot day.

      Going to Carrión de los Condes

      9 października 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 48 °F

      Today we walked 19 km alongside the highway to get to Carrión de los Condes. It was relatively flat and mostly not too hot.

      We passed a shepherd on the way. His herding dog was a goofy German Shepherd puppy, maybe 4-5 months old. Needless to say the pup wasn’t much help! The sheep spilled out of their enclosure, onto the Camino, and onto the highway where they stopped all traffic!

      We have been wondering for days how the sunflowers here are harvested. Today we saw two fields of flowers being harvested. We still don’t know how the oil is extracted but at least we saw the lawnmower-like machines cutting down the spent plants.

      David started out pretty well and didn’t carry a pack today due to his messed up back and “tilt.” But as the day wore on he started moving slower and tilting more. When we got to our hotel I spent a couple hours trying to figure out how to get him a massage. Out here in the countryside it is not easy! But tomorrow we’re walking slowly to Ledigos. David’s not carrying a pack and will use poles. Then we’ll take a taxi from our albergue (hostel) to the next town where he has an appointment for a massage. Here’s to hoping it does the trick!

      Long walk to Frómista

      3 maja, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Another amazing day, but quite a long one…about 27 kms, though Amr’s watch says 28…but it again was sensational, except just when we had almost arrived, and were enjoying walking along the canal de Castillo there was a diversion and we had to take a long cut around some works, where it looks like they are putting a highway through…probably only an extra km but it was a bit boring!

      Otherwise it was great - we set off about 9, and it was cold but not icy, and left Castrojeriz and the first thing was a long climb - about 1.5 kms and 900 metres - which we knew from before, but this time it was a sparkling green and amazing panorama back to Castrojeriz. We had always thought wow, but in spring WOW! The you walk across the plateau and down the other side, steeper but fortunately paved so no sliding loose stones, and another great vista on the other side.

      Then it went on, always green and lovely, and undulating, but it was long. There are many wild flowers - rogue yellow rapeseed plants dotted, rosemary bushes now flowering, and we found from Rachel’s app that one rather straggly but pretty flower was “rocket salad” and looked carefully, and smelt the leaves, and it was rocket, arugula. And there are poppies, and we identified a Judas tree flowering beautifully. We stopped for a break (but to my horror they didn’t do ColaCao) and otherwise just plowed on.

      Got to the lovely canal de Castillo before reaching Frómista and stopped in a bar before even finding the hotel. Finally I had my ColaCao, and it was in a ColaCao glass!!! A first! Also, while we were sitting there an American pilgrim came up to Amr and said how much he loved the hat!! I thought all who have commented would appreciate that…Then found our hotel, all in the same one tonight, and a new one for us. A very modern ecohotel, and large modern room and such a huge bed we will lose each other. All meeting for dinner later, at a restaurant they have given us vouchers for.

      Een eerste dag vol nieuwe ontmoetingen

      6 maja, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

      Vandaag begon dan echt weer het camino leven en met die instelling begon ik dan ook de dag. Het lopen naar Carrión de los condes was een eenvoudige wandeling van ongeveer 20km. Onderweg aan de praat geraakt met een Amerikaan, een Schot een Italiaanse en een stuk heerlijk alleen gelopen. Toen ik ik Carrión aan kwam had ik een lekker rustig terrasje uitgezocht voor mijn lunch. Vlak daarna schoof de Amerikaan die eerder had ontmoet aan en voor ik het wist zaten we met zijn vijven aan tafel.
      Het avondeten werd een groep van een man of 10, ik had zelf ook nog een andere Nederlander meegenomen. Het was een gezellige avond en waren er uiteindelijk 8 flessen wijn op gegaan.
      Al met al een heerlijk begin van de Camino.
      Vandaag ga ik een serieuzer stuk lopen... Wordt vervolgd.

      66. Wandertag

      3 czerwca 2023, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Vor dem Start am Morgen etwas Gymnastik. Der Sonnenaufgang und der Weg fantastisch. Immer wieder Storchennester und heute habe ich wieder einmal eine Lerche singen gehört. Immer wieder gerne gesehen die Cafés am Wegrand, hier gibt es feinen Milchkaffee, Tortillias und sonstige kleinen Tapas. Dann die alten Schleusen von Fromista und die obligaten Wegweiser. Das letzte Foto zeigt die Vielfältigkeit der Nationen. Hier zwei Deutsche, ein Italiener und ich. Heute beim Essen waren wir ein Italiener, ein Franzose, eine Belgierin, Südkoreaner, eine Frau aus Hongkong, ein Mann aus Taiwan und ich aus der Schweiz. Es war lustig und interessant.
      Vor dem Einkaufsladen habe ich einen etwas korpulenten Mann getroffen, er war dabei seinen Hosengurt anzuziehen, dabei hat er mir erklärt, dass er in den letzten zwei Monaten auf dem Weg 10 Kilogramm abgenommen habe. Unmittelbar daneben stand ein anderer schlanker Mann, trocken erklärte er, dass wenn er 10 Kg abnehmen sollte, man ihm einen Knochen herausnehmen müsste. Alle drei haben wir herzlich gelacht.
      Bin mal gespannt wie schwer ich bin, wenn ich wieder zuhause bin.

      Plan B1

      8 czerwca 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

      Admittedly bit a little bit more than I can chew by aggressively planning couple of upcoming days at 30-plus km which I now realize I cannot possibly do
      I now know that it would be very hard to do even without any blisters which unfortunately I still have
      so taking another "rest" day somewhat earlier than planned but completely taking it easy and grabbing a train to León which will then shorten the overall walk and allow me to plan for shorter daily stages
      Meanwhile lazily woke up at a considerably later hour and fueled myself with a quite full breakfast

      Lazy morning in Fromista

      8 czerwca 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

      Couple of more shots (ahem) downtown

      Waiting at the train station
      I think the doggies belong to the station master.

      Billy from Scotland and Chacho from Spain...
      Herve from France.
      Their Caminos are (sadly) finished... but there's always another time

      Tried to get pictures of Guarda Civilia but somehow chopped their heads off
