      Day 16

      Vaya noche!

      May 5 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

      Hornillos del Camino es un pueblo con 58 habitantes. Quién me iba a decir que pasaría una noche tan divertida. Paseando por la calle me encontré con Omar, un Senegales que regenta un restaurante en el pueblo (solo hay 2, aparte de los 3 o 4 albergues). Así que me fui a cenar allí. Me sentó en la mesa con David, un chico americano de Austin, Texas. Y además de la comida de Senegal, disfrutamos de un espectáculo de música en directo con música pop y óperas. Divertidísimo y surrealista todo.Read more

      Tag 19 Hornillos de Ca nach Castrojeriz

      May 20, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      Heute fing der Tag schon 5:30 an . Um 6 Uhr ging es dann loss , bei eher kühlen Temperaturen aber es sollte heute wieder recht warm werden was es auch wurde 🥵.Nach 10 km kam dann eine Kirche die sogar offen war. Mann glaubt garnicht was einem so ein Gotteshaus geben kann . Man geht erschöpft hinein und kommt voller neuer Energie und einer inneren Ruhe wieder heraus. Einfach Unglaublich. Ich habe natürlich eine Kerze angezündet für meine Liebsten und alle die mich im Gedanken auf meinem Weg begleiten. Unterwegs kam ich an einem ehemaligen Pilger Spital vorbei wovon allerdings nur noch die Grundmauern stehen. In Castrojeriz gibt es eine wunderschöne Kirche in der gerade eine Ausstellung stattfindet. Ich finde den Weg immer bedeutsamer für mich und mein späteres Leben. Heute Abend gibt es Südkoreanische Essen . Ich bin gespannt.Read more

      Von Burgos nach hornillos del ...camino

      May 19, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Hallo hallo, schöne Grüße aus dem sonnigen Spanien, genauer gesagt aus Kastilien y Leon. Heute stand die Etappe von Burgos hinaus in die Baum und schattenlose Meseta an. Bei fast 28°C dürfte man freundlich vor sich hinschwitzen. Habe die Etappe etwas eingekürzt, weil mir meine kleine Blessur am linken Schienbein ein wenig Stress verursachte. Landschaftlich hat diese Gegend nicht die grossen Highlights zu bieten aber die relativ flache und ebene Strecke, macht das Pilgern angenehmer. Fazit des Tages: mit den Kräften haushalten.Read more

      Irgendwo im Nirgendwo Teil 2

      May 5, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

      Kann es kaum glauben, aber ich habe auf Anhieb das Zelt aufbauen können 😊😇😂😂😂 bzw. es ist bislang noch nicht in sich zusammen gefallen 🤭🤭🤭 und hoffentlich kommt keiner und sagt dass ich hier gar nicht das Zelt aufstellen darf 😱😱😱

      Bin heute ca 31 - 33 km gestöckelt. Hier mal ein ganz ganz großes Danke an mein Nordic Walking Set, ihr seid die beste Stütze, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. 🥳🥳🥳

      Gleich gibt es was zu essen, Baguette, Salami, Käse, ne kleine Dose Oliven und eine Fanta. Leider habe ich keine Wasserquelle mehr gefunden und so muss ich leider bis morgen früh warten, aber das nächste Dorf ist von hier schon in Sichtweite und dürfte so 2 km sein.

      Tja ansonsten bin ich heute ausgepowert und hätte die letzten zwei km auch wirklich nicht mehr geschafft. Ansonsten warte ich nun auf die zweite Welle. Die erste Welle hat mich von der Idee dies hier zu tun, bis nach Granon, wo ich in der Kirche geschlafen habe, getragen. Seitdem ist Flaute, auch der Spirit ist mir irgendwie verloren gegangen und ich glaube es ist einfach ein Zeichen, dass ich mal ruhiger werden sollte, mich erholen und eigentlich habe ich mit der ersten Welle ja auch schon was geschafft. Wird sich schon zeigen warum die zweite no nicht da ist. 🤔

      Wie so oft eben im Leben :Geduld, Geduld, Geduld 😔 seufz

      Mit Burgos hatte ich ungefähr ein Drittel des Weges nach Santiago de Compastella erreicht. Bin inzwischen unter der 500km Entfernungsmarke. Aber wenn ich dann wirklich noch nach Finestere, das besagte "Ende der Welt" ans Meer möchte, dann sind es nochmal 150km zusätzlich 😱🤔😳

      Also morgen doch wieder Gas geben um Finestere rauszuarbeiten 🥵

      Bis bald wieder und ich hoffe es geht euch gut

      Bussis 😘😘😘😘💋💖      Read more

      Entering the Meseta

      April 29 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      Burgos to Hornillos del Camino
      The Meseta is widely considered the “Mind” section of the Camino Frances, due to the long stretches with little distraction. It is about 220km long between Burgos and Leon, and can take 9 days to trek across. The Meseta is a high plateau in central Spain that's mostly treeless and covered in grain and vegetable fields. Most people either love it or hate it. We shall see which camp we fall into… 🌾🌾🌾 We completely lucked out and arrived into Hornillos after a long 22k day to grab the last few beds at an awesome albergue. Aimee is still recovering from a head cold & I’m fighting a bit of a stomach bug, so it felt like an extra hard day for both of us. A wonderful community Paella dinner was the perfect end to the day! ☀️We met new friends today from the UK, Spain, California, New Zeland, Australia, Italy & Germany. ❤️☮️Read more

      Hornillos del Camino

      September 27, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Dzisiaj nie było żadnych zabytków i w mieście do którego doszliśmy też nie ma zabytków 😁.
      Dzień rozpoczął się od bardzo dobrego śniadanka no i potem w drogę. Burgos ciągnęło się dość długo, mało żółto - niebieskich znaczków, jeden objazd znaczy obchód, bo były roboty drogowe, ale generalnie wzdłuż rzeki i wydobyliśmy się. Po drodze parę miłych konwersacji z błyskawiczną panią z Idaho i chłopakiem z Portugalii który tez był torpedowiec, ale przystawał na odpoczynek, więc mijaliśmy się z nim wielokrotnie. Co roku idzie na któreś Camino. Doszlismy do wniosku, że nie ważne jak szybko się idzie, ale idąc nie stoi się w miejscu, i po drodze spotyka się tych samych ludzi, bo każdy odpoczywa w różnym czasie. My idziemy powoli, ale jednostajnie do przodu, z krótkimi przerwami. To jest nasz styl. Steady forward.
      Pomału weszliśmy w mesete, bardzo dużą przestrzeń i bardzo duże niebo. Na szczęście nie było za gorąco, myślę że przy dużych temperaturach ta przestrzeń i niebo byłyby bardzo trudne. Troszkę pagórków i długie, strome zejście do miasteczka. Może jedyna ciekawostka jest to że kręcono to jeden z fragmentów filmu "The Way" w Albergue De Sol A Sol.
      So, to continue with the legends, Hornillos has its own, too. There is a picture of the town Fuente with the rooster on top. Why rooster? One will ask... There is the legend, that once, the Napoleon army was passing through the the town of Hornillos, while all the people were at the church( the one in the background of the picture of the fuente). They killed and stole all the town's chickens and took them away... Apparently not all the poultry got killed, there was one rooster who survived and with a loud voice alerted the people at the church and they quickly figured it out who was guilty ... Now the famous Rooster the Savior stands in the center place of the Hornillos 🐓      Read more

      Hornillos & Beginning of the Meseta

      September 13, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 70 °F

      Leaving Burgos we traveled with a few new women who have been also traveling solo.

      We saw a gentleman from Ireland traveling alone, and quite confused—this was his first day on the Camino, as he is starting from Burgos. We helped Simon learn how to spot “ the way” out of Burgos. But I must say, Burgos is terribly marked—or should I say not marked much at all! Simon seemed happy to have a cadre of pilgrims to follow.

      After 5 hours, 15 miles, and one big hill later we are at our Albergue for the night.

      Tomorrow we begin the Meseta. Meseta is a part of Spain known among pilgrims for its wide skies, dry heat, and flat lands. It is
      180 km some say 220 km, some have no idea! There is very little to see. It is important to carry more water than usual. And it is important to be prepared for heat, sun, and rain.

      Speaking of rain, we are having an incredible storm now. Praying pilgrims are not walking in it! ⛈

      I’m off to have a beverage, and dinner after washing the sweat, dust, and dirt from my clothes and me!

      Feeling better today. How wonderful it was to have a rest day yesterday! Soaking in a hot bathtub two days in a row was a true luxury!

      Tomorrow I am off to Castrojeriz, 20.1 klicks.

      Can you find the shell or yellow arrows? Some signs are more obvious than others, but not most.

      Blessings to all who read this! ✝️💜      Read more

      Burgos to Hornillos Del Camino

      September 13, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

      We thought the walk from Burgos to Hornillos would be boring and a struggle since it is the beginning of crossing the Meseta, but it was anything but.

      First we saw a Korean mother-daughter team that we had not seen in a few days and it was gratifying to see they are progressing with us. We got a foto with them. We are trying to do that at every opportunity, because you never know if you will see each other again,

      Second, we stopped in a restaurant/hostel “La Fuente” in Rabé de la Calzada to use the bathroom and met the couple who were running the place who just so happen to be from Azua, Dominican Republic, where Cristina is from. De Azua para todo el mundo!

      Third, we entered several small churches along the way and in the last received a pilgrim’s blessing and pendant from the señora attending.

      Lastly, the Camino Frances is very full right now. The albergue operators are all commenting about how packed it is. Our luck has it that one couple canceled their private room at “Meeting Point” before we arrived and the hostelera remembered us and penciled us in and we grabbed it. So no snorers or flatulent spewers for us tonight!

      We had a great menu del día with a Spanish couple from Segovia at Manolo’s bar up the street.

      So we have stepped out of Burgos onto the dreaded Meseta feeling very blessed indeed!      Read more

      Day 20

      Day 18 - To Hornillos

      September 26, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

      Day 18 - To Hornillos
      (pr. Horneos)
      21 kms; Difficulty 2/3

      Today was a VERY interesting day.

      I travelled through a small village and saw a little church that I decided to stop at. There was a nun there who gave everyone a miraculous medal around their neck, put her hands on our shoulders and said a prayer. I don’t know what it was about that little church, but many people became quite emotional when inside. This nun was from the St. Vincent de Paul order who are committed to serving the poor. She told us the story of how she became a nun.
      Many years ago, on this one particular day, she was in Paris with friends. She got separated from them and got lost. She saw a “shrine” and went in, prayed, and asked herself what she should do with her life. She heard a voice tell her that she should join the St. Vincent de Paul order. And so she did. That was 40 years ago! And she has been serving ever since.

      A couple days ago I was phoning around looking for a place to stay at Hornillos. At one hotel I talked to a man named Samuel. He told me if I couldn’t find a place to call him back and he would see what he could do. So I called him back. He set me up at a place about 10 km out of town called El Molino, his parent’s place which is usually closed down but they were willing to open it up for desperate pilgrims. When I got into town I went to see Samuel and he called someone to come and pick me up. By then there was several others that had joined the group to go out there. While I was waiting for the ride I saw a picture on his wall about the movie “The Way” and he proceeded to tell me this story:
      In 2003 Martin Sheen, and Emilio‘s son Taylor did the Camino Trail. I read that they did it by car, I guess because they only had two weeks.
      It turned out that they stayed at El Molino. Taylor and Samuel's sister met, fell in love and eventually got married.
      In 2009 they all went back to Spain for Taylor‘s wedding and stayed to shoot the movie. Samuel told me they shot scenes of the movie at El Molino and a man by the name of Maxi, who was also in the movie, is still at El Molino. So I was anxious to get there and check it out.
      El Molino is a BIG beautiful place that kind of reminds me of the plantation homes in the southern states. I can tell it was an active Albergue at one time, still beautiful, but becoming rundown. Samuel‘s parents live in Burgos and I guess they have Maxi looking after it. I took many pictures and when I have the chance I will watch the movie again to see if I can recognize any parts of El Molino!
      Photo of Samuel and you’ll see a picture of the movie on the wall. If you zoom in you will see it signed by Martin Sheen in 2011.
      You can see Maxi in the bottom left corner of the last picture.      Read more
