      Hospital de Orbigo

      3. oktober 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Day 30 - Walked 35 kms today from Leon to the town of Hospital de Orbigo. It was a brutal walk - almost all the way on the sidewalk along a highway. My knees were shot by the time I reached this place. It was a warm afternoon and I was out of water. At the outskirts of town I fell upon the water fountain. Aaaahhh!
      Being me, I signed up for a ‘free’ historical guided tour of Hospital de Orbigo . This very cute 20 something explained the story of the knight who had to charge with his lance and break 300 lances of challengers in order to win his lady love. This event was staged on the bridge leading into town.
      The town is very pretty and I stayed in a cute Albergue. I met a humanitarian nurse, Brenda, who walked to Astorga with me.      Læs mere

      I planned to stay over in Hospital de Orbigo, but got to the town at 11:20 and decided to carry on to the next town. Seeing that I did not book any accommodation it is easy to change my plans. I walked over the famous bridge and the first one on my CaminoLæs mere

      Astorga! And Less than 300 km left!

      16. oktober 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 54 °F

      Today we walked to Astorga. It is a lovely town with a cathedral and a building designed by Gaudi. And, maybe most importantly, a shoe store! I sad as it was to say goodbye to my previous shoes, the soles were completely torn up. They had to be replaced.

      We had a wonderful time at our previous location. Our hosts were completely lovely. Dolores, the woman who ran the lodging facility, was so lovely. She gave us and our new friend from Chile big hugs when we left this morning. We made friends with a wonderful woman from Chile. She walks faster than us, though, so I’m not sure if I’m going to see her anymore!

      Walk today was only 15 km. It was pleasant and through countryside. We arrived in Astorga fairly early. We went to a shoe store. They had the same brand of shoes I have been wearing but not the same model. They probably gave me a blister between my big toe and second toe! So I have been doctoring the blister and I relaced the shoes. Hopefully that will solve the problem and my shoe issues will no longer be a problem.

      We went to that which was lovely. We had an audio tour. It rained on us even though it wasn’t supposed to rain once we were here in town. Of course, we were not carrying our ponchos when we were out being tourists. All of the restaurants in town are closed because today is Monday. Not Sunday, but Monday. Apparently that’s a thing too! So we and all the other pilgrims in town are at a pizza place tonight. But Pizza is a good all purpose food!

      We were looking at a map for tomorrow, and we have a steady, uphill climb going to our next location, Rabanal. We were surprised to see that the day after tomorrow is the day we go to Cruz de Ferro where are we will be leaving our rocks on the big mound where everybody else leaves that rocks! It’s actually pretty exciting to have made it more than 2/3 of the way now!

      We were very excited when we saw a mileage marker that was 369 km. Unfortunately, about 5 km later we found a mileage marker that said we had 375 km to go! I think it just goes to show you that you can’t really trust those mileage markers! According to our guide book, we have 256 km to go!      Læs mere

      Ur jousting me

      17. april, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C

      Compared to the Meseta, towns are beautifully spaced now, and I came, in time, to Hospital de Orbigo and its wonderful bridge.

      I was completely in my head until I got here, and it pulled me into the moment where I stayed the rest of the day.

      I was looking at the wooden stuff on the grassed side, making another Knights Tale joke to myself when I realised, later confirmed by a sign, no that is an *actual* jousting set up. Brilliant.      Læs mere

      21. Tag: Villavante - Astorga

      24. august 2019, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      Wie am Vorabend beschlossen gehe ich heute mit Martin aus Hamburg gemeinsam. Wir brechen erst gegen 7:00 Uhr auf, da wir heute entspannte 23 km vor uns haben. Nach ca 1 km stell ich dann fest, das ich meine Wanderstöcke in der Unterkunft vergessen habe. 🙄 Musste ja irgendwann passieren. Also wieder zurück. Werden heute dann wohl doch mehr km als geplant. 😂

      Die Landschaft ist toll, wir haben auch endlich wieder ein paar Höhenmeter, was mich tatsächlich nach den vielen flachen Etappen freut. Wirklich lustig, weil ich Berge eigentlich nicht leiden kann. Aber so ist das hier eben. Ich dachte vorher auch das ich nicht der Typ Mensch bin der alleine reist, auf Menschen zugeht oder das mein Englisch nicht besonders gut ist. Der Weg verändert einen eben....

      Auch das Wetter ist wieder super gut aber gegen Ende wieder superheiß und wir sind froh als wir in Astorga ankommen.      Læs mere

      Day 2 Hospital de Orbigo

      30. oktober 2023, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C

      Day two started without any troubles. I met two people from Netherlands so I practised my Dutch. The lady had a problem with her ankle and she could barely walk. They have been on Camino for seven weeks, me 2 days and I already feel quite beaten. The route was nice and quiet. The last stretch of La Meseta. Most of the time the route followed back country road with almost no traffic. One could see from horizon to horizon, nothing around. It reminded me of a story back in my hitchhiking days. One driver mentioned that he experienced something like that in Kazachstan. I strangely became happy when a car appeared on a horizon. I met a German peregrino. He called taxi since his ankle was also swollen and he could not walk anymore. He offered me a ride, I refused. First test? The bridge in Hospital De Orbigo is impressive, the longest on Camino, from 10th century. My albergue is just next to it. Super convenientLæs mere

      Hospital de Orbigo

      4. juli 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F

      Since we’re ahead of schedule we stopped early in a delightful village called Hospital de Orbigo. The pictures show coming into town across a very long bridge, the church, some of the quaint, and cobble stone lanes.

      But Sean had to explain the final photo for me because I hadn’t put together what I was seeing. It’s a jousting tournament setup!

      There are posters here at the albergue of the annual competitions and evidently it’s a really big thing—not just here but throughout the region. I’ve seen it in movies, but didn’t recognize it when I saw it in real life.

      These people take medieval fairies to a whole new level! Enjoy the pics.      Læs mere

      Camino Day 24: León to Hospital deÓrbigo

      4. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Total Distance: 41.5km
      Step Count: 58k
      Blisters to date: 2
      Tortillas to date: 21
      Injuries: shin splints

      Blippin’ longest day ever walking! Not just on the Camino but in my lifetime! - to date anyways.

      What was meant to be a 34km day (a bit of a stretch for my leg and the longest day I’d have so far) ended up being 41km! All the guide books and trail info about this stage were wrong as confirmed by the locals later.

      The walk itself was flat, uneventful, serene, with minimal stops, a very early start and some rain during the morning. I ended up walking the whole day with a Mexican woman who’d asked me in León if she could stick with me just to make her way out of town. It would be dark and she didn’t want to get lost but we found our way out easily thanks to another pilgrim who was heading out at the same time.

      Grumpiness kicked in after 30 odd KMs when I realised I still had another 8 to reach my destination but all the aches and pains disappeared in an instant when we arrived! Hospital de Órbigo was by far one of the most beautiful arrivals to a village with its long Roman bridge and the beautiful love story surrounding it (el Passo Honroso)! ❤️

      We were also going to stay at an Albergue run by Venezuelans which to my surprise was all dedicated to paintings by pilgrims. It was so colourful and reminded me of posadas by the beach back home! 💛💙❤️

      Lukas and I spent like an hour painting and then went to enjoy a well deserved dinner with Tim and then lots of sleep! The next day would be a short one 😊      Læs mere

      Hospital to astorga

      23. juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 57 °F

      Had a easy day today. We slept in a bit and started walking around 730. We got into astorga at 12. We had lunch at one of the places on the square. I had a pretty decent crispy burrito. Then we walked down to find churros. On the way there we stopped at a vermouth bar. It was pretty tasty. I had one that had a mango finsh. Then we walked around town trying to find them the one place we tried to go to was closed. We found another one. The chocolate was good but the churros were old. One we were done with that we walked over to the gudi building and did a walk through of that. It was neat to be able to go through it a second time. Then we went to the church it was a neat walk through. I whis I brought my headphones with me. I took them out right before we left. Other places are getting away from the audio and just using a qr code and you can just use your phone. After that I got some ice cream and wanted to take a minute and have one more drink. And to watch the bells.Læs mere

      Stage 22 - along the way

      26. april, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

      Today the Camino was back to its verdant, more interesting style after days of straight and flat.

      So many highlights, including the most beautiful supermodel chickens in a cafe we stopped at, the stunning Hospital de Órbigo (with its bridge that legend has it saw 300 knightly fights when one guy got turned down by a girl and decided he had to defend his honour by challenging everyone else to a fight in the 1400s!), and the most gloriously hippy food and rest stop in the middle of nowhere!Læs mere
