      Foncebadon to Ponferrada

      25 maja 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

      I caught a taxi this morning for the 22 km drive to Ponferrada (It was 27 km on the Camino). As we came up and down and down the mountains I realised that I had made the right decision - I couldn’t have walked it, especially with the very rocky paths.

      But the views were spectacular and it would have been a great walk under different circumstances.

      The upside was that I was able to spend time visiting the Templars Castle and wandering through the local street markets which were on today.

      Tag 32 Ponferrada Die Templer Rufen

      2 czerwca 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Der heutige Tag stand im Zeichen der Templer und der Entspannung.
      Heute ging ein kleiner Traum von mir in Erfüllung.
      Ich besuchte die Templer Burg in Ponferrada. Ein wirkliches Juwel.
      Das Wetter wollte erst nicht so richtig.
      Besann sich aber noch eines Besseren.
      Sonst war heute Entspannung auf dem Programm was auch mal nötig war.
      Die nächsten Etappen werden wieder ziemlich ehrgeizig aber das schaffe ich.
      Jetzt bin ich soweit gekommen.
      Natürlich bin ich auch stolz es bis jetzt soweit geschafft zu haben.       Czytaj więcej

      Last day at San Nicolas Albergue

      30 kwietnia, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 6 °C

      Today is the last day of doing everything I have done daily for the past 16 days!!!

      My partner (who I called " OPA") announced he was leaving early at 11 am. It is his daughter's birthday.

      The new group of 4 Hospitalaros arrive sometime today. Two are a couple from Italy and the other two unknown🧐 All I know is that Isobel and I are on the early shift 1-4 pm and then I pack 😅

      My bus leaves at 5:15 am to Fatima Portugal tomorrow morning. I will walk 2.5 km at 4:15 to the bus station. I cannot wait!!!!!!!!

      I have included pictures of a couple who have walked with their old dog of 13 years from Treport France They have walked 2000 km this far. They began Jan 1!!!! Unfortunately it is not a great picture of the dog. They have tented the whole way. Simply Amazing😉

      I also have a picture of a delightful elderly Japanese man who knows no English. We helped him extensively with luggage transfer, finding a grocery store , and showing him which way to find the Camino in the morning.💖💖💖

      Other pictures are from my walks around Ponferrada. The park is so beautiful and many do the circuit walk around it ( 1 km,)

      The mountains are beautiful in the distance ....sort of like Calgary and the Rockies😉

      My poles that I bought here and cannot take home were given to a Pilgrim in need this morning🌞🤗 That's brings me so much Joy 💖

      We are averaging 55 pilgrims each day I am so thankful that the numbers have stayed manageable. I know it won't be long before it will be full (140) every single night!!!

      Good Luck to the next group!!
      💪💪💪💪🍀🍀🍀🍀🙏🙏🙏🙏       Czytaj więcej

      Von el acebo nach ponferada

      1 czerwca 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

      Hola oder Hello, dass sind die häufigsten Begrüßungen auf dem camino, Englisch ist die Sprache, welche überwiegend gesprochen wird, wenn man den camino geht. Ob Asiaten, US Amerikaner, Kanadier, Skandinavier usw. usw. Verstehen oder sprechen Englisch aber auch mit etwas Spanisch, kann man so einiges erreichen, vor allem, weil ein gracias, buenos dias bei den Einheimischen sehr gut ankommt. Der Start von el acebo nach ponferada, wurde erstmal von einem kräftigen Regenguss eingeleutet, der zwar heftig aber nicht von Dauer war. Von nun an ging es bergab und zwar von ca. 1140 hm auf round abount 500 hm. Phasenweise waren diese Abstiege exorbitant gefährlich, wie am Vortag aber landschaftlich traumhaft schön. Letztendlich wurde auch diese Herausforderung gemeistert. Das Wetter war sehr wechselhaft und man musste so einige Male den Regenumhang überziehen um nicht wie ein begossener Pudel zu enden. In Ponferada wurde man von einem weiteren Regenguss begrüsst und wieder musste das Regencape herhalten aber vor allem die Suche nach der Unterkunft gestaltete sich etwas schwierig, weil diese im Stadtzentrum und etwas Abseits vom camino lag. Fazit des tages: Es ist nichts unmöglich auf dem camino. Hasta mañana Czytaj więcej

      2 czerwca 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Hallöchen, heute mal einen Tag Pause in ponferada gemacht und einige Sehenswürdigkeiten angeschaut. Das imposanteste war wohl die alte Templerburg ( siehe Fotos). Ansonsten einfach mal die geschundenen Fahrwerke hochgelegt. Morgen geht es 24km nach villafranca del bierzo. Erkenntnis des Tages: Ball flach halten und hoch gewinnen. Hasta pronto Czytaj więcej

      The Mystery of Water

      29 maja 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F

      Walking through any small town,village, or hamlet you will see these bottles filled with water. Apparently, natives believe it will turn away unwanted pests. I have seen similar things with ziploc baggies of water stapled to the wall of a café to keep flies out in the US Southwest. The belief works like this: a dog, or cat, will pee on the bottle which keeps from eroding the adobe or plaster.
      Most likely it’s more like this:
      Typically the way this works is a homeowner leaves the bottle out front. A cat comes along and rubs its face all over the bottle. A dog smells the cat has been there and pees on the bottle to mark it. A swarm of flies is attracted to the dog pee. And then along comes a pilgrim, “Hey! Free water!”       Czytaj więcej

      Ponferrada 2

      13 czerwca 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

      As stated I have a very short stage today so basically took all the extra time I wanted to walk around Ponferrada look at various things...

      So there's this sculpture about the legend:

      In Ponferrada, León, there is a very large castle. The castle is from the 12th century, it is on a small mountain and it is impressive. It was an imposing castle and belonged to the Knights of the Order of the Templars. The castle of Ponferrada was the most emblematic, most important and largest castle of the order of the Templars in the Iberian Peninsula.

       Legend has it that there is a hidden treasure in the castle of Ponferrada. This treasure was the greatest treasure of Christianity:
      The Holy Grail.
      The tablets of Moses with the ten commandments from Mount Sinai.
      King Solomon's table with all the knowledge of the universe.
      And gold, lots of gold...
      It's possible? It is true? Is the treasure of the Christians in the castle of Ponferrada?

       It's a posibility. This is the story, it is the legend of the Castle of Ponferrada..

       The 11th and 12th centuries in Europe were very complicated and dangerous. The Crusades, the terrible battles of Christian warriors against the infidels, were permanent.

       The 11th and 12th centuries were also centuries of pilgrimage. Jerusalem and Santiago de Compostela were very important cities in Christianity... The route to Santiago de Compostela grew and grew, in Santiago de Compostela there is the tomb of the apostle Santiago. The pilgrims were very numerous and the attacks on the pilgrims were cruel and intense. The protection of pilgrims heading to Santiago de Compostela was absolutely necessary.

       The Order of the Templars was a very powerful Christian military order in Europe in the Middle Ages. The Templar warriors were brave and relentless warriors. The white tunic and red cross were distinctive signs in Christianity, the sign of protection for the Christian faithful.

       The Christian faithful headed for Santiago de Compostela needed protection! The Templars made their way to the Iberian Peninsula and effectively protected the pilgrims on the Santiago de Compostela route from attack.

       The Templars built many castles on the Iberian Peninsula. There were many, many new castles.

       Legend has it that the Knights Templar hid the treasure of Christianity in the castle of Ponferrada: the gold of the Crusades, the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Covenant with the tables of Moses and King Solomon's table. They were the guardians of the treasure...
      Hmmmm... not the Legend I was talking about but heck the Holy Grail? Moses's 10 tablets? and King Solomon table of knowledge?... all in this Castle? I would probably keep it locked every day of the week not just Monday 😇😁

      And no thankfully we did not have to go up that streetI       Czytaj więcej

      Day 28

      20 września 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ 🌙 13 °C

      Messed up getting out of town this morning, so another couple of km’s added on 😂.. I’ve decided ( so has Steve 😬 ) I’m seriously rubbish at reading a map!! The Camino ninja app Norbert told me about is definitely a must for other rubbish map readers out there.
      For some strange reason, I was expecting today’s section to be flat.. it wasn’t at all .. no out and out climbs or descents, but really up and down through lots of villages and unbelievable scenery that just doesn’t come across on a photo as it’s so vast !!
      I had also assumed after last week that the weather had definitely turned autumnal… wrong!!! Absolutely boiling today ( it was still 28 degrees at 8pm ) not a cloud in the sky and not a breath of wind !!
      Note… today I saw my first Croc wearer!!! Why!!!that’s all!!!
      Villafranca del Bierzo is absolutely beautiful and well worth staying a night in… another fab meal and obviously.. red wine 😬!!! It tastes so much better in Spain.. I’m going to be the only person who goes home from a mammoth walking holiday fatter than when they started 😳
      I caught up with Yvonne and Hazel today, they’ve booked the donkey ride for O Cebreiro, so I hope I catch up with them again before we’re done to hear all about it.
      Although it seems in some ways like I’ve been away for such a long time, I can’t believe that I’m down to my final 10 days!! I was pretty confident I’d be ok with the walking, but have to admit I had massive fears and doubts about dealing with everything else on my own… I’ll be super proud of myself for doing so next week…       Czytaj więcej

      Day 24 - Ponferrada

      3 października 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 84 °F

      We leapfrogged a 102 kilometer section of the Camino by taxi today, covering in a 90-minute drive what would have taken us four days to walk.

      We lucked out with our driver, Lautico Fernandez Fernandez. He offered excellent commentary along the way, pointing out where the Camino went when we couldn’t see it from the car, providing highlights of the towns we passed by, and sharing a bit about his family’s background as blacksmiths in the Gradefes area of León.

      When we finally reached Ponferrada, the GPS system wasn’t helpful getting the car to our hotel’s door. Lautico was reluctant to let us walk the final bit despite our assurances that it wasn’t a problem.

      After it became clear that a short walk was in order, he insisted on carrying both of our heavy backpacks up the steep hill—and then refused to accept a tip. “Just call on me the next time you’re in León,” he said.

      Our hotel is very close to the Castillo de los Templarios, so we were looking forward to checking it out after lunch…but it is closed on Mondays. Since we have a short hike to Camponaraya planned tomorrow, we may stop in when the castle opens at 10 a.m.       Czytaj więcej

      Day 25 - Camponaraya

      4 października 2022, Hiszpania ⋅ ☀️ 66 °F

      Before we left Ponferrada today, I spent an hour touring El Castillo de Los Templarios. After walking past so many castle ruins along El Camino, it was a treat to wander around this restored property.

      The Templars occupied the original structure in 1178, and expanded upon it until they were disbanded in 1312. They were tasked with protecting pilgrims on El Camino de Santiago from the Moors, securing an adjacent iron bridge with strategic importance between Galicia and León, as well as serving the Kings of Spain.

      Informational panels around the grounds explain how it has been fought over and changed ownership during subsequent centuries.

      Walking its ramparts, it’s easy to feel transported to times long past.

      After leaving Ponferrada, we ran into Bronwyn, a pilgrim from Australia who we first met at Orisson, and who we’ve since encountered several times along the Way. We chatted for a bit, and then she sped off, as she was hoping to go three times as far as our 10k today.

      We stopped for lunch in Fuentesnuevas, opting for Restaurante La Casona based on its 4 1/2 star Google rating. It was fantastic, and it seemed we were the only pilgrims there.

      We only had another 2 kilometers to walk after lunch, and we were happy to be settled into tonight’s hostal room shortly after 4 p.m.

      Tomorrow’s destination is Trabadelo, 24 kilometers away.       Czytaj więcej
