      Von ledigos nach sahagun

      24 maggio 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Hola Amigos y Amigas. Die Etsppe von ledigos nach sahagun ( ca16 km) ist geschafft und das erfreuliche daran war, dass ich keinerlei Probleme mehr mit meinem Schienbein hatte. Die nächsten Etappen werde ich ebenfalls ohne Rucksack und nur mit dem nötigsten, was man benötigt laufen. Der Weg durch die weitläufige Meseta, war für mich heute sehr angenehm und landschaftlich schön. Der Wind war schon sehr frisch und man ist erstaunt wie schnell sich die Temperaturen hier ändern können. Waren es vor ein paar Tagen 》30° , so waren es heute ca 23-18°C. Das erfreulichste war natürlich, dass ich ohne Schmerzen laufen konnte. Erkenntnis des Tages: Auch langsam kommt man ans Ziel. Achja, heute habe ich mir die Halbzeipilgerurkunde in Śahagun abgeholt.Leggi altro

      Tag 24 von Sahagún El Burgo de Ranero

      25 maggio 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Der Tag heute war erst richtig Kalt mit 5 Grad. Wurde aber noch richtig warm. Sonst gab es heute eigentlich nichts besonderes. Das Dorf heute ist wirklich sehr klein. Was wirklich toll ist das jeden Tag etwas besonderes passiert. Heute war es ein Priester der auf mich zukam und mich segnete und mir ein Gebet das er auch noch unterschrieb mir gab . Das sind so die Momente. Morgen geht's weiter.Leggi altro

      Another spectacular walk - to Sahagun

      6 maggio, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      We are debating whether this is the best walk so far, but I think the ones with panoramas from high places rate well too! But we have certainly had a wonderful day - 22 kms - 5° and misty when we set off at 8am, and by about 10.30 mist burnt off and it was sunny and perfect for the rest of the day, temperature rose to a comfortable 16° and I shed a fleece layer for the first time I think!

      Today’s meseta was undulating all the way and so beautiful with the green fields and wildflowers. Rachel and I identified wheat and barley with some difficulty, the crops look similar, but slightly different greens, and already they have the stems of grain visible, all with variations, and I’m always curious to know which is what. And to my delight I recognised a field as we approach Sahagun where twice before we have seen a man harvesting sunflowers. It is now ploughed and with furrows ready to be sown, so it confirms my theory that the fields everywhere which aren’t waving with grain crops are waiting and ready to be planted with sunflowers.

      We also passed, and paused, at the little Ermita about a km before entering Sahagun where we were immortalised by the Google map truck in 2013! It was such a beautiful day, unlike yesterday’s wind and threatening rain, that we took it easy and stopped for refreshments several times, often meeting people we have got to know who stay in the same places…some Americans, Canadians mostly…you get quite festive and it is fun. A couple of women have had bedbug bites which makes me nervous…I haven’t thought about them and all our places seem so good, but of course the best places can get them…so here’s hoping my luck continues!

      And we have been so fortunate with the weather - last night it rained soon after we arrived and during the night there was quite a storm, but all gone by morning, except some puddles and muddy patches now and then. We arrived here about 3. This town is the centre of a huge grain area, and when you first see a vista of the town you see an enormous silo towering over everything else, rather than the usual church tower and steeple. So we celebrated with an arrival beer - so sunny and bright that Amr and Rich sported Hawaiian shirts!

      Day 20, Day 21 and Day 22

      30 aprile, Spagna ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

      The video is from yesterday in Carrion. The bell that went wild and wouldn't stop ringing🤣🤣🤣

      Day 24. El Burgo Romero

      22 maggio 2023, Spagna ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

      Today was a transfer day, where I started at a hotel, walked the designated distance -18 km - then got driven back to the same hotel I started from. Tomorrow morning, a taxi will return me to the place I reached yesterday, where I will continue on. There are few places with accommodations between here and Leon, the next big urban centre.
      Today‘s journey was largely flat, nondescript; the biggest feature were the groves of poplar trees along the way.
      I met Philippe , from Montreal, who did find the passport he had left behind at the auberge. Philippe is getting run down from carrying a backpack weighing close to 30 lbs. Mine weighs about 10 lbs. He suffers from sleep apnea, so carries a 10-lb portable device to deal with it. He has decided to ship the device ahead to the auberges he has booked before he gets there. Also, I found out that the German girl who lost her mother last year, will be continuing. Tomorrow, she plans to take a taxi to Leon, where she had planned on spending two rest days, then continue on to Santiago.
      Many people with injuries, and on a flexible schedule, slow their pace, while others on more definite schedules walk as far as they can, filling in the gaps with taxi rides.
      I picked up my Halfway Certificate in Sahagun when I returned this afternoon.
      I do meet many pilgrims older than I am, some considerably older - if that’s possible - journeying by themselves, with backpacks weighing 20 lbs or so. They all walk at a slow pace, that invites a deepening of the experience. I enjoy my chats with them as they convey a sense of peace and purpose.
      I am looking forward to connecting with Cathy in two days. What has, up to now been My Camino, will become Our Camino.

      Half Way Point

      31 luglio 2022, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

      This is not 100% accurate, and obviously I am walking further so it only applies to pilgrims ending in Santiago de Compostela, but it’s a moment nevertheless, passing the half way point of the Camino Frances.Leggi altro

      Woah, we're halfway there! 🎶

      9 agosto 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

      Today we passed through Sahagún, the middle of the Camino. I'm not sure how this is calculated, because I thought we started the second half already, but never mind.
      Now I am officially on the second half, with certificate to prove it.Leggi altro

      19 Cazadilla – Sahagún

      18 agosto 2022, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Heute bin ich wieder früher los.
      Gestern Abend habe ich noch ein extra zusammengestelltes vegetarisches Pilgermenu bekommen: Ensalada ohne Atún, Linsen – puro vegetal mit Tortilla und Flan als Postres. Mhm. Die Bestellung wurde mit so einem digitalen Teil aufgenommen, in das die Frau spanisch hinein sprach und in deutsch kam es wieder raus – faszinierend.
      In der Frühe war es kalt. Es dämmerte schon bald und dann zeigte sich die Sonne und ein strahlend blauer Himmel. Mittlerweile bin ich eingelaufen – also nicht an Größe, sondern das Laufen läuft fast wie von selbst. Die meiste Zeit – das heißt eigentlich immer – trage ich Sandalen. Die Wanderschuhe sind mir zu eng und zu schwer. Vielleicht werden sie mir in den Bergen noch nützlich sein. Auch der Rucksack drückt nicht mehr und ich entdecke noch immer Schnallen und Riemen, an die ich zurren kann und er sitzt noch besser.
      Der Weg war aufgelockerter, es gab wieder Orte unterwegs, es wurde hügeliger und rechts und links hinter den Stoppelfeldern grüßten die Wälder. Der Himmel war noch genauso hoch und weit wie die vergangenen Tage. Mir ist wieder ein Lied eingefallen:
      Blau ist der Himmel, weiße Wolken ziehen dahin,
      und der Sommer leuchtet so helle.
      Und die Seele breitet Schwingen aus,
      fliegt dahin durch weite Sommerräume.
      Das passt so gut.
      Unterwegs gab es noch Terradillos (wieder eine Verniedlichung unter weitem Himmel: kleines Stückchen Land) de los Templarios, eine alte Templerstadt, von der aber nichts mehr zu sehen war, außer einer verschlossenen Kirche.
      Kurz vor Sahagún gab es eine Eremitage zu bestaunen Ermita de la Virgen del Puente, die Jungfrau an der Brücke, eine kleine Ziegelsteinkapelle, die romanische und arabische Stilelemente vereint. Die Skulptur der Jungfrau ist von einer Bildhauerin im 17. Jahrhundert geschaffen: Louisa Roldán und heißt nur kurz La Roldana.
      Sahagún, das war fast wie mit dem Scheinriesen, Herrn Turtur in Die Wilde Dreizehn – nur umgekehrt – je näher ich kam, desto weiter entfernte es sich.
      Heute habe ich die Hälfte der Strecke zwischen Roncesvalles – meinem Startort – und Santiago de Compostela geschafft. Dafür gibt es eine Urkunde: die Carta Peregrina. Die gehe ich mir jetzt abholen.
      Und nun habe ich sie: die Carta Peregrina. Ich habe nun 385 km gelaufen in drei Wochen an 19 Tagen. Noch einmal soviel und ich bin in Santiago.
      Sahagún ist eine lebendige Stadt. Man spürt noch überall den arabischen Einfluss und das tut gut. Der Name der Stadt rührt von einem Märtyrer San Fancun her. Im Spanischen gab es eine Lautverschiebung von F nach H, so entstand Sahagún – obwohl man das H im Spanischen nicht ausspricht – vielleicht sagt man dann Sa‘agún?

      Day 21

      13 settembre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Well… dinner last night was good.. it’s all relevant.. at home it would be disappointing.. but I’m not at home!!!!
      Set off usual time.. breakfast was spent with, the German lady, who’s name I can’t remember, and a Spanish couple I meet regularly who’s name’s I don’t know, communicating somehow on what the weather was going to do.. heavy rain, thunder and lightning had been forecast…. Set off with it being too warm for a coat etc., but having everything to hand in a hurry if necessary… every hour I thought.. that’s one hour less walking in the rain!!
      Amazingly… me .. who never seems to know where I’m going, stopped to help two different lots of people on which way the route went.. thank you Camino Ninja!!
      A few hours into it.. and an hour of scary loud thunder later it absolutely hammered down.. not so bad if it hadn’t also started blowing a gale ( no idea where that came from!! ) it was soo cold and wet.. I passed Rocky about 3k before the finish, who commented on my fast legs..we both agreed it was a good day to have fast legs, buen Camino ‘d and off I went… mmm upon reaching today’s destination, I couldn’t find my accommodation.. 25 minutes of wandering around later, I bump into Rocky, who decided to find my accommodation for me before his own.. absolute star ⭐️.. it did turn out we were next door, but hey, he didn’t know that when he set out!
      Hot shower etc etc later, I pop downstairs for a beer!!! Meet up with various people and we all end up together having a couple of beers… Rocky pops his head through the window and invites me to join him, his Sioux Indian friend and Bianca for a kind of odd numbers version of scrabble.. absolutely fab afternoon.. bring on a re run tomorrow!!
      Tonight brought a coming together of about 12 of us…individuals.. ( me , Norbert, the German lady) couples .. 3 American, 1 Canadian .. who all regularly stay at the same place.. pulling tables together and all joining up for dinner… a fabulous evening and one I will always remember when I look back on my Camino… ❤️

    • Ledigos to Sahagún

      5 ottobre 2022, Spagna ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Ledigos is a small rural town with no shops and only two albergues to accommodate and feed pilgrims. Albergue El Palomar run by father and son, Jesus, was a typical family-owned albergue with dormitory bunks, a few simple private rooms, a garden area for pilgrims to hang out in, pilgrim dinner and breakfast and the village bar.

      I think we were the last guests to leave this morning, and in a taxi to Sahagún, 16km away, to find some medical care for John's problems yesterday. Praise for the care and advice provided by Dr and staff at the medical centre in Sahagún. OK to continue.

      Accommodation is very tight along this part of the Camino so we have two nights in Sahagún while walking the next two stages using taxi to return to lodging and the following stage. Found a great bar, Casa Simón for lunch providing creative and delicious Spanish dishes. We shared a plate of roast leeks with dried jamon and Pedro Ximénez sauce and could easily be tempted to return there for dinner. In any case Kevin is going to try to replicate that dish at home.

      Later: we did return to Casa Simón for dinner. Siobhan and Sean are Irish hiking friends from Cork we had met a couple of times along the Way. We ran into them out front of the restaurant and had a very enjoyable night.
