    • Day 109

      Grado - Salas

      September 27, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Ein holpriger Start heute, da eine von uns so starke Schmerzen hat, dass sie schweren Herzens entschieden hat, nicht zu laufen. Wir treffen uns aber alle abends wieder. Auch der Rest des Tages ist mäßig. Grauer Himmel, eine sich im Bau befindliche Autobahn nebenan und bleierne Müdigkeit wegen einer fast schlaflosen Nacht. Füße schmerzen, Motivation sinkt. Zum Glück hebt die Herberge in Salas die Laune wieder - ein Privatzimmer für unsere Gruppe und eine Dachterrasse mit schönen Ausblicken. Dazu abends ein reichhaltiges Pilgermenü in einer Bar voll betrunkener Kellner. ;) Insgesamt aber nicht die attraktivsten 22 Kilometer.Read more

    • Day 54

      Alone in a crowd

      June 4, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 13 °C

      Arrived footsore and weary today, amazing how accurate that term is - not knee sore or back sore or cold sore but aching in my feet ( no blisters or hot spot) just a lot of weight for a lot of miles.

      The back up Alberges (the third I tried) was empty when I arrived and I was too tired to walk down stairs so I just hung up clothes to dry and shed my boots and limped down to the supermercado for yogurt and oats, cheese and a roll ( that turned out to be stuffed with chorizo) and tomato and a selection of drinks, and chicken noodles soup. then cooked a yummy late lunch.i was just finishing when a hurricane of Spanish men arrived with way to much energy for having walked nearly 35 km. After thoroughly quizzing me they proceeded to talk at high speed and volume for the next 2.5 hours then left enmasse to ship out drink having made lunch (at 5 pm) I was tempted to leave and try somewhere else I think I've been a bit spoiled by the smaller intimate alberges we have been in to date but I decided to tough it out although I put myself in the other room with a single bunk bed.

    • Day 10

      Singing in the Rain to La Espina

      September 15, 2021 in Spain ⋅ 🌧 17 °C

      My GPS says 33km and 1077 m elevation gain. I believe the kms but not the elevation. I think that’s way too much. Anyway, in spite of the rain, it was really a pretty good day. When I woke up at around six, I saw that it wasn’t raining. So I decided to have a quick cup of coffee in my room (thank you Clare for that wonderful coil) so I could take off a little earlier, rather than wait for breakfast in the hotel. That was a good decision, because I had the first 3 1/2 or four hours with no rain. Lots of ups and downs, lots of pretty green valleys, but lots of fog so it was hard to see. Luckily since this is the fourth time I’ve done this route, I have pretty clear memories of the beautiful countryside. But it would be nice to see it!

      The rain started at about 11, it was very gentle at first but by about noon it started coming down hard. As a good Camino friend has pointed out, once you are totally wet you don’t get any wetter so there’s really not a problem walking once you get soaked through.

      I took a rest in Salas before the last 6 km, knowing that there were some pretty steep ascents. I found a nice looking place with tables under an awning, but unfortunately the café was closed for a weekly rest day. I stayed at the table and ate some stuff out of my pack which is always a good idea since it lightens your weight.

      For anyone who’s walked the Primitivo, you know that a stop at Bodenaya is required. I would have loved to stay there, but because of Covid, I resisted. David is one of those old school hospitaleros, who really believes in the Camino and what it does for people. We had a really nice talk and I was sorry to say goodbye.

      Clothes are washed (whether they will ever dry is another question), I am showered, and I’m heading out to buy some more fruit and nuts for my pack. Looks like the next few days will all have rain, but I long ago stopped worrying or complaining about that!

    • Day 3

      Salas (ca. 50,1km)

      April 2, 2018 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

      Der Tag begann Recht erfreulich: In unserer Herberge (jeder gibt nur das in eine Spendenbox was er will) bekamen wir noch Frühstück bis wir uns dann um kurz nach 07:00 Uhr auf den Weg gemacht haben. Der erste Anstieg verlief völlig problemlos - bis wir nach Conellana kamen.

      Dort deuteten wir die Wegweiser ersteinmal völlig verkehrt und arbeiteten uns einen Hügel hinauf, der ins nirgendwo führte (eine Straße die auf einer Wiese endete.. wirklich.). Also wieder zurück, den richtigen Weg gefunden und den Rest des Tages damit verbracht, nach weiteren Wegweisern zu suchen, die völlig spärlich verteilt waren. Nur ein auf dem Weg befindlicher Getränkeautomat und ein Naturbrunnen, in dem wir unsere Füsse kühlen könnten, wussten die Stimmung etwas zu heben.

      Salas erreichten wir dann deutlich später als geplant und entschieden uns aufgrund der Strapazen für eine private Herberge. Die wiederum hatte kürzlich den Besitzer gewechselt und wird nun von Grund auf renoviert. Für waschen, duschen und schlafen ausreichend, nur bei weitem nicht so üppig ausgestattet wie im Wanderführer beschrieben. Die Heizung hat man dann nach mehrmaligem Nachfragen immerhin doch noch für uns angestellt... Nächstes mal also wieder eine öffentliche Herberge.

    • Day 16

      Brlinner

      July 15, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Breakfast + Lunch + Dinner = Brlinner?, because we haven't eaten anything except a few biscuits and nuts, but we did not expect so much food.
      At this local bar we sat down and he asked if we want food. We did and so he first brought a nice soup. After we finished the soup we got beans in sauce. Another huge portion. After that we did not except more.... But wait. another spanish dish, no idea what it was, but it was really good. After that we got another dish, rice with eggs and tomato sauce. And after that fish..... So much food!! And he keeps on wants give us more food and drinks.... Its never ending!! We should stay here the entire day...
      After finishing the fish we got desert with tea.

      And all this for the price of 10 euro per person!!!

    • Day 16

      Slightly charred

      September 20, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

      Today's KMs - 26.4 kms
      Total KMs - 308.9 kms
      Total blisters - 7 (all popped or healed 😊) + bung ankle (still)

      It was a hot walking day today. One difference between the Camino del Norte and Primitivo seems to be the amount of open walking you do which is great in the morning but is really hot in the afternoon. The Norte had more forest and sheltered walking. So, I'm beyond tanned - I'm slightly charred 🥵... I think I would even say that Simon has tanned legs!

      The walk out of Grado was uphill but everyone from the albergue started early so we were on the road by 7am. Most of the valleys below us was full of fog so it was a bit spooky walking with just our head torches.

      We arrived at Sala by lunch time which was meant to be our final destination so we couldn't resist walking further on to the next large town, La Espina, where we'll stay for the night. More uphill awaits us tomorrow plus it’s forecast to rain 😏 .... on a more positive note though, we are over the 300km mark!
