      Santibáñez to Santa Catalina

      23. mai 2022, Spania ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

      Our albergue last night was one of the best so far. The owner couldn’t have been nicer.

      I shared a taxi with Nicole to Astorga to rest my foot a bit with a shorter day. As we turned the corner into the town, there was Lesley again! We all had a second breakfast and Nicole very kindly restrapped my ankle in a more supportive way.

      Lesley and I visited the Palacio de Gaudi - I don’t think there is anything Gaudi left for me to do now.

      My foot went well with the new strapping but I will see how the next few days go when we get to rockier paths, I will probably need to adjust my plans a bit.

      I walked in to my albergue a few towns on which is my first donativo and it is very different to anywhere else I’ve stayed. It was very bohemian looking and the dormitory was a bit rough. But the communal dinner was great and then a few guests and the host picked up the instruments and we had music and singing. A unique experience!

      Day 26 Astorga Day 27 Rabanal

      7. mai, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

      What a beautiful city Astorga is. So much to see! 25km day. Had a wonderful meal and met new Pilgrims at our albergue that started their journey in Leon. Only their 2nd day, ha amateurs🤣
      Day 28 had us starting out before 7am and it was good to check in at 1pm after only 20 km. A steady ascent through some small towns that I think wouldn't exist without the camino passing through. Tomorrow we are back climbing, now to Cruz de Ferro, an important stop for pilgrims.Les mer

      Von Astorga nach rabanal del camino

      30. mai 2022, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

      Buenas, sooo nun bin ich auch in rabanal del camino angekommen. Ein uriges Pueblo mit historischen Backsteinhäuschen, eine fast 1000 Jahre alte Kirche welche absolut nichts mit den typisch spanischen und prunkvollen Kirchen gemein hat. Dieses ursprüngliche hat ebenfalls seinen Reiz. Gegenüber liegt ein besetztes Benediktinerkloster, wo man ebenfalls übernachten kann. Die Mönche sind sehr hilfsbereit und nett, kümmern sich fürsorglich um Pilger, die Hilfe egal welcher Art benötigen. Fazit des Tages: Man ist auf dem camino niemals alleine.Les mer

      Tag 30 Rabanal de Camino nach El Acebo

      31. mai 2022, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Heute war ein sehr emotionaler Tag .
      Was aber eigentlich normal ist da es heute zum Cruz de Fero ging.
      Aber nicht das davor stehen sondern der erste Anblick von weitem war das besondere.
      Der Weg und die Landschaft haben sich auch wieder verbessert.
      Was allerdings nicht auf die Beschaffenheit zurückgreift.
      Sondern eher darauf das es wieder weg von der Straße ging.
      Die Wege selbst waren heute bestimmt von losem Gestein was zum gehen eher schwierig ist. Ich fühle mich immer noch sehr gut und unheimlich ruhig und ausgeglichen.
      Morgen geht's nach Ponferrada wo ich dann 2 Tage bleibe.

      Cruz de Ferro

      Lieber Michael

      Den Moment schenke ich dir. Heute bin ich dir nahe, habe deine Frau Elwira, deine Mutter Brunhilde und deinen Sohn Maximilian mit hier in Gedanken. Und ich bin mir sicher in unserer vier Namen zu sagen : Du fehlst.

      Du fehlst als Ehemann, als Sohn, als Vater, als Freund, als Ratgeber, als Vorbild mit deiner schier unerschöpflichen positiven Art, es fehlt dein Humor, dein Witz, der Häuslebauer, der Sportler, der Vernünftige, der Quatschkopf, der Ehrliche, der Kumpel, der Treue, den Ehrenamtler, kurz es fehlt jede so wunderbare und liebe Eigenschaft die dich ausmachen. Es fehlt ein Stück Heimat.

      Tausend Fragen gibt es, Sehnsucht nach tausend Antworten. Wir vermissen dich.

      Fast vier Jahre 😢

      Du kannst auf Elwira stolz sein. Sie lebt dein Hinterlassen weiter, kümmert sich darum das du nicht vergessen bist und trägt dich nach wie vor im Herzen und hält dir die Treue.

      Deine Mutter ist stark. Hat sie mit dir schon ihren zweiten Sohn und nicht lange nach dir ihren Mann zu Grabe tragen müssen. Es bricht mir für sie das Herz und dennoch habe ich großen Respekt und Ansehen ihr gegenüber.

      Dein Sohn fängt immer mehr an seinen Weg zu gehen. Er hat Schule und Ausbildung abgeschlossen und hat sein Herz am richtigen Fleck. Er ist ein toller Sohn.

      Heute ist für mich dein Tag. Heute zoll ich dir Respekt und sage dir Danke, heute halte ich dich in Erinnerung ganz Nahe und lass dich leben.

      Michael du bist Unvergessen

      Grüße von mir an Bernd, Waldemar und Stefan

      Ich vermisse dich mein Freund 😔🤗♥️

      Day 18 Astorga - Foncebadon

      14. mai, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 6 °C

      24.6 km (538.2 km from start). 1734 calories. 31.000 steps. 5.6 km/h (according to Apple - around 730.000 steps since day 1)

      Astorga hostel was one I wanted to try. Old, with special atmosphere. Wooden floors and walls - you could hear everything - and everyone in that place. No dinner or breakfast - just old fashioned pilgrim hostel.

      Monday in Astorga was like Sunday anywhere else in Spain - everything was closed. Looked for pizzeria - wanted some junk food. Ended with durum with chicken 😡 - couldn’t find decent restaurant open. Astorga - I don’t need to come back.

      Started day in 870m above sea levels - ended in 1420m. All that in 24 km. Easy day on Camino today. Tomorrow I am getting to Camino’s highest point - 1500m above sea levels - then it will be down the hill. My knees are already complaining 😂

      Staying at another old fashioned pilgrim hostel in Foncebadon - so high in the mountains there is 5G connection, there is both dinner and breakfast, all my clothes is being washed and dried. There is absolutely nothing to complain about 😇

      PS. First picture is me at day 1 on Camino - and day 17. Never had a beard in my life - keeping it or not?

      Santa Catalina de Somoza to Foncebadon

      24. mai 2022, Spania ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      I left early this morning after a sleepless night (not sure is it was the spicy meal or the cask wine or the sheetless and lumpy beds without pillows). And it was freezing! I had shorts on and my long pants were in my bag that was being sent on. I was lucky I had my fleece and rain jacket with me as I needed both, and my buff, as we climbed up the hill.

      I managed the first half well as it was nice and flat but once we got to the very rocky path it was so difficult to watch each step so I didn’t twist my foot.

      It was a relief to finally arrive at my albergue. It is nice and warm in here and after icing my foot and showering I had lunch in the local pizzeria.

      I have decided not to walk tomorrow as the entire way will be steep and rocky and with sheets of shale. I don’t want to risk any injury when I am so close to the end (well about 250kms). So I will get a taxi to Ponferrada and have a rest day.

      Sights, sounds, situations

      14. oktober 2023, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      So, the sights have started to change for real! Today was a beautiful walk as we approached the mountains under skies that cleared over the course of the morning. No roadside walking today - so nice. And the climb was mostly gentle and in the cooler air felt really good.

      Sounds. I’ve been thinking about the sounds of the Camino. Almost every morning as I wake up, somewhere nearby a rooster is crowing. I like that.
      Sleeping in albergues you are surrounded by the sounds of other people. As 10:00 arrives and lights go off it gets quiet, but always there is breathing, snoring, rustling, shuffling. I find it all oddly comfortable and comforting, all that humanity around me. I think this way of sleeping in groups is very old. It reminds me we are primates, social creatures.
      Languages! All the time in cafes and albergues, or along the trail conversations are happening in at least a dozen languages. People find ways to communicate, we laugh a lot, smile, shrug.

      Situations! Every day follows a pattern, so if a situation is challenging one day, you know that, for better or worse you will have many opportunities to try it again ahead of you. It pushes for growth and builds confidence, and resilience.

      Tomorrow morning we climb to the Cruz de ferro, the Iron Cross, where by tradition you leave a stone representing some burden you hope to be relieved of. Something to look forward to. But now, time to curl up amongst my tribe of the day and get some sleep…

      Astorga to Fancebadon

      9. oktober 2023, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      We have well left the Maseta region and are now into the hills.
      After a wonderful night in Astorga and dining out in the Spanish balmy air we had a good night's sleep.(well most of us)
      Up early for an amazing breakfast that the lovely ladies had prepared! To have fresh fruit and cereal is a real treat here. Plus the eggs scrambled was a treat.
      So we set off in the cool morning air and the walk was great with countryside varying with some cattle to see plus bush and trees.
      Amazingly we came across the British chap we met out of Burgos who was carrying the gnome! He is still carrying the gnome.and marching on.
      The day was hot as and we knew we had a steady climb but I must say by the end of 26 km there was no joy in walking! On and on we walked with some shade but mainly slate rocks to walk on
      Somehow we walked
      into Foncebadon ; a dear wee stone village in the middle of nowhere.
      We had a wonderful night celebrating my birthday and I was thinking how lucky am I to have wonderful friends and family with me to celebrate my bday.
      Hopefully a good night sleep before another 26 km walk..

      The Cowboy Bar

      5. august 2022, Spania ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      A Camino staple and legend, the owner is a man of few words but a heart of gold. It has a foosball table, cold beers, and a Spaniard’s idea of what a Texan bar would look like. There’s no way I’d skip this stop.Les mer
