Tonight’s Stay - Albergue Verde
29 Nisan 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
My favorite albergue so far ! The hosts were so kind and welcoming ! We were given REAL, freshly washed sheets and a blanket upon arrival, which is a rarity. There’s a beautiful outdoor space with hammocks, picnic tables, friendly dogs, a greenhouse, and yoga studios ! We were offered a yoga class, dinner, and breakfast all in exchange for an anonymous donation/whatever we had (I’ve met a few pilgrims who are surviving on donations).Okumaya devam et

Nita Schwarz Gorgeous!! Amazing! I want to go and stay there. Is this the big Knights of Templar town where they have a huge festival every summer with jousting etc?

This is a very cool albergue! Arthuro the owner and his wife actually live here and all the paintings on the wall are done by pilgrims
if anything they encourage anybody who can paint to paint 👍😁
I was offered the same but of course I can't paint...Okumaya devam et

So I went out to take a look around the town a little bit didn't cross to the other side of that bridge; it does look pretty cool ... very old bridge in any case Arturo told me to go to eat in Los Angeles restaurant which I will do so shortly but meanwhile he said go to the owner and tell him that Arturo sent you and go ask to see the grandfather house which is almost like a museum now ....which is what I did 😁
quite fascinating stuff 👍

As far as the town goes this is some quite cool little place
I wish I had a chance to explore some more
I am including a link to Wikipedia and apparently this little place saw a lot throughout the history

We passed through 3 nice villages built around the Orbigo river. The villages are small and close together, and very well developed, with nice cafes, modern houses, etc. I imagine it must be a holiday destination, not just a place for pilgrims.Okumaya devam et

Hospital de Orbigo
20 Temmuz 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☀️ 90 °F
We trekked 20 miles today- cooler weather, feet are little achy, good time to put them up and blog. A little background about Orbigo: in 1432 a woman snubbed a knight. In order for him to be released from his prison of love and restore his honor, he had to joust and break 300 lances, near the Orbigo bridge. He succeed in his task, his honor restored, (get over it, already), and the old Roman bridge still stands, today. Signs seen along the way, since the beginning of the Camino: Castilla is crossed off many signs, signifying Leon's desire for autonomy; cute gender neutral shower/ bathroom signs; art in the park; two who met their demise in the Pamplona, Running of the Bulls; an invitation to my quilting sisters; good rules for any household; mural outside of a school; outside pooping area instructions for humans, you dog owners know the drill 😂; Socrates was right- the second bar WAS better😁; Just check out the name of the second bar!; Isn't it a shame that the free parking is perpetually Full? Oh wait, Full is the name of the hardware store!; An example of how the Basque language is so different from Spanish. I'll SIGN off for now. Love to you all!Okumaya devam et

Gezgin Our next quilt hop! Great pictures makes an interesting collage. Hope you sampled your favorite bar. Are you tasting the different paellas along the way? It’ll be interesting to hear of the differences of the foods in each region. Taste on as you trek, you’re all doing fantastic! Tell Cyndee I’m cheering her on too

León to Hospital de Órbigo
26 Nisan, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 55 °F
328 miles done. 172 to go. 66%!

Woke up and hit the road. I noticed that Spain treats Thursday nights like the start of the weekend and everything is closed on Fridays until late morning. Even cafes. So I started on my way at 8:00 am and walked for 3 hours before I found an open cafe. Had a quick coffee and then walked another 3.5 hours to my destination, Hospital de Órbigo. The walk itself wasn’t scenic… it was mostly along the side of highways and through industrial areas on the outskirts of Leon.

Hadn’t eaten breakfast or lunch, so I grabbed a burger at a little bar nearby the hotel after walking in mid-afternoon which sufficed for both lunch and dinner. I still have yet to have a good burger here in Spain.

The Comic Sans font is used EVERYWHERE in Spain. On municipal signage, on menus, on billboards and other advertisements… really. It’s maddening! The only place this font should be used is in daycare centers as a cheerful font for 4 or 5 year olds who are learning to read. That’s it. Stepping down off soapbox now…

Had a zoom meeting this evening with others who I will be walking with on the Portuguese Camino in October. I’m looking forward to seeing how that landscape differs from the Camino Frances.

Rain, rain, and more rain forecast for tomorrow. Looks like it’ll be a wet day!Okumaya devam et

Day 14 - First rainy hike, Astorga
13 Ekim 2023, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F
We were excited to bring out our rain gear. First time in over two weeks in Spain. We covered up our bags, bodies and kept trucking on.

We completed 24km/15 miles and got into Astorga with enough time to visit the Gaudi Palace, Astorga cathedral and the Camino museum. Julie was serenaded by a local artist after steep climb into the city.

In Astorga we have an apartment in town right by the square. It’s a cute place and we were pleased to see they had laundry machine and a rack to dry our clothes.

We just finished dinner 8:45 pm and we would rather be asleep, but once again nothing is open until 8pm. We continue to be underwhelmed by the every day fare in Spain. It’s not what we were expecting. Things would be so much better if Joan would have studied a little harder in school for her three years of Spanish.

We have past countless chocolate shops and this town seems to be famous for their chocolate. So one quick stop for chocolate, and then we are off to bed.

We have another 20+ km/per day for the next few days as we climb back into the mountains. Weather will be cloudy, rainy and cool. Joan sure is wishing she did not leave her “puffy coat” in Pamplona.

Buen Camino!Okumaya devam et

We have left the flat plains behind us. The roads were very long and the focus on this part of the journey was more mind over matter. Now we head back into more arid and mountainous terrain. We now have traveled over 300 Miles.Okumaya devam et

San Martin del Camino to Astorga
Day 25 - 24 km

What a fabulous days walk! The first few kms were beside the highway, but before long we were back on our beautiful trail 👣 which led us up and down, through lovely towns, and spoit us with the views again! One of the highlights ( apart from the views) was the lovely offerings of free food and sustainance to the pilgrims , we were especially grateful when we had just finished a long 7km haul, uphill and in the hot sun, these lovely people were happy to provide a beautiful resting spot, and a feast of amazing food, all the while someone was playing the guitar in the background 😍 bliss...( donations accepted 😉)
Astorga is a beautiful town, the Cathedral spectacular and the building beside designed by Gaudi is very impressive. Great atmosphere here and many restaurants and shops to explore ( If we had the energy...) We are staying in a nice unit just off the square tonight, so decided to have a nice meal in, and a wine 🍷 🍷perfect. 😉Okumaya devam et

On the trail of Don Quixote
17 Ekim 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Don Quixote is a 16th century Spanish Literary classic about a would be knight and his side kick Sancha. Hospital de Orbigo (which is a town, not a hospital) is the sort of town the mythical Quixote may have travelled to attend a jousting tournament. The jousting fields have been in use next to the long cobblestone bridge for centuries and tournaments are still held here in 2022.

Legend has it Don Suero de Quiñones and nine other knights, his friends, defended the Hospital de Órbigo bridge for a month against any knight who wanted to cross it. The bridge witnessed up to 700 combats in which knights from all corners of the Peninsula, Germany, France or Portugal participated. The chronicles speak of a single deceased, a Catalan knight who received a spear to the eye. This was all a display put on for a king to win the hand of a woman and so the tradition of a jousting tournament here was born.

The whole fairy tale was exactly that, with no written evidence of the event until at least 150 years later. Cervantes then immortalised the tales by referring to it in Don Quixote.

Tonight I find myself in the cutest of accommodation with a comfy rocking chair and a nice hot shower, after a stroll through the rain this morning.

"he who's down one day can be up the next, unless he really wants to stay in bed, that is..." Don QuixoteOkumaya devam et
