    11Not a great albergue.2Does this road have an end?1Brooootal

    Puente Duero To Penaflor de Hornija

    19 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ☀️ 15 °C

    .An early start this morning led us onto more farm track into a meseta like landscape for 24 kilometres. At least there were 3 towns with cafe bars to break up the day and to top up our waters.

    The sun was very strong this afternoon, and necessitated a smothering of sunscreen.

    The final approach to town was extra broooootal, as there was a final long uphill stretch to get into town.

    Our group of 5 consisting of Paul (Australia), Petya (Bulgarian), Marie (France), Gerard (Ireland), and myself are now resting in a great albergue. Tomorrow another 24 kilometres.    Leer más

    Alcazarén To Puente Duero

    18 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C

    How much more pine forest and farm track can I take!

    We broke into the 400’s today!!

    It was an early start to a 24 km day. With only one town as a rest stop in between. Paul has recovered from his over indulgence the other day, and we all made good time. Well except for one small deviation that I made when only a few kilometres from our destination. I was ahead, and the trail seemed to head off into the hills. After not seeing an arrow for a while, I arrived at the top of a hill overlooking a valley. A little further on, the trail ended at a farmers field. So, it was back up the hill and back to the spot in question. I phoned Petya on whatsapp, and she told me to follow the path parallel to the road. When the truth later came out, it seems that Petya had CHEATED by using her phone GPS. Anyway we all arrived at a nice little albergue run by a very interesting man named Yurgen from Germany.

    Also with us, is Marie from Lourdes France. Marie is 72, and has done 2 Camino’s per year for the last 20 YEARS!!!

    There was no where to eat in this town, so we all got some food at the local tiende, and conjured up a great meal. I was chastised by Marie, for putting butter on my bread! Simply not done in France!

    Time for bed!    Leer más

    Villeguillo To Alcazarén

    17 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    Another day of pine forest paths. The day after having a feast put on by the local bar owner last night, Paul was having a hard day walking, suffering from last nights feast. Most of us are not too hungry today.

    Having a bit of a rest at our new albergue tonight. Tomorrow a 24 km day.

    Rob Lassche, there are a few pics of listings that you have to move fast on!    Leer más

    Nava de la Asunción To Villeguillo

    16 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    A vary nice walk today thru pine forest again. Our first stop was the city of Coca, which had a very nice castle. The castle was built by Moors on the orders of Bishop Alonso de Fonseca who had been given permission to build by Juan II.

    Our final destination, is the village of Villeguillo. Here is a tiny bar, run by the famous keekay. When we arrived, he asked what we wanted for supper, we all said fish. At 7:00 we went there, and he brought out a fish dinner that would feed 10! There was also a huge salad that we could not finish. It all was huge but marvellous. We were also joined tonight by Gerard from Ireland.

    Tomorrow 18 Kms to Alcazarén.    Leer más

    This Is No Bull!

    Santa María la Real de Nieva To Nava de la Asunción

    The promised rain of the last 2 days held off again for us. Walking was easy in a cloudy cool day. We walked thru a lot of pine forest. In certain areas, all the trees were tapped for their sap. I could not resist dipping my finger in and just trying a taste. It tasted like turpentine! The large round bull fighting arena made out of stone was also expressive.

    It was our lucky day entering Nava at just the right time. Part of the Camino route thru town was barricaded off and the town was starting some type of festival. Just starting, was their running of the bulls festival. It was a great laugh. Have a look!    Leer más

    Zamarramala To Santa María la Real

    14 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    It was a long hot 30 km day. Walked thru 4 small agricultural towns, that had nothing except maybe a fountain. Came across a flock of sheep, and also thought that the pine trees being tapped for sap was interesting. Meeting up with us tonight, is Petya Ninova from Bulgaria. She wants to walk for 1 week with us. We first met Petra on the Via de la Plata.Leer más

    Segovia to Zamarramala

    13 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ 🌙 12 °C

    Just a short walk to Zamarramala today. It was the only way to split up the next 2 days without having to walk over 30 Klm’s. Segovia now in the distance. Just a few old churches on the way, and also a very interesting museum of old puppets! They were very intricate. The public albergue here is very nice.Leer más

    Cercedilla to Segovia - Broooodal!

    11 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

    Cercedilla to Segovia

    Today was a long hard day. The first part was a long upward climb on an old Roman road over the mountain pass between Cercedilla and Segovia. The large rocks were a real problem to navigate. Climbing further to the summit, the temperature dropped drastically. Was near freezing at the top. This was followed by a nice descent thru a pine forest, but the last 15 Klms were thru a long and boring dry grazing fields. Left Cercedilla at 7:15 this morning, and staggered into Segovia at around 4:30.Leer más

    Manzanares el Real To Cercedilla

    10 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    We started early today,. The first stage was 7 Kim’s to a village named Mataelpino. Here we stopped for a break. Most of the morning was on cowpath, with the imposing mountains on our right. It was another 7 Kim’s to a town called Navacerrada. Here we met a couple of other pilgrims, a Canadian and an Irishman. We stopped and had a coffee with them. Getting out of town was broooodle! It was a steady climb out of town. We finished off walking thru nice pine forest into Cercedilla.Leer más

    7 de septiembre de 2019, España ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    First day on the trail out of Madrid. Being a Saturday, the streets where very busy. A pilgrim from New Zealand was also starting out today and was glad to join us. The first couple of days are always tough. It was very dry, but luckily it was cool in the morning and only reached 29 in the afternoon. Made it to our first stop. The city of Tres Cantos. (The city of three songs). Have a look at the pics. TerryLeer más
