Stage 8 – Coca to Alcazarén, 26 km
Last evening I bought a bottle of cava and a big bag of crisps for sharing, then spotted a box of eggs and thought it would be a good idea to have boiled eggs for tomorrow’s walk. But when I … Continue reading
Stage 7 – Santa Maria la Real de Nieva to Coca, 23.4 km
Despite the bunk beds in last night’s accommodation being more like hammocks with deeply sagging springs and mattresses, we all had a good night’s sleep in the tiny albergue and weren’t in any rush to leave as we had a … Continue reading

Here I go again…
I woke early this morning to take my last shower in the luxury of my own home and was wallowing in the delight of piping hot spray when it started to cool down and I had to rush to wash … Continue reading
A pre-camino adventure…
I’ve been on a bit of a jaunt! We packed the dog off to be cared for by friends and left a mound of food for the cat, and off we went! We drove west, and our first stop after … Continue reading
