Day 17, Calzadilla de Los Hermanillos to Puente Villarente, 32 km
Last night our host kept us entertained with his antics, and he spoke to Rosie and Mikey when I was skyping them, much to their bemusement. We had a good dinner with lots of choice and again asked for my … Continue reading
Day 16, San Nicolás del Real Camino to Calzadilla de Los Hermanillos, 20 km
Last night supper was served in front of the roaring fire and we asked for our left over chicken to be made into sandwiches for breakfast. It was a lovely warm evening with very friendly hosts in a particularly nice … Continue reading
My old Dad
Having told you about my Mum, in the interest of gender equality I think I should tell you a little about my old Dad. He was a quiet man – “anything for an easy life” sort of chap. To be … Continue reading
Day 15, 30 April 2013, Carrión de Los Condes to San Nicolás del Real Camino, 31 km
The day started pretty much as forecast. Rain. Not too hard, but persistent. We left Carrión knowing we would not pass another village for 17 km and expecting to buy something for breakfast during our route out of the town. … Continue reading
Day 14, Fromista to Carrión de Los Condes, 21 km
Firstly I would like to thank everyone once again for posting comments. I take great delight in reading them, although I don’t always reply directly due to lack of on-line time. Yesterday we stayed in a private albergue, very well … Continue reading
Day 13, 28 April 2013, Castrojeriz to Fromista, 25.5 km
It was cold during the night. I eventually put the extra blanket provided over my sleeping bag, which I had been avoiding because I was using it to prop my legs so that I could lie on my back and … Continue reading
Day 12, 27 April 2013, Tardajos to Castrojeriz, 30.5 km
Not a good night’s sleep. It wasn’t cold in the room at all, in fact it was too hot. Consequently I was tossing and turning all night and adjusting my sleeping bag. Sleeping bags rustle when you move so I … Continue reading
Day 11, 26 April 2013, Atapuerca to Tardajos, 30 km
As promised it was raining when we left this morning, not hard and not actually for very long. It wasn’t cold but there was no way that the sun was likely to fight its way through the grey sky. The … Continue reading
Day 10, 25 April 2013, Espinosa del Camino to Atapuerca, 21.5 km
Breakfast served by Pepe turned out to be a drink of your choice and packaged fairy cake, so we set off for the next village, Villafranca Montes de Oca, about 3.5 km away and found a cafe for a proper … Continue reading
Day 9, 24 April 2013, Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Espinosa del Camino, 32 km
There are strict instructions in this albergue that no one is to get up before 6:30 am. However I want some peace in the loo so creep out of the dormitory at just about 6:00am and am confronted by a … Continue reading
Day 8, 23 April 2013, Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada, 21 km
Just like buses – you wait for one for hours, and then three come at once! This is the first time we have had wifi for three days …….here’s one I prepared earlier….. I was first up this morning at … Continue reading
Day 7, 22 April 2013, Logroño to Nájera 28 km
My alarm woke me this morning. It’s the first time this has happened on the camino and is indicative of the excellent night’s sleep I have had. Normally I am awake long before getting up time, but happily not this … Continue reading
Day 6, 21 April 2013, Los Arcos to Logroño, 29.5 km
It was cold last night. Freezing. I couldn’t get warm even when I zipped my sleeping bag tight around my head. As a result I didn’t sleep well, although the room was very quiet. When we all got up, Peter … Continue reading
Day 5, 20 April 2013, Estella to Los Arcos, 21 km
Despite sleeping in a ‘donativo’ albergue last night with 13 others in the room, I had the best night’s sleep on the camino so far. We were off at 7am and it was very chilly. We crossed the river and … Continue reading
Day 4, 19 April 2013, Uterga to Estella, 30 km
Despite the luxury of a private room for the night I had very little sleep and was tossing and turning most of the night, probably due to a wine or two too many at dinner. It was also extremely windy … Continue reading
