Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 28 – Calzada de Béjar to Fuenterroble 22.1 km
Last night’s communal dinner was good and cost 9€. Vegetable soup to start. Then came some bowls of salad and a plate of grilled pork loin. My first thought was that the meat was a bit mean to go around … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 27 – Aldeanueva del Camino to Calzada de Béjar 22.7 km
Last night’s meal was spectacular value at Casa Sebas. I still haven’t learned, and ordered a menu del dia. There was a choice of five or six dishes for each course. I ordered seafood soup, roast chicken (which arrived with … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 26 – Carcaboso to Aldeanueva del Camino 40 km
I have to say the cava went down very well yesterday afternoon. The hostel filled up with three spanish cyclists, the group of three French – two women and one man, French Olivier, Spanish Santos (that is now two very … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 25 – Galisteo to Carcaboso 12.9 km
I was expecting to find a charming pueblo inside the castellated walls of Galisteo, but the only thing that charmed me was this little fellow. I had been planning another fair hike today but because of the holiday weekend I … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 24 – Cañaveral to Galisteo 33.7km
Today’s walk was another of two halves – or more accurately two thirds and a third. The first part was glorious, just how I like it, walking through meadows, not alongside or between them. Lots of flowers and trees (and … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 23 – Casar de Cáceres to Cañaveral 38.5 km
There were ultimately no disasters relating to the top bunk – I took a chair from the dining room and once standing on this was able perch my bum on the bed and swing my legs up. Most ladylike! However … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 22 – Valdesalor to Casar de Cáceres 25.9 km
I eventually found a shop in the strange little town of Valdesalor, but only because a fellow pilgrim walked me to it. I had previously walked straight past it as there was no indication whatsoever that there was anything but … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 21 – Alcuéscar to Valdesalor 25.9 km
Well, the tour was interesting, if a little depressing. I didn’t understand everything that was said, but the gist was that this organisation started by P Leocadio Galán Barrena (see first photo), who died in the 1990‘s, runs five homes … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 20 – Aljucén to Alcuéscar 20.2 km
Last evening I returned to the bar for some supper and joined two charming guys from Birmingham, and discoverd one of them was a member of the pilgrim forum I belong to, going by the byline of @musicman. I really … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 19 – Mérida to Aljucén 17 km
My first night on top of a bunk bed was spent (for the first/most part) most uncomfortably. Feet that have walked a long distance ache and throb, and possibly/probably have blisters. My feet complied with the norm. Lying on my … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 18 – Medellín to Mérida 45 km
(yesterday, Saturday 25 April) As we left our lovely accommodation this morning we spied a couple of pilgrims across the road – an Italian couple who had stayed in the sports hall last night. We chatted in spanish for a … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 17 – Campanario to Medellín 39.5 km
Having discoverd that the sheets on the bed I had chosen to sleep in last night did not look as though they had been washed since the last inhabitant, I was none too comfortable when I tried the alternative bed, … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 16 – Castuera to Campanario 21 km
Well, I hope the mayor of Castuera gets re-elected next month (if indeed there are local elections as in Andalucia). The town has a real ‘cared for’ look about it and they certainly ‘cared for’ we pilgrims exceptionally well. Today … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe – day 15 – Monterrubio de la Serena to Castuero 20.5 km
Today started as yesterday finished – walking along the road, but for even further this time – almost 15 km. It was a very quiet road with no shoulder, but very few cars passed us and it was not at … Continue reading
day 14 – Hinojosa del Duque to Monterrubio de la Serena 33.7
I was up and ready early today and into the bar on the square to buy some food for our journey, as there were no shops open in the town and no villages en route to buy supplies. Unfortunately there … Continue reading
