Camino del Norte, Santillana del Mar to San Vicente de la Barquera 35.8 km
Another dull and slightly foggy day has dawned. Apart from a short track after leaving Santillana I suspect that the whole of today’s walk will be on the road, although most of it on country lanes through beautiful scenery. Our … Continue reading

The boots dilemma has concluded
…in a very inconclusive way! Having tried on dozens of walking shoes/boots in tens of different shops, ordered six pairs from Amazon and several more from other online outlets, I have now officially given up and admitted defeat. I’ve ruined … Continue reading
It’s been so long…
…so long that I’ve forgotten how to blog! My last post was sent out on 12 March 2020. I’ve occasionally thought about posting in the meantime but haven’t really had very much to say. Fortunately the pandemic hasn’t been too … Continue reading

Stage 32 – O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostella 19.5 km
