After the storm…
We were amazed this morning to see that snow had settled on the mountains above the village and that it was falling steadily. Our planned departure is via a bus that’s due to arrive just after 10:00. Lucky for us … Continue reading

Camino de San Salvador, stage 3, Poladura de la Tercia to Pajares
Wow! What a difference a day makes! As wonderful as was yesterday, today is a totally different story. The forecast is for fog, rain, snow, high wind, and zero temperature. And for once it was correct! Only early yesterday it … Continue reading

Camino de San Salvador, stage 2, La Robla to Poladura de La Tercia
We leave town walking on very quiet road between the Rio Bernesga and the rail line. The river is raging and completely swollen after all the rain. We see a few more animals since swapping to the San Salvador. A … Continue reading

Camino de San Salvador, stage 1, León to La Robla, 28.4 km
Decisions, decisions What to do? The original plan was to walk from León on the camino San Salvador which crosses the Cantabrian mountains close to the Picos de Europa, and ends in Oviedo. I’ve already taken this route in 2017, … Continue reading

Burgos to León
Oh what a day! It started well enough – a splash of light rain, a walk by the river, chocolate y churros, some sunshine and a bench in a square overlooking the cathedral out of the wind. So far, … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, stage 15
Covarrubias to Modúbar de la Emparedada The first 6km into Mecerreyes is on a very quiet road. There are several bars here but none is open at 8:30 on a Saturday. After Mecerreyes we are on track all the way … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, stage 14
Santo Domingo de Silos to Covarrubias, 16.6 km After our jaunt to the gorge this morning we set off on today’s stage rather belatedly at 10:30 with a cold wind, a grey sky and a long way to go without … Continue reading
A ‘gorgeous’ side trip
Yesterday we had considered taking a diversion into Santo Domingo in order to visit an impressive gorge. But due to the poor weather forecast we didn’t really want to prologue our stage. So we hatched another plan to visit the … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, stage 13
Quintanarraya to Santo Domingo de Silos, 26 km Not many signs leaving town so I would say it really is essential to have a track downloaded. I use Maps.me to follow a trail and Wikiloc to record. 7 km into … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, stage 12
San Esteban de Gormaz to Quentanarraya We climbed up to the castle wall yesterday afternoon. There are lots of cave houses up there and great views over the town and surrounding countryside. This morning is foggy and cold – the … Continue reading

The plan that keeps on changing
So…more discussions were held after our arrival into Sigüenza yesterday… Accommodation has become a bit of an issue on this camino. The next stage after Sigüenza is a long one – 30+ km into Atienza with much elevation gain and … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, stage 7
Mandayona to Sigüenza, 22.7 km Our taxi arrives at 07:00 and takes 15 minutes to transport us 16 km back to Mandayona. Let’s see how long it takes us to make the return trip. We have left a lot of … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, stage 6
Cifuentes to Mandayona, 27.5 km Can I ask that when you receive a blog update via email you tap the option to ‘Read on blog’ to see the blog as it’s is intended. (As pointed out to me by Nina … Continue reading
La Lana from Cuenca, day 5
We leave a bit later than usual at 7:30 but not late enough for any bars or shops to be open though and so we’re walking on empty tanks. After exiting via the staircase alongside the waterfall, we find ourselves … Continue reading
