O Pedrouzo to Santiago de Compostela 19.5 km Although the albergue was quite comfortable some of the residents robbed me of a good night’s sleep. An elderly French couple  competed with eachother to see who could make the most disturbance … Continue reading →

A Ribadiso de Baixo to O Pedrouso, 23 km We leave shortly before 07:30 and it is rather gloomy and rather cold. The sun isn’t due to rise for another half hour and there’s thick fog which makes it feel … Continue reading →

A Leboreira to Ribadiso de Baixo, 29.5 km We didn’t explore the hamlet of A Leboreira yesterday evening due to being tired, but it wouldn’t have taken long if we had. There are fewer than a dozen buildings and a … Continue reading →

Lugo to A Leboreira 30 km Mikey jumps out of bed the minute I wake him this morning which is something of a record. It wasn’t a very peaceful night – there was much coming and going to the loos, … Continue reading →

Castro to A Fonsagrada 20.6 km And then bus for two stages to Lugo  I don’t seem to have made many notes today – I’ll put it down to all the huffing and puffing it took to walk up the … Continue reading →

Berducedo to Castro, 26 km Firstly, many thanks for all the lovely comments. I really do appreciate them. Immediately on leaving the albergue this morning we have a steep track that has me puffing like a steam train. I can … Continue reading →

Borres to Berducedo 25.6 km The albergue in Borres really isn’t geared towards an efficient departure – there being just a tiny lobby outside the dormitory where several pilgrims had claimed the space to pack their goods whilst the rest … Continue reading →

Tineo to Borres, 15.8 km I manage to get Mikey up and out for 07:30 – something of a miracle (but we did get an extra hour due to the clocks going back during the night) and it was just … Continue reading →

La Espina to Tineo 12.5 km We have a very late start this morning. Our roommates who are walking much further than us don’t even stir until after eight. And we don’t need an early start as once again we’re … Continue reading →

Cornellana to La Espina, 20 km It rained a good deal in the night but it’s clear by the time we set off. I’m fervently hoping that we don’t get any tail-end effects from storm Austen which is battering the south … Continue reading →

Grado to Cornellana, 11 km The albergue in Grado is run by volunteers and Javier was absolutely charming. It closes at the end of October and reopens in March. There is one dormitory for 16 pilgrims, adequate bathroom facilities, comfortable … Continue reading →

Oviedo to Grado, 25 km The 6 1/2 hour coach journey sadly didn’t bring me any slumber at all although Mikey managed a few hours. We’ve been walking for something around an hour before we leave the city in drizzle … Continue reading →

I’m not sure if I’ll blog as normal on this camino but will give a brief outline of our plans here and see what happens.  My grandson Mikey was keen to walk another camino with me. We have about twelve … Continue reading →
