Stage 28 – Castroverde to Lugo, 22 km
On how quickly things change! When I looked out of the window this morning I could see a perfect crescent of moon and a lone twinkling star in the dark sky. In the clear sky. It was the first time … Continue reading

Stage 27 – Fonsagrada to Castroverde, 35 km
It was a cold, misty, dark morning. I was up and ready to leave early because this was going to be a long day. I walked out at 06:20, my earliest start to date. It had been raining a few … Continue reading
Stage 26 – Castro to A Fonsagrada, 21.1 km
Well, that was short and sweet! I worked out my stages for this camino a couple of months ago now and I am sure I applied good sense and logic, but I can’t remember what any of it was now. … Continue reading

Stage 25 – Berducedo to Castro, 27.1 km
Yesterday afternoon some locals seemed to take delight in telling us that there would be storms today, and their prophecy of doom was supported by the weather forecast. It was indeed raining when we left this morning, but not heavily, … Continue reading

Stage 23 – Bodenaya to Campiello, 25.9 km
Last evening the albergue in Bodenaya lived up to its glowing reputation. There were many pilgrims resident that I had met over the last couple of days and the atmosphere was jolly. Hospitalero David was kindness personified and provided everything … Continue reading
Stage 22 – San Juan de Villapañada to Bodenaya, 27.7 km
I left nice and early this morning – there was not much of a sunrise due to the cloud, but it was warm enough to leave my jacket in my pack. After some time on very quiet country roads, the … Continue reading
Stage 21 – Oviedo to San Juan de Villapañada, 31.7 km
The walk out of Oviedo wasn’t too long or at all industrial and along the way we bumped into Dave who we hadn’t seen since around day 4. If you want breakfast, don’t leave it too late when exiting the … Continue reading

Stage 20 – Pola de Lena to Oviedo, 35 km
Another dry start to the day. The walking was on the road or the first 8 km, once out of Pola de Lena the road was quiet, but what traffic there was whizzed by at speed. The worst offenders seem … Continue reading
Stage 19 – Pajares to Pola de Lena, 28 km
The day dawned a little rainy and overcast and with gusty wind. We are due to descend over 1,000 metres on this stage and I reasoned that downhill walking required great care but little exertion, and so I wouldn’t be … Continue reading
Stage 17 – Cabanillas to Buiza, 25.5 km
The day started on very pretty tracks and almost immediately our hearts were melted by a floppy, lollopy, huge-footed mastin pup who had somehow managed to escape from his enclosure with mum and dad making half-hearted attempts to reprimand either … Continue reading
Stage 16 – Puente Villarente to Cabanillas, 32.5 km
A jolly communal supper was given at the albergue last evening. We were several nationalities around the table – Brits, South African, Australian, American, Belgian and German. Three courses, 10 euros. Nothing special but ok and filling. After dinner was … Continue reading
Stage 15 – El Burgo Ranero to Puente Villarente, 25.8
Twenty pilgrims, two toilets – not a good ratio! I rose early for a brief visit before too many people were moving around and then waited until most had done their business before I attended to mine. Timing is everything! … Continue reading
Stage 14 – Grajal de Campos to El Burgo Ranero, 23.7 km
I stayed up late as the music commenced to bounce around the walls. It was an ideal opportunity to catch up on responding to comments. I don’t often get time to do this, as by the time I have posted … Continue reading
Stage 13 – Villalón de Campos to Grajal de Campos, 30.9 km
Friday is the day that we have been told all week that it will rain. But Friday dawned bright and warm. Within an hour of walking I had stripped to sleeveless T-shirt and shorts, and immediately afterwards a brisk cooling … Continue reading
Stage 12 – Medina de Rioseco to Villalón de Campos, 29.4 km
May I just say that the clever nuns at the Convento Clarisas have designed the albergue bathroom facilities to perfection. We don’t want state of the art facilities that can only be used by one person at a time. What … Continue reading
