Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 30 – San Pedro de Rozados to Salamanca 24.5 km
I updated yeaterday’s entry, so if you want to know how the day went please go back and take a look. Today started very fresh but a lot less cold than yesterday and I had soon warmed up with a … Continue reading
Camino Mozárabe (Via de la Plata) – day 29 – Fuenterroble to San Pedro de Rozados 29 km
Yesterday evening there were more than twenty for dinner. I enjoyed the company of an English speaking woman for a change – an American couple who are walking a little and taxi-ing a lot. There was an Austrian guy who … Continue reading
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
