Today’s walk was from Atapuerca to Burgos. A walk we haven’t done before so it was all new for us today. A 22km walk for us with cloudy skies at the start. A much better outcome than the weather predictions we received last night from our phone weather apps. It turned into a very pleasant … Read more
Our walk today was from Villafranca to Atapuerca. About 19kms all up and mostly through a service track for a pine and oak forest. It was very cold and there was snow around from yesterday’s snow fall. Thankfully we didn’t need to walk through a snow storm or much rain but the skies were fairly … Read more
A cold start to the day’s walk this morning with snow during the night as the temperatures dropped below zero. The snow was visible on the gardens and parked cars as we walked out of Belorado this morning. Today’s walk was only a short one as we need to break up the walk into 3 … Read more
Today’s walk was challenging. Very cold with temperatures down near 0ºC with constant rain, wind and the occasional hint of snow. It was super cold walking and my hands in the useless gloves were very cold. I had to constantly keep the fingers moving to get the blood to flow. I kept the pace of … Read more
Our walk today was an easy one walking from Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada. Just under 22km with one big hill to climb with the sun shining on our backs. It was a little cool though with the wind blowing as that made the day feel colder. Gloves and beanies were worn all … Read more
Today was a little diversion day. Ron last night decided that he wanted to go and look at some local monasteries just outside of Nájera, 18kms away. It is a secondary pilgrimage route that can be taken but as we only found out about them last night we decided to take a cab out to … Read more
Today’s walk was another short walk of 18kms from Navarrete to Nájera through vineyards for the most part of the day. The sun was out and it was a very pleasant day’s walk. The hotel we stayed in last night was very nice and had been renovated by the hotel owners who were very hospitable. … Read more
Today is a short post as it’s a rest day for Ron and I. We decided rather than staying in one town for a couple of nights with a full rest day in between it would be better for us to have some shorter walking days so that we could keep moving. We found last … Read more
Today’s walk was 28 kms long and the forecast was for both cold and rain. The forecast wasn’t wrong. This morning we left a little earlier so we could get the kilometres in and get to Logroño, our next destination at a reasonable hour. The hotel we stayed in last night had a bar downstairs … Read more
Man alive! We’ve been walking for seven days already. Time flies! Our clothes and gear managed to dry through the night from yesterday’s deluge as we slept. We slept well. Yesterday we’d arrived at around 3pm and both were starving so we decided to eat straight away as the restaurant/diner across the road was closing … Read more
Today was a hard days walk. Rain was forecast for the whole day and it was sprinkling as we left our hotel and set out for the walk. The temperature was also low and the wind was blowing which didn’t help. The morning wasn’t too bad as the rain hadn’t really set in. It was … Read more
Today was a better day than yesterday. Last night Ron and I ventured out of the hotel for a meal to a place recommended by a guy at the front desk. When we got to the restaurant it was a swanky looking joint selling tapas and drinks with a restaurant out the back. We both … Read more
