A different start to our camino morning – going to the bus station to find the local bus back to Azofra to carry on from where the intrepid Scouse Spouse left off the day before. As it was, we couldn’t find it, or it had left or not yet arrived, at least nobody waiting for … More CF Day 6 – Nájera to Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Other pilgrims were having problems prebooking beds and rooms there because of … More CF Day 3 – Viana to Logroño
We had decided to start as early as possible on Day 2, after the shock of how hot it got in the afternoon. Still, I refuse to walk in the dark – that way madness and injured ankles lie – so we ended up setting a permanent alarm on our Fitbits for 08.00 every morning. … More CF Day 2 – Los Arcos to Viana
Leaving Estella on a warm, sunny morning felt like stepping into a fairy tale. We met and talked to pilgrims from the beginning, and several of them commented how sweet it was to see people walking hand in hand. It’s just how we are; it’s what we do. Luckily we walk at the same speed … More CF Day 1 – Estella to Los Arcos
