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
In September last year my Scouse Spouse left St Jean for his own solo camino. He got as far as Estella where he had an accident and ended up in hospital with a fractured pelvis and a badly broken upper arm and damaged shoulder. I immediately jumped the first flight to Madrid, then got a … More CF Day 0 – Estella revisited
The last day into Santiago is eucalyptus, tarmac, suburbs, airport, surprisingly green and pretty considering how close you are to a big city, and long. There were few others about, and again the walk was easy, familiar. The last-day-gloom crept up on us somewhere just before the camping bar, so we decided to sit down … More March ’18 Camino Day 8: O Pedrouzo-Santiago!

Then we got into our ponchos and went on our way. We stopped for a short … More March ’18 Camino Day 6: Melide-Arzua
When we got downstairs in the morning, it turns out they had laid a table for us and were standing by with croissants, coffee and juice, and with our yogurt and rolled oats it made for a hearty and healthy start to the day. Once again the sun was out, so we loaded up our … More March ’18 Camino Day 5: Palas de Rei-Melide
After a lovely breakfast in the Maestro, with coffee and juice, jamon and cheese, cake and fruit (ie banana for later), we headed out into the now rather sunny and warm morning. We are not the early-bird type; nine o’clock is a good time to start. Crossing the small bridge we went straight into the … More March ’18 Camino Day 4: Portomarin-Lestedo
