Top pilgrim tip: The Clara

17/07/2015

When people think back on the culinary joys of the Camino, they tend to think of chorizo, manchego cheese, pulpo, bocadillos, cerveza, vino tinto … but I have a very special favourite: The Clara. Sometimes called Clara con Limón, sometimes ready mixed with its own tap in bars. So what is it? A Clara is, … More Top pilgrim tip: The Clara

Highlights from the last day of our #slowstroll as we walked into Pamplona and celebrated our achievement with a well deserved tapas crawl! No walk is ever long enough but we had a great time together and I am sure I will see some of my ladies again one day #buencamino #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 #nidarosawalking Highlights from the penultimate day of our #slowstroll from St Jean Pied-de-Port to vibrant Pamplona... with a sneak peek and late lunch at legendary Hemingway favourite Café Iruña and a face to face with the man himself (brass version) #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 Highlights from another lovely #slowstroll along the winding trails and down to Zubiri without the infamous 'Dragon's Teeth' rock ridges, which were smoothed down last year #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 Highlights from the third day of our #slowstroll - after the Pyrenees comes the 'Spanish flat' landscape, with the trail meandering along rivers, across stepping stones and bridges and through little villages #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 Highlights from the longest day of our #slowstroll over the incredible Pyrenees hills, across the border into Spain and down to the old monastery and pilgrim safe haven of Roncesvalles - hot and tired but completely in awe of the beauty of the green hills we had the privilege to walk through! #challengeaccepted #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 Highlights from the day we started out from St Jean Pied de Port on our #slowstroll over the green hills to the vibrant city of Pamplona. It was hot, it was steep in places, but it was beautiful and so, so worth the effort #challengeaccepted #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 Highlights from the day we met up in St Jean Pied de Port to start our #slowstroll over the green hills to the vibrant city of Pamplona. New faces, same excitement as we sat down to our first meal together. #challengeaccepted #caminoconfidence #caminodesantiago2026 Took the twisty-turny bus journey to St Jean Pied-de-Port and arrived in the gorgeous medieval French town at the foot of the Pyrenees, with time to rest and explore #pilgrimlife #caminodesantiago2026 #caminoconfidence #slowstroll #nidarosawalking Glorious camino morning, started from Zuriain to find the river route back into Pamplona, found bird boxes with words painted under them, made a friend when looking for more words on birdboxes, visited the ancient church in Zabaldika and had my new friend ring Navarra's oldest bell for my oldest friend, decided against the river route, arrived back in my pod in Albergue Ibarrola and was then promptly laid out with a 24 hr bug. All part of #pilgrimlife #caminodesantiago2026 #caminoconfidence #slowstroll #nidarosawalking
