Burgos – Fromista 60km on bike. Today I have hired a bike for three days to do the Mesata. The Mesata is a 180km trail that is mainly on flat exposed land. Almost desert like. As I cannot be exposed to the sun for too long due to my medications, the cycling will only takeContinue reading “Fromista”

Atapuerco – Burgos 20km I didn’t get to post this yesterday as I fell asleep after a hectic day. The group I had been walking with are all going their separate ways after today. Kieron and Lisanne are going home, myself and Dora are hiring bikes though Dora is staying an extra day in BurgosContinue reading “Burgos”

Espinosa Del Camino – Atapuerca 24km A lovely trail walk today between these two beautiful little towns. We are staying tonight at a lovely little albergue called Hostel La Puezela Verde.

Grañon – Espinosa 24km Today was a long boring day. We met at 8am and all the cafes were closed so no breakfast. We walked through three more towns and still no food or coffee. GET UP YOU LAZY SPANIARDS! We all need our daily cafe con leche! We come into a small town calledContinue reading “Espinosa Del Camino”

Azofra – Grañon 22km After a great sleep in the municipal albergue in Azofra, we met at the bar for breakfast – a chocolate filled pastry and a cafe con leche (milky coffee).

Logroño – Azofra – 35km I got out of Logroño early today about 7:30 as I knew I had a 29km walk to Najéra. It was quite hot early in the morning so had to slap on the factor 50 and wear my fleece for sun protection. I got to Navarette within two hours andContinue reading “Azofra”

This was a bit of a frustrating day for me. I seemed to be the only peregrino about. Checked out of the room at 11 after a dandy oul breakfast which included brown bread and butter. Theres wayyy too much white bread in this place. I took a walk around town to find a razorContinue reading “Logroño – Okm – Rest”

Estella – Torres Del Rio – 30km Absolutely cracking day. Sun, blue skies, free wine and amazing trails. First stop was 2km out of Estella, the famous Bodega Irache which provides 100 litres of free red wine every day but Sunday. Of course I had to indulge with a little cupful. The rest of theContinue reading “Torres Del Rio”

Puenta la Reina – Estella 23km Back on the wagon today again with a 22km walk with an extra 1km to the hostel. An absolute stinker of a day in pouring rain and muddy paths. Despite all the rain, muck and feeling like a soggy teabag, my spirit was kept alive by my two weeContinue reading “Estella”
