I walked past this rock on our pathway. Someone had left this thoughtful message. Your vision will only become clear when you can look into your heart. Those who look outside their heart dream. Those who look inside will be awakened

25k here is tough & here is why
I know 25k isn’t to be sneered at, but honestly, at home I would consider it just to be a good training walk. Walking 25k here is much harder than at home and here is the reason: We are walking mostly on Roman roads that are over 2000 years old. These roads are usually either […]

Day 18 Terradillos de los Templarios to Hermanillos de la Calzada
What a day it’s been today. Walking alone and I accidentally left the guide book with Nadine who wasn’t feeling well. I wasn’t really too concerned, as the pathways are fairly clearly marked. Most of the time! The main reason for any concern I had was that we had made a reservation in a private […]

Day 13 Burgos to Hornillos del Camino
We left Burgos at 5am with no time pressures as we had booked a private albergue at Hornillos de Camino, our overnight stop. As is usual in the big cities, it was a little bit tricky to find the way out as the way markers were very limited. Today’s walk was probably the easiest so […]
