Day 16 – Belorado to Villafranca Montes de Oca
Another short day for us from Belorado to Villafranca Montes de Oca, just 12 kilometers. It was a very pleasant walk, a little cooler than the previous days. We arrived in Villafranca at about 12:30. We picked a hotel off booking.com called Hotel San...

For Movie Tragics
Having watched the Martin Sheen movie, The Way, at least 20 times, I'm always interested to pass through locations used for the movie. This time we were lucky enough to stay at Hotel Akerreta, which was used for a movie location. And we were lucky to spot a couple of...

Day 19 – Burgos to Hornillos
After a very pleasant day off in Burgos, we set off on a 21 kilometer stretch to Hornillos. After the first few kilometers out of the towns and roads, we got out into some really nice countrysides. Although some of the path led us through a motorway junction which...

Day 20 – Hornillos to Castrojeriz
Camino Waves I've actually been surprised at the number of pilgrims on the path since we started in Saint Jean. I can understand in the beginning you journey with two or three hundred stowing off from Saint Jean per day, and so you'll be in a fairly large group...

Camino Curved Ball
Looks like we might need to cut short. Pat had cortisone treatment just before we left, for Plantar Fasciitis. I think the effect is wearing off. It only lasts a month. She hobbled into Boadilla yesterday and we had to taxi the last 5 kilometers to Fromista...

Day 22 – The Camino Provides
It's funny how things work out. Yesterday Pat was really struggling with her plantar fasciitis, which meant that we had to get a taxi for the last five kilometers into Frómista. Last night we discussed our various options, as it was starting to look like our Camino...
