Well, I´ve made it as far as Villalcazar de Sirga today, about 28km from where I stayed (with Christina) last night, a town called Itero de la Vega.

Stayed the night yesterday in the village of Agés, a charming little place. I had opted for their pilgrim menu AND buffet breakfast… both were somewhat of a disappointment… such is life on the Camino… you can´t win them all. … [Read more]

From Granon to Villa Franca de Montes de Oca (27.8 km)

Rest day in Granon
I have decided to spend another day at the church in Granon to give my feet a chance to heal. It feels really strange being left behind this morning. I say good-bye to Pauline who has finished her Camino for this year and is off to Madrid to visit a friend.… [Read more]

From Navarrete to Najara (16.2 km)
I wake up feeling so refreshed after the best sleep so far on the Camino. I slept solidly until 7:00 am and now I lounge in bed for another half an hour, not quite ready to give up the luxury of this bed and this room. … [Read more]
