Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Nine
October 12 – 14, Ponferrada to Sarria Rolling Out of Ponferrada The 5 euro Breakfast at the albergue that morning was well worth the money, with an all you could eat buffet of toast, pastry, yoghurt, and coffee. We’d need it for what would eventually turn out to be a long and hard, well let’s […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Eight
October 9 – 12, Sahagun to Ponferrada Breakfast at Viatoris the morning we left Sahagun was a delight with coffee, juice, a small wrapped pastry to take with us and the closer, thinly sliced Serrano ham on toast. Tanks full, we mounted up and took off for another day of riding through the Meseta, or […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Six

Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Five

September 28 – October 1, Puente La Reina to Logrono The River Arga We left Puente La Reina on a cool morning that warmed up fast, our good luck with weather holding steady, another great day for hiking with moderate temperatures and blue skies. On the way out of town we’d stopped briefly to take […]
Europe 2017 – The Camino de Santiago – Part Three
September 27 – 28, Pamplona to Puente La Reina Forgotten Photo of our Entrance to Zubiri We’d originally planned to just hike 8 miles or so each day the first week to get ourselves into shape. That plan flew out the window our first couple of days as we followed our primary guide book, Hiking […]
Europe 2014 – Burgos and Leon or the Hit and Run Cathedral Tour
Our plan for the next two days would be to stay in a hotel each night in Burgos and Leon. Outside of their respective cathedrals, neither town had much more to see and for a bit more than the cost of camping, we could take in the sights, make time, and gain a day […]
