Day 21 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Carrión de los Condes to Moratinos

Day 21 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Carrión de los Condes to Moratinos The Albergue that we stayed in, in Carrion De Los Condes was a convent run by nuns. It was very nice actually and all the nuns came to “tuck us in” before we went to sleep which was both nice and weird at the same time.

Camino De Santiago – Pamplona to Puente La Reina Day 5

More life lessons on the Camino De Santiago De Compostela. Walking from Pamplona to Puente La Reina, is a very interesting and memorable walk. It is a special part of the camino, although can one part be any more special than another, that is one to ponder. This leg of The Camino Frances is a prominent chapter in Paulo Coelho’s book, The Pilgrimage, and if you haven’t read it, it is worth a read. Victoria received a lesson in attachment,…
