Camino De Santiago – Walking From Burgos – Day 17

Camino De Santiago – Walking From Burgos – Day 17

Walking the Camino De Santiago from Burgos and into the back and beyond! Today we left Burgos on foot heading for Hornillos del Camino. The weather on the camino De Santiago had really brightened up from the previous day. We bought some ponchos so we could brave the stormy weather that was expected up ahead. Having these ponchos gave me more faith that we would be able to complete the camino. Victoria’s poncho covered Indigo and he still had room…

Day 20 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Población to Carrión de los Condes

Day 20 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Población to Carrión de los Condes

Day 20 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Población to Carrión de los Condes What can I say, some days on the camino De Santiago are boring. Today was the straightest most boring walk along the side of a road for 18km. We also had a strong constant head wind all day as well. We didn’t pass through any towns or villages along the way, other than one deserted village. It is times like this when it is best to…

Setting off from Granon this morning on El Camino De Santiago, we walked straight into a cold head wind, which disturbed Victoria enough for her to turn around and walk back towards Granon. The wind can be very mentally tough and it takes some reframing and state management to be able to manage it. Fortunately Victoria was able to make a little shift in her perception and she turned around again and started walking into the wind again with a…

Santiago Trail – Resting in Granon – Day 14

Santiago Trail – Resting in Granon – Day 14

We were forced to take a rest day today in Granon by the Santiago Trail. There were very strong icy winds and knowing that we would be walking up about 200 metres elevation were it would have been even colder, I made the command decision to stay in the nice warm cosy albergue. Nicole was our beautiful hospitalera from Austria, and she allowed us to stay an extra day, as the normal rule is that you can only stay in…
