Day 30 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Villafranca del Bierzo to O’Cebreiro

Day 30 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Villafranca del Bierzo to O’Cebreiro

Day 30 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Villafranca del Bierzo to O’Cebreiro We had an awesome stay in Villa Franca Del Bierzo. Albergue Ave Fenix is maybe the epitome of how an albergue should be. The hospitalero Jesus is the longest serving hospitalero on the camino de santiago. He has a team that works with him there and there is a great sense of camaraderie there between them all. His right hand man looks like the actor Gene Wilder…

Day 28 – Walking the Camino De Santiago – Foncebadon to Ponferrada – Knights Of Templar We had a long walk across the mountain range from Focebadon to Ponferrada on the Camino De Santiago so we set off early that morning.

Day 27 Walking The Camino De Santiago- Astorga to Foncebadon

Day 27 Walking The Camino De Santiago- Astorga to Foncebadón Astorga is a beautiful little city culturally and architecturally. We walked out of it that morning passing the South American guys who were waiting for the cathedral to open so they could have a tour. We had a long way to go this day and a steep climb into the mountains, in uncertain, changeable weather, so we kept walking along the Camino De Santiago De Compostela without any sight seeing…

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…

Day 19 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Castrojeriz to Poblacion

Day 19 Walking The Camino De Santiago – Castrojeriz to Poblacion Wow, what a day this was! The Camino De Santiago really does have a mind of it’s own and I can see it testing us with all sorts of obstacles and challenges. The weather was unbelievable today, literally the biggest shifts in weather patterns that I have ever seen in one day. The Albergue in Castrojeriz was beautiful, it felt like a yoga centre and the hospitalero was a…
