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…

Compostela Pilgrimage – Santo Domingo Day 12

Our compostela pilgrimage continues on from Najera to Santo Domingo today. Although there were times when it was close to ending, we are now roughly a third of the way to Santiago de compostela.

We are finding the weather to be getting colder and colder each…
