Today we trekked 14.34 miles to the village of Belorado, population 2,000. It was a pleasant walk with a total elevation gain of about 1,400'. I mention the elevation gain because no part of the Camino is totally level. It's always that beautiful level stretch through the rolling hills, and then the downhill, and then …

Wednesday, June 1, Day 10 on the Camino
Today we made it to Santo Domingo de la Calzada and trekked 14.43 miles. It was a fairly short day, leaving about 7:30 AM and getting there about 1:30 PM. We are staying at one of only two hostels in town. I got into town ahead of most the pilgrims hoping to have the …

Today we trekked about 20.29 miles and reached the village of Nagera, population 8,500. It is on the Rio Yalde and has a picturesque bridge crossing dividing the city. We started trekking around 8:00 AM and I got here about 2:30 PM. The terrain was fairly flat most of the day, with only a few …
Monday, May 30, Day 8 on the Camino
We trekked about 19 miles today from Los Arcos to Logrono. It was a typical walk through the same type of terrain of rolling hills as we have been going through the last few days. Even though it was considered fairly level there were still some steep uphill climbs and a total elevation gain of …

Today we trekked 16.63 miles from Estella to the small village Los Arcos, which has a population of about 1,400 people. We left by 7:30 AM and walked back over the bridge out of town to the Camino. It immediately starts a steep climb out of town and then levels through the surrounding fields and …

Friday, May 27, Day 5 on the Camino
We started the Camino a bit late this morning as we were out late last night and everyone was having a difficult time starting after such a nice stay. There were other pilgrims walking by as we left the apartment. There were many new faces as Pamplona is the starting point of my pilgrims that …
Thursday, May 26, Day 4 on the Camino
Today was another day, or Zero Day, in Pamplona. Our apartment was in such a nice location and very reasonable and not much more than a hostel, especially split four ways. We met a young girl named Sam that was trekking the Camino as a college graduation present and she joined us for the two …
Tuesday, May 24, Day 2 On The Camino
Woke up this morning to the singing of two men walking through our dorm to wake up the pilgrims. I thought it was a rather nice way to wake everyone and get them going as checkout at most hostels are 8:00-8:30 AM. It slept fairly well though I am still suffering from jet lag and …
