A Gudina to Laza (22.27 miles / 35.86 k) Today started out nicely and was pleasant throughout most of the day. The end of the day was about a three mile steep downhill that was challenging for me as my knee was bothering me on the downhills. I had washed my clothes room last night …

Lubian to A Gudina (15 miles / 24.10 k) Today was one of the shortest days I have had on the Plata. I retrospect, I might have started a hour earlier even though it was dark as I took the road and the way was clearly visible on the Google Maps program and I wouldn't …

Puebla de Sanabria to Lubian (22.20 miles / 36 k) Today was a hard day to get started because the hotel was one of the most comfortable I have stayed in since on the Plata. I stepped outside and it was cold and misting, and the thought of soaking in the hot tub another day …

Santa Marta de Tera to Mombuey (20.64 miles / 33.23 k) Today was an uneventful day but I did go over twenty miles. I started out of town this morning at my usual 8:00 AM. I had looked at both the Camino app and Goggle Maps program and noted that road N-620 ran fairly parallel …

Tabara to Santa Marta de Tera (20.00 miles / 32.20 k) Today was going to be a great day as I was still excited about my day yesterday and now I also had another tool to find my way on the Camino. It was also going to be a short day of only about 13 …

Montamarta to Tabara (17.01 miles / 27.40 k) This morning I was all set to have my short 13.5 mile day to Granja de Morerulea and possibly get some well needed rest. I was getting ready to leave when Mikio, the Japanese pilgrim, told me his guide book showed two different ways to go from …

Villanueva de Campean to Montamarta (24.47 miles / 39.40 k) Today was a long day, again not really my first choice. I left my usual time of around eight and immediately started the Camino out the front door of the alberque. It's was 40 degrees in the morning and stayed fairly cool until about noon. …

Calzada de Valdunciel to Villanueva de Campean (20.86 miles) Today I was a little out of sorts because I didn't have any breakfast food or food for a snack until I got to the first town El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino, about 14 miles away. The only store in town was closed on …

Morille to Calzada de Valdunciel (23.06 miles) Today was a different and tough day as I again went further than I had wanted to go. I left this morning at 7:45 AM and it was still dark and cold at about 46 degrees. I think the temperature has started to change both because it is …

Fuenterroble de Salvatierra to Morille (22.62 miles) Today was a long day as I wanted to get as close as I could to Salamanca so I can pass through it easily tomorrow and stay in a smaller town on the other side. Salamanca is suppose to be a very nice town but I prefer the …
