Portomarin to Santiago
The final leg… An early start sees us head back to Portamirin from the Hotel for the start of the final leg. What adventures will we have today? I head for the meeting point at Melide on the roads that appear to be designed more like a race track. I don’t go fast as I …

O’Cebreiro to Portomarin
As we wake the clouds have not lifted so this is going to be a grim start. We’re 1350 metres up, it’s raining, as it does inside clouds, and it’s cold, down to 3 degrees. The lads begin the first part of the descent to Triacestalla. They stick together and head down… I arrive in …

Rabanal to O’Cebreiro
An eventful day… This is the big one. The one lads have been priming up for. A steady climb up from Rabanal to the Cruz de Ferro, the highest point on the Camino route at 1505 meters, then a rapid decent down to Molinaseca at 610 meters before a big climb again to O’Cebreiro at …

Rabanal to O’Cebreio
Another quick morning post before the off. Andy has left us now to return home after I dropped him at Leon Airport. We’ve picked up another couple of needy pilgrims and I have to take them in the van to Ponfrerrada on route to the first meet up point at Molaseca. Not sure about net …

Damsels In Distress
The adventure continues… After I dropped the lads back at the start point for today’s section it’s straight to Rabanal for me. The lads kindly decided that after all the ferrying about I’d done I could have a day off and just go straight to the next hotel. They could always ring me if they …

Leon to Rabanal
Just a quick post this morning as we now realize that our hotel is further on the route and the lads need to be taken back to where I picked them up last night. The Camino route MUST be completed in full so, it’s back to the van ferry situation again (see yesterdays’ post.) Oh …

Carrion to Leon
An uneventful day and the weather is good at last. For the lads this is another long trek but it’s mainly on the flat. And I do mean flat. These must be the plains of Spain. It’s like Holland at this point but with high snow capped mountains in the distance as I head to …

Burgos to Carrion
Burgos is a large city with a massive town centre and we’re right in the middle of it so a lively night is in prospect except after the day the lads had all we wanted was food. But it was Friday and the whole place was shut down. What with siestas and fiestas and Fridays …

Santo Domingo To Burgos
After another good night in Santo Domingo was followed by a great breakfast in the Parador Santo Domingo which was a very classy hotel. All the lads agreed it was wasted on us. They would rather be here with their other halves. Honest! The lads set off in good spirits as the weather looks to …
