I started my training walks last fall in preparation for the camino frances this year. This included walking in the mall in bad winter weather (ugh!). My husband was undecided about joining me or not, due to significant foot problems. After...
We finished our Camino in 21 days, totalling a 280 km walk.
On the last days I wasn't able to upload the pictures, but here's the third and final video about our Camino :)
Just got my new backpack.

It really is an outstandingly beautiful Camino. I’m writing this as I’m currently laying outside in the grass in front of the equally beautiful Diamondi Albergue. I could happily stay here for weeks and not miss a thing!
Day 7: Pobra de Brollon - Monforte de Lemos
Today was meant to be an easy stroll to Monforte - 12km, straightforward and flat walk, nothing to get your heartbeat up. Or so we thought. Just after the peregrino sello station in Rairos loud barking...
