San Martin del Camino --> Astorga
This was the last relatively flat stage of the camino. Albergue Vieira had a buffet breakfast available for 5 EUR, but I opted to wait and eat later on the route. There was both a bar and supermarket open in Hospital de Orbigo when I arrived around 9:30 where...
Mansilla de Las Mulas --> Leon
There was nothing open in Mansilla de Las Mulas when I left around 8 am, so I walked 6 KM to Puente Villarente before finding an open cafe. Just after the bridge, there was a large one open on the left side of the road where most every pilgrim seemed to stop. The...
Carrion de los Condes --> Terradillos de los Templarios
Thanks to everyone for the warning about the 17 KM to the first stop of the day! There was one grocery store open in Carrion de los Condes until 9 pm the night before so I grabbed some food to keep me fueled in the morning. Leaving...
Hornillos del Camino --> Castrojeriz
This was a short, mostly flat day. Nothing was open in town when I left around 8:30 am, so I waited until Hontanas about 10 KM away to find food. There was one cafe/bar open almost immediately upon entering the city. After this, there was no stops until the...
San Juan de Ortega --> Burgos
Today was a bit of a slog. It started nicely with a walk through the forest and some small towns, but the second half was almost exclusively road walking leading into Burgos. I grabbed breakfast at the albergue in San Juan de Ortega, not sure what would be open...
Belorado --> San Juan de Ortega
The route today had much less roadside walking, largely walking through forest, which was very enjoyable minus the occasional drizzle. We were also able to find food on the route at a large albergue in Villafranca de Oca. If you keep following the trail slightly...
Najera --> Santo Domingo de Calzada
Most places in Najera were closed when I left in the morning around 7:45, but fortunately a directly on the route in Azofra about 1.5 hours away was open and had tortilla, cafe, and sandwiches for pilgrims. My torilla, cafe con leche, and muffin cost about...
I just started the Camino Frances from Logrono and will hopefully be making it to Santiago by late November. I'm a first time Peregrina, which may not have been the best decision in COVID, so wanted to share the situation for others planning to start the Camino Frances soon!
Logrono --> Najera...
