    LIVE from the Camino Slow Camino de Madrid

    I’m in Segovia today seeing the sights, however I’ve had a situation come up back home so I will need to return to the States. At least I got the toughest part (I presume) of the Camino de Madrid completed. I’ll plan to pick up from here at another time. Buen Camino.

    LIVE from the Camino Slow Camino de Madrid

    I was in Manzanares last night and stayed at the Hostel La Pedrisa. Nice place with a good bar and a private terrace for guests with a great view of the mountains. €25 I believe and I roomed with another pilgrim from Quebec. Ray & Rosa are walking the Primitivo so their place was not available.

    RETHINK walking the Frances

    Often I would just walk into a bar and ask "Tienes una habitation para una persona por esta noche" and discover that they did in fact have rooms available, not listed anywhere. It made life a whole lot easier.

    Descent into Molinaseca

    I must admit that it was an exhilarating descent, but very doable even on a rainy day, Molinaseca was quite a welcome sight however.

    How do you manage to overcome your language learning laziness?

    Olly Richards and Story Learning has worked well for me. Lots of information from him and also for free on YouTube.
