We were lucky enough to walk the Larapinta in June between the lockdowns.
It was amazing but we can’t compare it with our Camino’s.
It was the hardest walk we have done, 16 days of rocks, hills, boulders, dry river beds, more rocks, zig zagging up and down vertical ridges, more rocks, more...
I’ll add my pics to the Canfrac love fest.
Coming down the hill, past the tunnel, across the line to see it in all its glory is something I will never forget.
I hope someday the money and enthusiasm can be found to restore it.
September the 17th on the Aragones
A very hot day, we left early and got in early to Santa Cilia de Jaca. Waited in the park under a tree with some furry pilgrims until the only Albergue in town opened. The lovely hospitalaro was very upset when the power went out due to a storm. The meal...

A rest day in Jaca on the Aragones to see the sights.
The Monastery of San Juan de la Pena certainly lives up to its reputation. Nestled under a cliff, it is something to be seen. The pics don’t do it justice.
We missed out on the bus, so the tourist office booked a taxi for...
On this day 16/9/2018, day 2 of the Aragones.
A very hot day, but when this pic was taken it was still beautiful.
You may remember this bridge near Canfrac from another thread 🙂🙂
Thank you so much for your posts. I have enjoyed them.
We started in Coimbra on the 11th October in 2019 and loved it.
Am looking forward to see if our virtual paths cross. We also stayed where you did in Sernadelo.
How times have changed, we shared a meal with an older South Korean man and a...
On the this day, the 15th in 2019 we were very excited.
The bus stopped and we wondered why the locals were looking at us. It finally dawned on us that the driver was saying Somport.
Our first day on the Aragones. 😃😃
A pic taken by the friendly Policia, remembering how good a cafe con leche and...
Ha Ha Ha
Being a fellow Melbourian I recognise your view. A very nice place to be.
Your councils panning rules must be much more lenient than ours. I would love a farm like that in my back yard
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We are in the outer suburbs of Melbourne.
The birches will soon change colour. This view was different this time last week. The new owners across the road cut down the big cyprus trees. I hope they replace them with something nice.
Have attached another pic half way through the destruction
I haven’t posted for some time despite lots of walking. This will probably be our last bushwalking club outing for a while as we go into lockdown this week 😷😥😷😥
A fantastic 13km walk near Warburton, Victoria Australia. All at a safe distance apart. A few steepish climbs, beautiful eucalypts...
We have not walked the pilgrimage but spent a few days in New Norcia.
Would highly recommend a visit. It is a little slice of Spain in Western Australia. It’s the only monastic town in Australia. Bishop Salvado started the Monastery in the 1870’s. It has an amazing history of farming and...
We first heard of the Camino from a client In the early 2000’s when she walked. In 2017 my husband listened to an interview about a women who took her disabled sons on it. He said to me, how about we walk the Camino??
Six weeks later we were in SJPP.
Timing is everything. We had closed our...
I’m an Aussie who watches Hollywood movies, but had never heard of The Way when we decided to walk in 2017.
