    The Abbey

    You've disparaged our good name, questioned our integrity and insulted all that we're trying to do - do you think your personal circumstances gives you carte blanch to wield your poison pen Anemone? That said, may your fathers final Camino be a peaceful one. Our thoughts are with you.

    The Abbey

    I'm afraid I didn't make it past reading the first few lines of your tome… it's obvious you have a lot of time on your hands. If you know where the place is, I cannot understand why you keep labouring the point? An argumentative nature perhaps? A spiky persona? Our postal code, our property's...

    The Abbey

    What I'm not sure about is why when the villages of Ilarratz and Eskirotz are so clearly marked on all maps that relate to the Camino Frances and are mentioned in all of our postings - our Facebook page, the Camino Forum and on all of our photographs, we still need to be having this discussion...

    The Abbey

    It's interesting to see how many people that visit our Facebook page fail to read the 'about' section - which is if you'll pardon me saying is the most obvious place to look for information? And, if you had taken the time to look through our photographs it's also pretty obvious that it's a...

    Hi Michelle. All the snow was gone that same afternoon. The weather is definitely getting warmer and the days longer. Temperatures are set to rise. I wish you Buen Camino!

  9. Four seasons in a day.

    Four seasons in a day.

    Just as fast as this pilgrim from Lithuania flashed by the Abbey on Saturday morning, so too did the weather improve. By late Saturday afternoon the sun was out and there wasn't a trace of snow to be seen.

    Thats very kind of you and you will be most welcome. If you let us know when you're coming you can perhaps stay with us in our home in Pamplona. (the abbey isn't habitable at present)
  16. The Abbey

    The Abbey

    Anyone would be forgiven for missing the abbey as they walked down the road from Llarratz - the property was badly overgrown and desperately neglected. An old local tells us he hasn't seen the back field from the road for more than thirty years! After months of really hard work thats now...

    Thank you. You would be most welcome. If you'd like to follow our progress I suggest following our Facebook page. I try and post updates there everyday. (even if it is just about the weather) The page gives a lot of insight into what we've overcome thus far. I've posted old maps, photographs and...

    The Abbey

    Thank you. It is beautiful but we have to admit that there have been days whilst slogging away in the snow and the mud in minus five degrees that we've asked ourselves if we've made the right decision? Decades of neglect and five years of abandonment and vandalism have really taken their toll...

    The Abbey

    Hi there. If you use Google maps and type in the either Ilarratz or Eskirotz you'll see The Abbey situated on the Camino. (NA2336) between the two villages. It's official name is The Abbey of Eskirotz and Ilarratz. (but in Spanish of course)

    Unfortunately Gofundme automatically allocate a location based on ones home address.. Our post clearly says the church buildings are currently not habitable… hence the fund raising.
