    Leon - a rest day

    Oh, and a few days later, just past Astorga, is a small brewery in Castrillo de los Polvazares that makes some excellent herbed and spiced beers from local gardens.

    Leon - a rest day

    Don’t forget about the Four Lions Brewery just around the street from the Cathedral. After miles and miles of fizzy, yellow, albeit refreshing, golden lager, Four Lions brews up a whole menu of excellent craft beers. From rich, toasty brown ale, to IPAs and all in between. They also have a full...

    Rest days on the Camino Frances?

    I took a rest day in Leon and regretted it. I walked 10km around the city anyway. Saw everything at least twice. And lost my posse, never to catch up with them again.

    Advice: should we attempt SJPP to Roncesvalles?

    No doubt that SJPP to Roncesvalles is a tough day. I’ve done it twice. Once with family in tow, and once on my own. Both times, very “doable,” The beauty of the path is breathtaking, with the fog and clouds in the valley as you ascend in the morning. And the mountain meadows echoing the cowbells...

    Riding a horse up to O Cebreiro

    Brierley's guide doesn't have the country code. You could assume the +34. But who would rely on information from a guidebook?

    Orisson or onwards to Roncesvalles

    If you can get a bed at Orisson, sleep late in SJPP, have a leisurely breakfast, shop around a bit (get a sache of herbs in the herb shop for your meals across Spain) get your lunch to go and arrive in Orisson in the afternoon. In 2017 I left SJPP at 0530 and arrived at Orisson at 0900. In 2015...

    Training

    For me the weight is irrelevant. Carry what you NEED. That will be the weight of your pack. On day two or three you may redefine "need." There are "give and take" bins in the albergues for folks who want to shed something, or who are looking for something. I weigh 175 on the Camino and I carry...

    Walking the CF for the Second Time?

    Be prepared for your second time to be a completely different experience. My second CF I had a different level of preparedness, a different pace, a different outlook, a different posse. I landed at different stopping points. Picked a couple favorites to repeat. Reminisced at some memorable...
