    Rethinking my CF-ish route after Burgos (and I start in 7 days!)

    We love the meseta. Try not to skip San Bol. We too walked from Pamplona. I would save one day by taking a bus into Burgos instead of walking into it. Too much pavement walking. If the meseta gets too much for you around Mansilla de Las Mulas (who knows could be the heat) you could do one more...

    Eight weeks on the Camino

    If you start in St JPdP you will have enough time to take a rest day every week or to explore the bigger towns on the Camino Frances eg Pamplona, Logrono, Burgos etc etc by spending 2 days in each. You will also have enough time to spend a few days in Santiago and possibly a week in...

    Blanket clarity

    Early May: better to take a light sleeping bag if you want to be warm enough at night. Even if there are blankets available I'm not sure if I would want to use them. I took a sea to summit silk liner early June and was a bit cold at night during the first week or two but I slept in my long...

    Liner versus sleeping bag

    For the first two weeks of June I would suggest a very light down sleeping bag, about 450g. A liner may not keep you warm enough in Galicia during that time. Otherwise a silk liner and a long-sleeved T-shirt and leggings. Happy planning! Buen camino!

    Observations on the Meseta, September 2019

    Thanks for this post. We love the meseta too. The camino is a great place for a retreat. A place for reflection and gaining new perspectives. Walking, thinking, praying. May you enjoy the next phase of your life. And if it includes retirement may it be blessed with peace and good health.

    Reading book worth carrying?

    Robinson Crusoe or a similar classic adventure, a small new testament with psalms and proverbs, and a lightweight journal.

    Hello Jess Perhaps in Rabanal del Camino? You could stay at the albergue of the Confraternity if St James of London, Gaucelmo,and they would be able to advise you further.

    Souvenirs from Santiago

    I bought a silver camino shell ring which I love. Also a camino drawstring bag and a few fridge magnets to remind me of this amazing experience. Best of all though were the people I met. Most on first name terms only with no contact details shared. But never to be forgotten.

    Cleaning cruz de ferro

    Its a lovely tradition. I carried my small stone symbolizing the burden I was laying down and went down on my knees as I placed it at this cross. I said a prayer voicing my intention to be freed and unburdened of this specific challenge which only I had known about. It made my journey feel more...

    Meseta Burgos to Leon 6th July 2018

    Wonderful. We walked from Burgos in July and loved every minute. If you want peace and quiet try to stop at the "healing waters" of San Bol past Tardajos. Buen Camino!

    The Meseta.

    Try not to skip San Bol Bernie!
