    Stages and photos Merida to Santiago de Compostela in 20 days

    Sandals ftw. The legs are warm when walking, no need to overdress. I did some blogging (first 15 days) and updated Instagram in the evening and some posts here now and then. But only when I felt I had the energy and time for it. No stress no requirement. Had network problem and a phone that...

    Stages and photos Merida to Santiago de Compostela in 20 days

    I just love the walking, putting one foot in front of the other again and again and again and stop for some food, photos and sleep now and then. I never find it hard to walk and most of the time I don't even feel the weight of the backpack. On this camino I have done the following errors...

    Stages and photos Merida to Santiago de Compostela in 20 days

    Today I finalised my editing of camera photos and adding all mobile photos to an album. I also wrote down my stages in the albums so I can post them here as well. My stages are albergue to albergue and can include a detour, a visit to one or several bars/restaurants etc. on the way. The time is...

    I only brought sandals but with toe socks and wool socks it is not cold at all. I wear sandals at home until the snow comes :-) We had a nice chat over dinner. Lovely Spanish couple walking from A Gudiña.

    Food poisoned and cold albergue was 2 different days. I kept warm under 2 blankets but didn't want to go up this morning. Yes the shower had almost hot water in Dozon. Today I had planned 40 but felt so strong and the legs took me to Ponte Ulla (48 km). Almost went 4 km more to the Xunta...

    Snoozing under 2 blankets. To cold to get up. Absolutely no heating in this albergue in the dormitory.

    I didn't see the river route but to be honest I just wanted to get to an albergue asap yesterday. I had a menu del día in Xunqueria de Ambía and 8 km later on the way to Ourense it all came up again, food poisoned. So I was totally out energy the last 10 km. Took the left route and then the...

    There is no Sanabres forum so I continue here then. Have had more problem with the phone so I have limited my updates to a few places. But I'm currently having lunch in Xunqueria de Ambía on my way from Alberguería (nice albergue) to Ourense and have a question for tomorrow. Left or right...

    Yes of course. Didn't think of my path change. Got some more info during dinner, road 5 km then follow arrows.

    LIVE from the Camino This and that from VdlP from a long distance peregrina

    Have had network problems a couple of days but lovely walks. Now in Requejo de Sanabria after a 43 km walk yesterday I did 45. Feels good. But I'm a little bit confused about tomorrow leaving this town. There are arrows in town pointing one direction and arrows on the main road pointing to the...

    Best guide for VDLP beginner?

    I use Kelly's book together with Gronze info and GPS-tracks provided by Kelly. From when you get out of Salamanca (just straight from leaving the last mark at Plaza Mayor without any arrows) it had been very well marked. Those who had started from Zamora had papers with all albergues from the...

    On the road again -VdlP

    I I loved the country side road to Zamora. Nice views and I had such good luck with perfect photo light. But I'm more interested I photography than tapas ;-)

    First half of yesterday along the motorway was a little bit uninspiring but a heavy fog rolled in and made the world a little bit dimmed and I liked it. The rest over open landscape was nice. Firsr half in full clothing 4 degrees. Second half in rolled up sleeves and skirt hooked up to short and...

    Today was a day almost without photos. Said goodbye to my Swedish and German friends as they should walk to Salamanca and stay there. Time for new friends. Had a lovely walk in the morning and in just a short while I was in Salamanca. Had a second breakfast and did some shopping. Bailed out...

    Sounds lovely but I can't eat gluten so no crossiants for me. Had a plate of cheese and ham at the plaza. It was good.

    Pastries are nice but as gluten intolerant I can't eat them. I came to the cathedral really early just at the same time a huge group with a guide arrived. The group took no interest in anything then them self I was pushed into a corner in the entrance as the guide gathered then for some info. I...

    It is clearly waymarked though. Regarding Salamanca I will probably not stay long, me and big cities are not compatible.
