    Interior way 2020

    I arrived home to Donostia after reaching Iruñea (Pamplona) yesterday. I didn't post because I was physically and mentally tired, it sure feels good to be home. I had to come home because this week I'm moving houses and after some rest, I'm thinking about a third camino, this time from...

    Interior way 2020

    Arrived at Elizondo. In Urdazubi I slept in the frontoia/frontón. The three Catalan pilgrims set up their tent just outside in the grassy area and got a talking to by the police in the morning. Bu the police don't come into the frontoia! Here are the accommodation options in Elizondo. The...

    A sign from the church in Zuraide: This church is called Saint James Previously it was used as a shelter by pilgrims Today too, by faithful and non believers alike If this place is to your liking, all the better All things that are born are proceeding towards the grave Aren't we all...

    Interior way 2020

    Quick update: crossed the frontier and am sleeping in the frontón of Urdazubi. I decided to stop here to see the caves tomorrow and so I didn't push for Amaiur. Naturally the monastery albergue is closed. Quick tip: just before turning into Ainhoa, there's a fountain. Go directly into Ainhoa...

    Interior way 2020

    I started the Baztan Camino today with some shoes that are not working for me (not the previous pair I wore for the other caminos). They're boots because I thought I'd need them, except most of today from Baiona (Bayonne) to Zuraide (Souraide) was on road... which sucks for my feet! The weather...

    Interior way 2020

    Tomorrow (21st) I'm going to catch a bus up to Baiona and see what's up. Last time I was there was with some friends for the Christmas market and I enjoyed it but this time I'll be travelling alone, so I can see what I want when I want! They had to almost drag me out of the Baiona cathedral...

    Interior way 2020

    I forgot to mention that in San Pantaleón de Losa, just before starting the ascent to the beautiful church (closed because of coronavirus), I met the drummer of the band Zea Mays who was there passing the weekend with his family. They kept my bag while I went up and gave me water. Here is a song...

    It's true, a skill and a perfected art form! I will get that GPS though. You're doing the Camino de las Asturias soon aren't you? I mostly followed the GR-1 Historical Route out of Araba and into Castilla y León because it is excellently marked. I would only warn that in some places it goes...

    Interior way 2020

    I'm currently on my way home to Donostia and at the Bilbao train station I saw quite a few people with big backpacks (tents + sleeping bags) asking for directions. They didn't have the shell, but I imagine they were pilgrims doing the northern route! It made my day happy, I'm sure they'll have...

    Interior way 2020

    Wow wow wow! Thank you so much for the information. Just to let you know I pushed on yesterday and I'm in Salinas de Rocío. For food I ate the last of what I brought from Espejo (!) and a lovely family in Návagos treated me to their soup and salad, all ingredients from their garden! In all the...

    Interior way 2020

    I've met no pilgrim in my route, neither in the interior Basque Country route nor in the beginning of this Camino de las Asturias. But I've asked locals and they do say they've seen pilgrims earlier in the year. Maybe a few weeks ago. It's odd because sometimes I see footprints and so forth, it...

    Interior way 2020

    A lot has happened since the last time I posted and hopefully I'll have the time to post about it, because there were some very interesting and even beautiful moments. Right now I'm in Bóveda, near the border with Burgos. Yesterday I mashed two steps together, doing an epic (for me) 45 or so...

    Interior way 2020

    Anyone who has been in Gasteiz I'm sure will agree with me in saying that it's a beautiful city! I have a question about the stamps. Sometimes I skipped the stamps from some places. For example when I started from Irun in the morning the town hall was closed, (but I had a stamp already from...

    Interior way 2020

    I'm in Gasteiz, at the Albergue de la Catedral which is open with new conditions: for example only one person to a bunk bed. I reached Dulantzi but to no one's surprise, the albergue is closed for the year and I took a bus to Gasteiz to sleep. I hope to take a bus back and finish the last 13km...

    Interior way 2020

    I am at Zegama. It was a day of ups and downs, both literal and metaphorical. Let me get the accommodation out of the way. There is one room available in the hotel, 35€ per night, the pilgrim's albergue (recently renovated and all made out of wood, accesible via elevator next to the frontón) is...

    Maybe if I could hold my beer... I forgot to mention that I'm not doing the entire Camino del Interior, but I will deviate into the Camino de las Asturias, which I found out about here in this forum. That means I diverge from the ordinary way at Puebla de Arganzón. I'm unsure about the lodging...

    Interior way 2020

    I started off on the 1st of July, departing from Irun to Hernani, where I stayed the night at the house of some friends. Hernani is an impressively beautiful town with a great ambiance. 26km in total. 7 hours like it said on the brochure, but this my first time walking such considerable...
