I'm with you Janice!Magwood blogs are like curling up with a good novel!
Buen Camino
Janice
Again great pictures . Love the stories as well I will follow it to the end. It gives me the insight for next year when I will walk the Norte as well.Many thanks to everyone for your very kind comments.
@KinkyOne, I am using wikiloc. I have found it to be the most accurate of those that I have tried when compared to a dedicated GPS unit. I also use mapmywalk which overstates the distance as compared to wikiloc, but I like some of the features.
Today I felt the first rain, but not very much. Although it had been raining a lot during the night and the track was very muddy and slippery. It was a relief to walk on the road, even though there was a lot of it today.

The last photo, yummy, have to make myself a dinner right now

Great posts, Magwood! What guide are you using?
The hill you are refering to is the Brusco and I was told it was better to go over it rather than around it by the tourism office in Santona: I think that person has never climbed kt! As beautiful as the views are it can be a dangerous path, with the cliff right behind you should you set a foot wrong and your backpack pulling you backwards. Being short I even had to crawl up a bit on my knees, and sit on my way down. Not for everyone.
The wooden youke you saw is, I belive, a collera. Basically is cow collar used to tie the cow to its manger or to a stake in the ground to prevent it from eating too much. Why wood (heavy?) vs a lighter more modern material, I don't know.

Maggie, are you on Facebook? There's a young couple from ....well, I don't know but are English-speaking, who are just behind you. They're called "Uncornered Market". They've been posting some fantastic photographs of the Norte. They posted that yesterday they: "Decided to take a small 1km detour from the Camino at Unquera to spend the night at Agritourismo Muriances as we heard the mother there, Elizabeth, cooks up a storm." And they were overawed by the food and views. Perhaps you'll have a chance to meet?
Love the stories and the pictures. The stories and the pictures tell that you have a great time.
Yes, it's tru that the link isn't working but you can just click on next day in the link for Day 15.Link to day 16
Very much hippyish and with a distinctive lump on her forehead. She is lovely. If you were to contact Sergio at the email address given for the albergue La Ferreria on day 18, I expect he will have contact details for Marina.Yes, it's tru that the link isn't working but you can just click on next day in the link for Day 15.
Maggie, is Marina by any chance from France (Swiss)??? I met a woman in her 40's/50's by the name Marina in 2014 in A Laxe on Sanabres and walked with her and a French boy of 15 years she was with (French program for resocializing youngsters) on and off until Fisterra. She told me about her love for Camino del Norte and a great wish to open albergue there. So I thought she might be the same person. Would love very much to reconnect if you have any additional info or even her address. Thank you in advance!
Enjoying your posts and photos as always
EDIT: I looked into your post once again and saw that you wrote Marina IS French. If she looks somewhat like a hippie that must be her.
The plant is a Lathraea Clandestina (Purple toothwort) originally from
Western Belgium, Western and Central France and Northern Spain, and locally in Central Italy
Love the stories and the pictures. The stories and the pictures tell that you have a great time.
Wish you well on your journey, Peter.
p.s. The link to day 16 is not working. .
Hahaha, that's definitely her. Very funny and good person!Very much hippyish and with a distinctive lump on her forehead. She is lovely. If you were to contact Sergio at the email address given for the albergue La Ferreria on day 18, I expect he will have contact details for Marina.
Glad that your feet are better now.
Devouring and savouring your blog! Brilliant writing and pictures.
The only thing is, that you need sun classes to look at houses.
Wow, a 29km average on del Norte. You're a real trooper!!!
Another good reason to walk solitary caminos -- these guys are unlikely to hang around all day on the chance that one pilgrim will walk by!
I would say start a new thread so we that will follow your steps could easily find it. But do continue your blog, pleaseLink to day 23
Last day on el Norte. Should I start a different thread for the Ruta do Mar or continue here?
