Introduction

[Barbara]

Hello. I have cycled from home (central france) via Saintes, Bordeaux and the Camino Frances, and walked with a donkey from le Puy via St Jean, Hendaye, Camino del Norte, and Camino primitivo to Santiago. I've sent you a picture of Dalie, my travelling companion. I'm hoping to be at Conques in march as a hospitalier, and at Miraz in October 2006

Hi Barbara and welcome to this forum.

I saw the photo of your donkey that you have uploaded to the Photo Album in this forum, your travel companion look good...

Did you have any problems with lodging when you walked with him? Did you just "park" him outside? I am asking since we have had some people in this forum wanting to walk with their dogs.

Was the photo taken in Galicia?

If anyone else wants to have a look at the photo, click the "Photo Album" button at the top of the page.

Again, welcome!

Greetings from Santiago de Compostela,
Ivar

walking with donkey

The photo was taken near Bilbao, I forget the exact county...
I mostly stayed in my tent in the same field (sometimes a garden, people were very good to me) Sometimes there was a refuge with enough grass to park a donkey, and I either tied her to a tree or set up her portable electric fence. Further on, when the weather was very bad, people sometimes lent me a stable or cowshed for Dalie while I stayed in a refuge or hotel. I think it would be much harder with a dog, as then it would have to be a tent all the time.
