I saw three pilgrims on the trail today. That was it.Sounds lovely. Do they have some small dorms also? I may have stayed there 2 years ago.
How busy is the CF now? Leaving Los Arcos on Saturday AM.
Thanks!
sounds wonderful! I have added the name to my folder ~ thanks!Anyway, my lovely traveling companion suggested that I mention how amazing our pensionis, We are staying at a place called Casa de Abuelo. It is a beautiful large home, designed for pilgrims. They stock the kitchen with a lot of different types of food, and plenty of beer and plenty of cooking amenities. A wonderful wash sink is outside with a huge clothesline. In the nice warm cozy living room area are couches. board games, a fireplace in the corner, and a beautiful shower in every room.
Yay, leaving in 2 days for Spain, starting Camino Frances next Thursday. Hope it's still a little quiet - but whatever hey?I saw three pilgrims on the trail today. That was it.
Hi Sue,Hi Viranani - I'm starting in SJPDP on Thursday walking via Valcarlos as the Route Napoleon is closed I'm told. I'm looking forward to the 'easier on the legs' start anyway.
Thanks for your good wishes. It's my first camino and I feel like I've been planning for it for ever! Flying out in 2 days - chomping at the bit quite frankly! But that's probably all part of it too I imagine.
cheers!
Sounds great, Deb. Am glad you're having a great time. Buen Camino, SisterImagine my extreme delight when my favorite place to stay in Hornillos del Camino welcomed us with open arms! At first I thought they actually recognized me, but I am sure that they see a lot of people. I pulled out their guest book and showed them my page with my signature! They were so glad that I am a second time person here. And actually, it's only been four months. Some of my underwear may still be on the line outside… Those of you that were following me remember that I lost a merino wool undergarment. ...

Casa de Abuelo is owned and run by a wonderful grandmother and grandfather, and several sons and daughters occasionally make an appearance to help their parents. I love it here. Recommended. €30 for a downstairs bedroom, and €40 for the fancier upstairs rooms.
Oy. Well...congratulations, by the way. That's a lot of weight to have lost!Two days of long distance walking is reminding me that I was not very well-prepared, my pack isn't fitting me the same now that I have lost a bit of weight
Actually, it was a wet day. Not too bad though!The toughest day I had last year was the day I walked from Castrojerez to Fromista. Woke up to a raging storm, which battered me most of the day. Hope you fare better.
Wish I was there, sigh!
In late Sept 1999 Burgos through to Castrojerez passing through villages making ready for winter stacking up great piles of timber, sheep following their shepherd, wild open county with fast moving and darkening clouds. Great priest at hostel in Castrojerez but I walked on to Itero de la Vega. Hostel donative in main square and a very nice bar over the road. In 2014 Hontanas hostel was very welcoming when cycling from Belorado.Actually, it was a wet day. Not too bad though!
As an ex teacher perhaps a wet day on the camino comes out ahead of wet day at school?--!Actually, it was a wet day. Not too bad though!
Hola Debrita - is this the establishment owned by Martin Shean's grandson (Taylor)'s in-laws? In the extra section of the DVD of The Way they mention a place in Hornillos as belonging to a family. Anyway thanks for the info - even if the price is a bit more than a pilgrim usually pays. Still if the quality is there then the cost is not significant.
