Well, friends, it's time:
My backpack is on the floor. I am gathering my stuff, packing veery light: 7 kgs. However, I am going to Alicante on Monday morning for a 10 days of Easter celebration with my girlfriend. When I send her home, I will then attend 1 month at a Spanish language school in Alicante, living within a Spanish family provided for me by the school, and after that: Another Camino! Honing my new and improved Spanish language skills, I hope.
But: what Camino? I am tempted to simply take a train to Pamplona via Barcelona and do another CF. But I have the option, being in Alicante, to take the Camino Sureste whivh starts in Alicante. However, as I like to walk in solitude, I am also a social animal, and maybe the Sureste (Alicante and on to Santiago) will be too lonely for me. On that Camino I suspect I will be walking in complete solitude...?
Also, on the CF, you will meet a lot of people who are troubled, searching; maybe I can give a word or two for comfort. I don't know.
As you may understand, I have no time limits, and no direction limits. I just need to walk. But what Way?!
Covarubbios is on my list this year! Have wanted to for a long time...AlexWalker, I had the similar thoughts--balancing wanting both solitude and the gladness that comes on the CF from company.
So I'll be walking 3 days into Burgos from Santo Domingo de Silos--a part-day on the Lana and then on the Camino de San Olav from Covarrubias to Burgos. Serious Norweigan connections, there, by the way...
Holla,
I'm taking Spanish also, never thought of taking class in Spain. Could you send me the name of the school ?
And Santo Domingo de Silos is a morning's walk in one direction on the Lana...Santa Mara de Lara (a Visigothic church) ditto in the other direction, along the St Olav. How can you go wrong? I'll post notes here.Covarubbios is on my list this year! Have wanted to for a long time...
Please do!And Santo Domingo de Silos is a morning's walk in one direction on the Lana...Santa Mara de Lara (a Visigothic church) ditto in the other direction, along the St Olav. How can you go wrong? I'll post notes here.
Will post my experience here on this good forum. Thank you!Great info about the school - thank you for sharing! Would love to hear what you think of the school after it's done, and how much you feel your Spanish improves. Buen Camino on whichever route you select!
I'm also very keen to hear how the language school goes as it's something that I have been thinking of doing next year. Buen Camino, Alexwalker, whichever you choose.
Will post my experience here on this good forum. Thank you!
Walk in peace, friend. I will most likely do another CF...I love the peace of the Meseta...
As for my language school: I understand it will be interesting for quite a few of you, so I will post my experiences here. What I can say so far is:
I have been treated very politely by various staff. They have a high-speed response time. I have paid my dues via secure Net, and they have been recognised immediately. I have received proper receipts that I can show, in a speedy manner. I have been assigned to a local Spanish living quarter with detailed information. It took just hours after I paid my dues. I am a bit surprised at the level of professional and caring attitude I have received. Very pleased, confident, and looking forward to it all. I will be working hard, because I want to be able to communicate in respect, not just being thought of as another ignorant tourist.
