I published the first in this series last week and have got a great response so far. It was great to receive Linda's contribution and I'd like to thank her for that. This week, I posed the same questions to a great couple who write over on wisemonkeysabroad.com. Le and David love to travel and... Continue Reading →
It's the weekend again and it is that time of the week to post another clip from YouTube. Two guys start out in Logrono and finish in Santiago. I like the music too. Give it a watch if you have some time. You can also find my Camino de Santiago playlist here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hXiTN_DtVE If you... Continue Reading →
If you are one of the many people who are planning a forthcoming Camino de Santiago, the next series of posts may be of valuable use to you.

Some of you may know this image from my twitter profile but if not, there is no need to worry. These two chaps are laying in wait for you on the road from Burgos. I saw this back in 2013 pointing me to Santiago.

I have passed through this small town on three occasions and have always enjoyed my time here. Jana and her family in "Albergue Cuatro Cantones" roll out the red carpet should you wish...

The weekend is here again and with that, here is another Weekend Watch. Andrew Suzuki has posted another video from his Beyond the Way series on Facebook. This episode is titled "In the Name of the Father" and deals with the sensitive topic of death. I have to say it is pretty moving and it... Continue Reading →
I'll never forget this view. It was taken from what is called the "Alto de Mostelares" in 2013. The town in the distance is Castrojeriz and I had some breakfast there before moving on. After you leave Castrojeriz, you have a 12% climb which seems to go on forever. But the rewards are many. You... Continue Reading →
Happy Sunday! In this weekend watch, I've taken a detour from the diary clips showing scenery (not that that is a bad thing!). This is a clip of the Camino Frances in its entirety showing the towns and cities it passes through. I must message the creator and ask how he made it. The video cannot... Continue Reading →
