Camino Via de la Plata 2016
We rounded the corner into Olleros de Tera and were confronted with this lovely lady who was,unbeknown to me, preparing our dinner! She was happily plucking away, feathers flying everywhere and she greeted us with excitement. We went into the bar to see if they had accommodation and were shown into the bowels of the …

We had a short walk today but it was so beautiful and colourful, we kept stopping to take photos and it took us ages to get to the next stop, Olleros de Tera. We are still on the same river. We haven't seen a sunrise for a few days but were treated with a golden …
We took off at a reasonable time this morning and didn't notice the first 7 or 8 kms because we were chatting so much. I didn't take many photos as the scenery was much the same, but the track we were walking on was much softer (gravel and sandy soil most of the time) so …
Over the last few days, whilst I have been walking on my own as Colleen takes longer strides than me, I have fallen into a pattern of thinking. Each day, I wonder what drives a person to do these long walks, why me of all people, because I don't really enjoy walking. I love the …
Well today we left the Via de la Plata and those that are travelling on it, and headed west towards Orense on the Sanabrese route to Santiago. So sad to say good bye to those we have met along the way but hopefully we will meet up at the end. This is certainly the road …
Well we are now in El Cubo de la Tierra del Vino in a wonderful albergue. We have a private room, the hospitalero has cooked us a really yummy dinner which we ate by an open fire and our bones have finally warmed. We met up with the Korean girls again, and met some new …
I love the hospitality of the country villagers. Last night's dinner was wonderful and our hospitalera could not do enough for us. She catered to everyone's diets and made sure we were warm and cosy. She is an absolute delight. Colleen is on the mend now after 4 days of illness. We are now in …
Not feeling very witty and no real adventure to speak of. This is just a diary post and photos of Salamanca, mainly as reference for myself as a journal Yesterday, as I said previously, we had to catch the bus because Colleen was so unwell and it would have been madness to walk. We checked …
Well I'm behind in my notes as I haven't had a strong enough internet connection for a couple of days. Can't really be bothered writing much right now, but I'm sure that will change as I start looking back at my photos. I'm tired. I didn't sleep much last night - more on that in …
BORING- Last night was spent in a great albergue in Aldeanueve Del Camino. We were the only females there so we had a room to ourselves. Beautiful little town. We left really early this morning, struggled to find our way again in the dark, and shivered our way up to the highway where we faced …
