Day 9

Hello! Today was truly a beautiful day! (Thursday, I’m a bit behind haha). We have officially made it under the 500km mark! (Honestly I think we did a day or two ago and didn’t even know it). We began the middle section of the Camino, called the Meseta. It’s known for...

Day 8

Hello! Day 8 (Wednesday) was a lovely lovely day! We spent the morning touring a world famous Cathedral in Burgos, which took over two hours! The Cathedral is the largest I’ve ever seen. Housing a “cathedral within a cathedral”, the tomb of El Cid, well over 30 small...

Day 7

Hey hey, I hope you are all well!  My Dad and I had quite the day today (Tuesday)! We walked from Atapuerca to Burgos, a total of 20km!! We’ve been so impressed with our progress this year, since last year we weren’t doing 20km days nearly as successfully. With...

Day 6

Hello all! Day 6 (Monday) was our first rainy day on the Camino, and it didn’t go easy on us. First thing in the morning someone took my poles by accident. I was prepared to be pole-less (or take whatever was left when everyone had gone out), but thankfully the lady...

Day 5

Hello everyone!! Today we went from Belorado (or El Dorado as Dad would say) to Villafranca. It was only 12km which took us approximately 3.5 hours. The weather was very windy and overcast, and just as we got into Villafranca the rain started to pour. Just in time for...

Day 4

Good evening (or morning or afternoon wherever you are)! Today my Dad and I completed another 15km and went from Granon to Belorado. It was fairly overcast and windy, but still warm so it almost made for the perfect walking conditions!  We started the morning...

Day 3

Hello! Today we had a short and sweet walk, 7km from Santo Domingo to Granon. We intentionally stopped here because there is a hostel run by the church that has amazing reviews. Although we had a short walk, I can feel my first blister coming on. I’ve also since...

Day 2

Hola! Today (Thursday) we made our way from Azofra to Santo Domingo. We originally planned to stop in Ciruena, but we arrived much faster than anticipated so we kept going.  We did a total of 15km, and still got into Santo Domingo around 1pm.  I’m not...

Camino Day 1

Hello everyone! We have officially completed day 1 of the Camino! My Dad and I are excited to have finally started part 2 of the trip. Prepare yourselves for many photos.  This morning we spent some time in our favourite church one more time before catching a...

Easter Monday + Tuesday

Hello everyone! Monday was our last day in Lourdes, and I really did not want to leave. Lourdes is abounding with peace, and so many graces flow from there. It’s a place like no other. If you ever can visit, please do. You won’t regret it. We made our way from Lourdes...
