I have recently made a decision to walk the Via Bayonne/Vasco Interior to Burgos and our flights were booked yesterday; heading out in early May. So far we've only booked the last two nights in Burgos at the end. It's been nearly eight years...
Conclusion of my Camino Manchego
I decided in favour of this Camino at very short notice, having actually wanted to walk the Camino del Sur (where it would have been much warmer). I was expecting meseta-like endless deserted expanses. After...

Day 5: Sonseca - Toledo (25km officially, 24km for me)
When I arrived at 8.45am in the breakfast room, which was only slightly heated, the hotel employee said it was very cold outside. I looked out of the window and saw hoarfrost on the parked...

Day 2: Malagon - Urda (35km officially and for me, as there was no room for error)
The crucial question today was: would I manage to complete the longest stage by sunset? 35km in 9.5 hours on a flat path should actually work. But you don't...
Day 1: Ciudad Real - Malagon (according to Buen Camino 27 km, I walked 29 km)
I was worried about the drop in temperature. When I stepped out of the hotel at 9.30am it was 5 degrees and I could see my breath. However, the sky was clear and the...
I've been in Ciudad Real since yesterday evening and will be walking the Camino Manchego in five stages to Toledo from tomorrow. I found very little information about this Camino and decided to do it at very short notice. After the Via Augusta, I...
