This afternoon I arrived in Zamora 🇪🇸 to start the Vía de la Plata/Sanabrés to Santiago de Compostela. This will be a test for my new hip which I received in March🚶🏼♀️👟 🎒. I've walked this section of the Camino before, hence the title.

I'm currently in Melinda, but I got to witness an incredible show last week while in El Acebo.
After a hot shower to warm up and a satisfying dinner, I ventured outside my hostel to capture a few photos and was greeted by an astonishing display...

What a shame it would be if pilgrims walking from Porto or even further away couldn’t qualify for the Compostela just because they chose to walk the Variante Espiritual! Having walked the Central Route previously, our most recent Camino from...
A woman popped out of the church and beckoned me over as I was walking by and gave me the tour.
