    Day 20 - - Ponferrada After those alarums and excursions, the train got in late here, getting towards 10PM. I hobbled as "fast" as possible towards the Albergue, grabbing a packet of crisps/potato chips along the way, and reached it after...

    PelegrinNikolai reacted to blueskywa's post in the thread Segovia Balloons! with Love - Red heart Love - Red heart.
    Walking the Madrid Camino in April 2023 I was pleasantly surprised leaving Segovia when these hot air balloons appeared on the skyline above the city early in the morning! As I'm planning to walk the Madrid again in April 2025 I'm going to take a...

    PelegrinNikolai reacted to wayfarer's post in the thread Low-hanging fruit with Thank you Thank you.
    Best answer yet. It annoyed me to see pilgrims picking grapes along the path where there wasn't any fencing, had they known of the chemical concoction that had been sprayed on said grapes to prevent blight and insect damage they might have left...
