Day 14: Ena - Arrés, 31 kms
I didn't sleep well in the albergue in Ena. There are no curtains in the dorm and the room gets heated during the day. For such a well-equipped albergue it's strange they don't have at least a fan.
From Ena at 700...
Day 13: Loarre - Ena, 33 kms
I reluctantly left Loarre in the morning. It was a nice little village! I slept like a log in the casa rural Pepico that was effectively soundproof.
In a wooded area I saw a pilgrim's shell in perfect condition on...
Day 12: Huesca - Loarre, 33 kms
Food has been scarce for the last few days. I have had to plan my stages carefully and look out for the few stores that have come my way. I don't eat anything while I am walking, just drinking, but in the evening...
It gets decidedly hilly after Huesca. If you are going to visit Loarre Castle (and you should), the best way would probably be to take the signposted path a few kms after Ariés. On the advice of Undermanager we walked to just outside Loarre and...
I did some Googling for Spain:
Spanish drone laws
Possible drone fines in Spain
These rules and fines are heftier than in Norway, by far.
Notice that fines may be as much as 225.000€ (!)
I think of it as ‘the more you put in, the more you get out’.
Nobody could accuse you of not ‘putting in’. Do please keep the narrative coming. I’m sure there are many vicariously on Camino with you this time as well as previously.
Day 8 - -
I am still in Lourdes.
Because of another fairly crazy day. Last night, I had the start of a fairly deep conversation with a Dutch peregrina here, then on my way down to the grotto at a point that was still early enough for...
No advice. Just delight to see you are going again with your boys.
Well, maybe one tiny thing to say: do your best to get to the ends of the earth. And if you don't?
I look forward to your reports, and maybe the boys can chip in...
Unfortunately, I have no memory of your father, but he sounds like a wonderful man! My only advice, is to stick to the water, if you love it! You will have plenty of time to walk extra on the Senda Litoral. There are so many glorious beaches and...
Day 7: A Pobra do Brollón to Casa Rural da Vila — 25km
My favourite image of today’s stage came barely 10-15 minutes into it after we left A Pobra. I heard the sound of gushing water from the river to the left of the trail and a minuscule detour...
