A daily dose of Vitamin C - one day at a time, one photo at a time (12)

Camino Frances
Trinidad de Arre

Frozen path Trinidad de Arre.webp

Arriving here had been difficult since the CF path from Zubiri was covered with ice and snow; I had mainly walked on the verges of route N-135.

As the only pilgrim I could sleep not in the dorm but in a tiny cell behind the church altar in my sleeping bag covered with their blankets but NO heat ! All truly was freezing!!

Camino Frances
Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port,
55 rue de la Citadelle

Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port  13.10.15.webp

The famous red door of the municipal albergue with its welcoming shell was ajar. Crossing that special threshold symbolically always began my new camino adventure; it is a magical entrance to another way of life, the camino way....Serendipity prevails.
For me the Camino Frances could ONLY begin at Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, this picturesque Basque mountain town in the French Pyrenees.
 
From the Baztan, 2017.
Nearing the top of the highest hill of this short but hilly camino, the way climbs above tree line on an ancient road. The edges are marked by massive standing stones, presumably winter waymarks.

Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
16 March 2024,
VDLP section between Embalse del Alcántara and Cañaveral. Ghostly sheep appearing in the mist. A beautiful day. My walking friend and I continued to Grimaldo because (there no longer being an Albergue at the embalse ) we had taken a taxi from
Casar de Cásares to the embalse ..to start the day from the embalse …. .
