Towns Along The Way – “N-P”

It’s been a while since I wrote about the various towns that line the Camino Frances. In my last update, I talked about the towns of Maneru, Melide, Molinaseca, Manjarin, and Mansilla de las Mulas. Molinaseca is a favourite of mine. In this post, I’ll talk about some more towns. Again, if you have stayed...

2016 Plans so far…

The #camino de santiago hashtag has been trim of late on WordPress which leads me to believe that people are busily putting together their plans for upcoming Caminos. Once we hit April, blogs burst into life with great stories and many photos of people's times in Spain. However, for me, I've been trying to convince...

...it's got a nice ring to it, doesn't it? two..oh..one..six.. ..I haven't got used to writing it yet, but at least we have got one extra day to try and complete all those New Year's resolutions, eh?

And like that, we’re down to 20…

New Year…and some news for my next Camino

2015…what’s to come?
