It does rain on the camino! Into the wind and up the hill |
Finally I have a chance to share some of my photographs taken along the Camino: hopefully they will give a flavour of the places seen and the type of terrain . Please excuse the poor quality since they were from my phone: in the haste of packing I had forgotten to bring my camera!
(The pictures on the right relate to my walk from Mansilla in 2010)
A tough climb on our second day out of Pamplona: it merited a post-picnic nap |
Uterga : sturdy village houses with room for livestock and machinery beneath the living quarters |
The lovely CXII hermitage of Santa Maria de Eunate : we were here for one of the rare masses followed by a concert
|
Medieval bridge at Estella, Navarre. |
On the ancient Roman road : cherrywood staff and purple Crocs! |
Terracotta coloured earth of the Rioja region |
Ancient storehouses in the fields - like our beehive huts |
Frank and new-found friends in Logrono |
Bar Deportivo, Navarette: peppers stuffed with bacalhau in squid sauce - a wonderful meal and the cause of our lockout! We were enjoying our food so much we forgot the time... |
Enterprising stall holders on Sunday morning, selling bead bracelets and mini pilgrim staffs |
Dead sunflowers stretch towards ploughed hills in Leon
|
Ruined Antonin hospital has a road right through it |
One of the nicest albergues along the route : En El Camino at the tiny village of Boadilla del Camino |
The Canal de Castilla in glorious autumn weather : Spain has very few canals |
Which way should I go? All roads lead to Santiago |
Back with himself in Leon - glad the walk is over! |
Leon's incomparable cathedral - this time in sunshine |
My poor shot does little justice to this temple of light |
Thanks so much for taking the time to share the walk with me, and for the wonderful support for cancer research. Buen camino to each and everyone! Go n'eiri an bothar libh. Slan agus beannacht.
