Wrapping up My Trek on the VdLP
From issues with long distances, accommodation and food insecurity, multiple river crossings, and a falling injury in which I made an absolute fool of myself, this “vacation” was not feeling very rejuvenating. Today’s bad weather was the last straw, and I decided enough was enough. So I checked myself into a castle, hoping to get some rest and relaxation. It was a good move because the castle is impressive, and I highly recommend staying there if you ever get the chance. I never saw the Semana Santa celebration this year because the festivities were cancelled everywhere I went due to bad weather. Spain must be wearing off on me because as I look back now, it’s as if I can picture myself s...

Not What I Planned

Today’s walk from Carcoboso to Aldeanueva del Camino was way to long so the cab driver dropped me off at the half-way point at Ciudad Romana de Cáparra where the symbol of the Via de la Plata stands. From there I walked over many streams except for one where I found myself facing a raging river with no way to cross. I hope you enjoy watching how I figured it out! This travel vlog is part of a l...

This travel vlog is part of a larger series documenting my challe...

I love getting an early start because I get to watch the sunrise and today’s was extremely peaceful. Out in the wilderness with only my thoughts and various animals to accompany me the day seems to go by quickly. My first stay at a monastery on this trip and it was there I met an amazing hospitaleria. We were blessed by the Padre after mass and shared a communal dinner. Enjoy! Come along and jo...
My Goldilocks day looks as a Pilgrim
Просмотров 1282 месяца назад
Leaving Mérida was a sight to behold. The rising sun filtered through the Roman aqueducts on the edge of town, reminding me of this area's historical past. My walk to Aljucén was perfect in every sense. The weather was just right, the distance manageable, and the scenery stunning with wildlife and blooming flowers all around. Days like this make me truly thankful to be a pilgrim. The rich conve...
My Magical Mystical Day
Просмотров 1402 месяца назад
I have never been in Spain at this time of year so I was completely unaware of what Holy Week was all about. There are no words to describe how I felt watching this for the first time. The processions through town serve as a somber reminders of events that happened over two thousand years ago. I was humbled by this experience and by the devotion of those around me. It was truly a magical day. T...
