Walking the Via de la Plata with my dog (pt. 2) | Sunny (but hard!) days in Castile and León
☕ www.buymeacoffee.com/Ellihikes
In September of 2024, Otto and I embarked on another long-distance hike. Something completely different and new for us: For the first time ever, we hiked in Spain and set off to walk 500km on the Via de la Plata, one of the Caminos de Santiago.
Come along for our second week on the camino that saw us hiking across Castile and León from Zamora to Rionegro del Puente. We had some beautiful sunny days and the landscape slowly changed from flattish farmland to rolling hills and wooded areas. But we also had some low points and the camino turned out to be harder than expected...
Lots of love and happy hiking,

    Poor Otto with all the noises and Poor you with a lack of sleep, you don't seem to be enjoying this trail like some of your others, do you not use a raincover on your pack when it is raining and does your stuff in your pack get wet without using one.

    Another enjoyable video, I always like videos when the presenter can express their feelings about what they are going through. You have also helped me with a decision I've mulled over for some time. I once had a free standing tent, (a Marmot Pulsar 1) then went for the one pole type, (a Lanshan 1) but after watching how your tent offers you more choices of where to pitch, I plan to go back to a free standing tent next year. When I had my free standing tent I too could camp on balconies, in rooms, on patios etc, someting that I can't do with my present tent.

    Really interesting to see a different Camino, nearly all the videos I've seen have been of the northern route from France. I love Spain and have done some hiking in the south; the Sierra Nevada and Sierra Grazalema plus the southern Pyrenees around Andorra. But the north of Spain, and the Picos de Europa in particular, is on my to-do list. Zamora looks lovely, it is definitely one to visit if I'm in that part of the country. Looking forward to the rest of your trip.

    That is so hard hiking long distances with not enough sleep or food AND having to carry your anxious dog! Poor Otto 😢 I have an anxious dog as well, so I can sympathize. She's quite a bit bigger, and she had surgery earlier this year on her knee, so I had to carry her a lot while she recovered. She still will fake a limp and ask me to carry her sometimes 😂 Do you have an emergency rescue sling for Otto? It might make it easier to carry him when he's anxious. You wear it like a baby carrier in front, rather than having to carry him in your arms and get exhausted. I have one for my dog in case she gets injured, thankfully I haven’t had to use it! But maybe something to look into. I have the Fido Pro, but I don't know if that would fit Otto. I think RuffWear might have one for smaller dogs.

    oh Elli... camping amidst sprinklers is a classic 😂 I was thinking it looked like an African plain / savanna too Nice to see some hillier bits and trees. Poor Otto. It takes 48 hours for the cortisol to subside after a traumatic incident. It sounds like he has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I'm a dog rescue volunteer and have seen similar issues. Best buy a dog papoose / sling and walk away from the sound. Walking towards it risks him losing trust in you and/or bolting. Have you tried DIY wraps / Thundershirt to reduce the symptoms.

    These episodes on the Camino are very different from your Uk hikes Elli 👍🏻. Quite a variety of open scenery and places to spend the night. It looks like a tougher hike along very rough tracks/Roads and very few shops and bars to replenish your energy levels. I admire you & Ottos perseverance. Thank you once again for sharing.

    Hi Elli. A lot of the tracks there look like they'll be quite hard on the feet, tarmac or gravel as opposed to grass or moorland which tend to be more common in the UK.

    Bless you Elli, for taking care of your perfect companion, Otto. He is lucky to have you. It has been really interesting seeing the countryside that you're walking through, but it does look rather bleak and uninspiring, only improvingt towards the end. Nevertheless, you bravely accept the challenges and no doubt end the day feeling quite relieved, and pleased to have coped. Regarding the bird frightening shots, it's a pity that you can't get some ear muffs for Otto. I'm sure that he'd love that. Another great vlog. Cheers ! Sheffield South Yorkshire.

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience of hiking in spain with Otto. I thought about doing it with my dog Ola (who would match with Otto lookwise), but have been shying away from it because of the public transport situation combined with not having a driver's license. In fact, I thought it was not possible at all to take a dog on any train. Since you were talking about the crate problem: I customized an IKEA bag myog style by sewing mesh-windows in the sides to take my old dog on ICE trains for free. A really lightweight solution and he really liked it.

      It's a "weird" landscape for sure. It's quite high up in altitude, 850m, sometimes even 1100m - like a giant plateau but on top it's very flat. But there were more and more hills when we hiked into Galicia :) Definitely will do that, thank you for following along :)

      As I was with my dad, I was hoping that I would be able to stay outside the albergues so that we could spend the evenings together. But not all albergues have a garden, some only a terrace/patio. Took my free-standing tent to be flexible and even pitch on concrete etc. I sometimes even pitched in the hallway of the albergue with just the inner tent, so I was very happy with my choice :)

    As a fellow vegan I really felt for you in this video. The last time I visited Spain, it was about twenty years ago, I was vegetarian and I remember that they did not understand the concept over there so I lived on cheese sandwiches and cheese salads! I've always wanted to walk the Camino but the food issue does worry me. I feel so lucky in to live in Britain where we have so many vegan options.

      That's so true, the UK is incredible when it comes to vegan options. In bigger cities and supermarkets, it's definitely possible to find great vegan options, but tbh for me personally the food situation wasn't great and annoyed me a bit after a while. It worked and I didn't starve so it was ok, but the food wasn't a highlight on this hike and options (even like side dishes like veggies) were very very limited 😉😅
