- Bordeaux, San Sebastian and Madrid (hola!)Hi all, We’ve put up some more photos that cover our time in Bordeaux, San Sebastian, Pamplona and Madrid. Hope you enjoy. We’ve had a great past week or so. The pace has slowed down a bit from the constant Posted by rossandemily11 in Ross and Emily | Sep 28, 2011

- Madrid Ola! This place dominates over Barca... better food, cheaper drinks and less tourists (I consider myself a local now that I have been here for two weeks and my spanish vocabulary has extended to over 20 words). Market food the way Posted by astroalex in Follow the Sun | Sep 28, 2011
- malditos pájaros y la belleza del artebarcelonaaaaaaa day two In Plaza Espanya whoop whoop ! Normally I would NEVER let a stranger touch my camera in Spain, but this chick was a tourist from Southern Spain and real Posted by dodie.does in what dodie does | Sep 27, 2011
- Madrid to BarcelonaAnother long driving day today. 600kms. We are almost to the front of the coach. Tomorrow we get the front seat. We left Madrid at 8am, stopped for morning tea and lunch and arrived at our hotel, the Melia about Posted by shazdrew in Drew and Sharon's Travels | Sep 27, 2011
- Water, Goats and new arrivalsWell I did promise some pictures of goats so on Sunday I made sure I was waiting for them with my camera. No, silly, that's Rachel. The other news, of course is that she has come Posted by chaosity in chaosity travels | Sep 27, 2011
- Ahhh Rioja You gotta love the way the spanish do things... wake up at 10... late breakfast (vino optional), then tapas lunch (wine mandatory), then late dinner (wine is the dinner). Rioja, the best wine region in Spain. Good selection of 10 Posted by astroalex in Follow the Sun | Sep 27, 2011
- HOLA CATALONIAI was TERRIFIED of leaving London (my baby my boo) to go to Barcelona Land O' Ladrones, especially because I was actually almost as scared of the flight as of the place itself and of sleeping in a random dude's Posted by dodie.does in what dodie does | Sep 27, 2011
- Madrid and ToledoAnother lovely day today. We have been really blessed with the weather so far. We had a local guide for the day, Maria-Lourdes. She knows everything there is to know about Madrid and Toledo. Nathalie comes along to keep us Posted by shazdrew in Drew and Sharon's Travels | Sep 26, 2011
- Lourdes to MadridToday was basically just a driving day. It’s amazing how the countryside changes so fast. You cross over the Pyrenees mountains where is it very green and lush from all the rain they get and when you come into Spain Posted by shazdrew in Drew and Sharon's Travels | Sep 26, 2011
- EpilogueThe microcosm of my beautiful, loving and protective Camino world is finally gone, and I am surrounded by the first time in four weeks by people who feel like strangers. I watch the world fly by the window of the Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 27 Santiago de Compostela – Negreira 18kmAfter Santiago there are way markers again, but this time they are to about three decimal places, which is irritating and unnecessary. I end up trying to ignore them, 'I've definitely walked more than .456km!' I think. The 20km is Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 26 Arzua – Santiago de Compostela 41km I leave Arzua bright and early, unbelievably excited. The day is pretty much a blur. I see early morning Spaniards breakfasting in the first few towns, drinking beer and wine at 9am. I see road markers every kilometre, which Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 25 Palas de Rei – Arzua 29kmSpanish people have a very interesting grasp of the concept impulse shopping. In Australia or the UK you find Mars Bars and Chupa-Chups lining the checkouts; sweet things are piled up high and enticing for last-minute lapses of reason. But Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 24 Moimentos – Palas de Rei 30kmAll afternoon I see little notes scribbled and left on the Camino, notes in plastic pockets, wedged underneath rocks or written in chalk on walls and path markers. They continue to appear all the way to Santiago, lots of them Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 23 Triacastela – Moimentos 39km (via Samos)Today I pass through Sarria, which signals the last 100km to Santiago. The Camino becomes packed with Spanish people at the start of their school holidays, big groups of teenagers that march along chattering and laughing. The atmosphere of the Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 22 La Faba – Triacastela 22kmGently the path climbs up and down little hills to Triacastella and I look down over a chequered blanket of green hills and I feel like a bird flying for almost the whole day. It's cold and windy up here, Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 21 Cacabelos – La Faba 33kmI have just passed some cows in a field, beautiful terracotta coloured cows with their calves sleeping in the sunshine. I wonder what cows think about... The following is a diary entry for a calf (imagine it shaking its floppy Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 20 Manjarin – Cacabelos 38kmI head out early from Manjarin after a lovely breakfast with everyone. I'm walking with a Polish girl who tells me that in Poland, if they don't want to wash for a day, they say “I'm having a child's day” Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 19 Astorga – Manjarin 32kmI'm not sure if I'm going mad, becoming schizophrenic or if I've just been walking alone for too many days, but my mind, heart and body have begun to take on different and separate persona. OK, I'm probably mad, but Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 18 Hospital de Orbigo – Astorga 16kmMy feet smell like butter. This morning, following the advice of the Frenchies, I cover my feet with butter (because I don't have any Vaseline) which makes them slippery and ensures my socks and shoes wont rub and I wont Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 16 Mansilla de las Mulas – La Virgen del Camino 28kmI know I've said this before but there are just so many amazing coincidences on the Camino. One girl I met from Australia had done the Camino before, and this year she decided to do a different route called the Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 15 Calzadilla de los Hermanillos – Mansilla de las MulasToday I am walking on a stony old Roman Road, which is v. romantic but irritatingly hard on my feet. I'm sure it was amazingly smooth however many hundred years ago but right now it's rocky – architecture and engineering Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 14 Calzadilla de la Cueza – Calzadilla de los HermanilloFinally, my friends, it has happened. I am lost. I have taken completely the wrong route, lost the Camino Frances and ended up in Calzadilla de los Hermanillos. After lunch I was supposed to have a short 5km afternoon walk Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
- Day 13 Poblacion de Campos – Calzadilla de la Cueza 33km“Are you going all the way to Santiago?” During the first week of the Camino most people answer “yes” proudly to this question. But, after a while people start to experience the myriad of things that can go wrong on Posted by CharliePepper in Charlie Pepper V The Camino de Santiago | Sep 26, 2011
