We are approaching the half way to Santiago mark. We have hiked 230 miles and have 257 left to the cathedral, so tomorrow we should have 244 walked with 243 remaining. Doesn’t really mater either way. We just walk west each day and enjoy what comes our way. Click the link below to see what we have up to the past two days.
Burgos to Castrojeriz
The maseta is off to a wonderful start. Rolling hills and tons of crop fields. Where are the actual farms/barns? Not sure. We did see a tractor today though. Click the link below to read about our past two days.
Granon to Burgos
Elizabeth has been struggling a bit with her knee. It prevented her from training hard before we came to Spain and has acted up a bit lately. Today was a short day (9 miles) on a great path and all went well. Tomorrow we continue the journey west, to Santiago and beyond. Tonight we booked rooms for the next 3 days.

Navarrete to Granon
We walked out of La Rioja wine country today. All is going well. Not much of a narrative today, but lots of pictures. Click the link below to see our past two days.
Los Arcos to Navarrete
The adventures continue. We are off the primary stops, so things seem very quiet. It is supposed to warmup, so maybe there will be more activity in the streets at night. We did hit 70 this afternoon, but still chilly with clouds and wind. Click below to read about our past two days. Oh, and we passed the 100 miles walked today.
Los Arcos
Our first week of walking is complete. We have covered a little over 80 miles so far. We are at the point where our bodies should be getting stronger. I have always felt day 7 or 8 is the turning point. Click the link below to read about our past 3 days. AS always, thanks for following along.
Pamplona
We have had beautiful weather the past two days for walking. Today we had to dodge lots of runners for a short stretch as there was a local race outside Pamplona that utilized a part of the Camino. Click the link below to read about our latest adventures.
We are off and walking!!
We made it over the Pyrenees with reasonable weather. No rain and temps in the upper 30s with reasonable winds. Still quite cold for us Phoenicians. Now we have easier walking and warmer weather ahead. Click the link below for the write up and photos.
Here we go!
We are in Saint Jean, about to head up into the Pyrenees. The link below will bring you to our post about the journey to France. Buen Camino!!
Our bags are packed (and unpacked, and packed again…)
Elizabeth’s busy work schedule is behind her, so now she is focusing on Spain. We have booked our first 4 nights in Spain (well two nights are in France) and then it will be figuring things out as we go. We are both ready. I (Gary) had my 3 month follow up on my shoulder surgery today and got the all clear from the doc – “Just be careful” were his words of advice. I can even start lifting things with my right arm. I had been restricted to 2 pounds till today. For the past 8 months (I injured my shoulder last August) I have been putting my day pack on just using my left arm.
