Total distance hiked today: 35.9km Total distance remaining: 443.5km Today was a real power day of walking. We treated ourselves to breakfast of cafe con leche (milky coffee) and toast at the local cafe, so it made for a nice start to the day. We started early early, on the road by 7am. Weather today was actually clear and sunny, though still very windy and cold. We had a monster climb really early, but any begrudging thoughts we may have had were washed away i...

Total distance today: 31.3km Total distance remaining: 479.4km After a lovely and relaxing two days in Burgos, it was time to get back on the road and get some distance in! The morning was cold and overcast but thankfully not rainy. Our spirits were pretty high and didn't even notice the kms ticking off, which was really nice.

The morning was freezing cold and misty following a very hot afternoon/evening yesterday. So we made sure we put our raincovers and rain jackets on early just in case. ...

Total distance today: 29.4km Total distance remaining: 634.7km After a good rest in Logrono, we were up early and rearing to go...on the road by 6.45am! We were so excited to be back on the road we walked for six hours straight (with virtually no stops) and arrived here just after midday. Unfortunately for us, we had to wait 2.5 hours for our refugio to open! Two pluses, it is free and it is 30 degrees outside today! The highlight of the day was when when a p...
