18.6 km (354.8) 4h Today I actually managed to run less than 20 km. The next open hostel would have been only after another 17 km I was already warned by the monastery keeper that there is no water or food on the way. So I have to prepare for

36.2 km (336.2) 7 h Since I enjoyed the kilometers so much yesterday, the hostel owners thought to add one more today Before Fromista, not a single hostel was open, although I passed through a few towns. I walked today, armed with an orange into the sunrise. Until behind Léon

32,7 km (300 km) 7h Today I got a ride from my colleague Jaime in Madrid to Burgos. Unfortunately, the driver could not take me to Ages, where I had to stop almost 2 years ago because of Corona. Thus, I am now missing 20 km of the Camino. For

28 km (167 km) 5h Today the weather was beautiful all day. However, I can’t imagine doing the hike in even warmer weather than 20 degrees. As it is, it is just right. I imagine the summer to be unbearable Since the walk yesterday seemed so long and hard, I

42 km (114 km) 9h We had spent the night in a German hostel today. It is called Albergue Paderborn. It is run by changing personnel from Germany. Since I “only” ran 20 km yesterday and I now also have the bandage to stabilize my knee, I planned a few
