Day 29 Villafranca to Las Herrerías - 13.6 miles (30,000 steps).

Today was a lovely treat for my feet. Only 13 miles and mostly on the road with very little up and down so I wore my Teva hiking sandals all day and my feet are very happy tonight.

We walked all day today with Sandra, Colin, and Aurelia. We stopped at this bohemian style alburgue for lunch and had the best chicken stew!

Chef Canute at Our lunch. He is Danish and has been cooking for pilgrims here the last 2 years. The second picture is the outside of this cute restaurant and the music just guided us in.

And of course as we were leaving, in walked Calle and Yabriel, the coolest couple on the Camino. We love running into these two as they have great love and energy all around them.

Animals along the way. The picture of the dogs is for Rachael 🥰🐾🦴

Aurelia and I at the 179 KM mark!!!

Beautiful chapel we visited and I lit a candle.

More pictures Amy and I took.

We just found this road to be interesting, it cuts through the mountains.

taking a break for coffee.pilgrims on the road and our trail through the mountains.

Bike and wine, two of my favorite things 🤪🍷🚴

Just an idea of what we have in store for us tomorrow 😬 yikes! This is a total of 29 km. As a side note, it’s our last big hill on this journey.

Buen Camino!

The adventure begins soon!

Becky and Amy leave on September 2, 2025 to embark on a pilgrimage, backpacking across Spain on the Camino De Santiago, also known as "The way of Saint James". This has been a bucket list item for Becky for several years.. The camino is a pilgrims journey to the Cathedral in Santiago where one can   visit the shrine believed to hold the remains of the apostle  Saint James .   The Camino is popular for its historical and spiritual significance, attracting both religious pilgrims and those seeking personal reflection or a physical challenge.   We invite you to follow our journey as we walk over 800 Km in less  than 6 weeks.  In the meantime, we are busy getting our bodies (and Feet) conditioned  to walk an average of 15 miles per day.   Stay tuned for more posts and Buen Camino!

We have arrived in France

We have arrived in St Jean Pied de Port, France! What a long 28 hours of travel with very little sleep…. 3 hour drive to Boston Logan airport. 6 hour flight from Boston to Madrid. 1/2 hour taxi ride to Madrid Train station. 2 hour wait for our train. 1 and 1/2 hour train ride to Zaragoza with only a few minutes to run ( or in our case walking very fast) to our connecting, only to get there and find it is delayed …phew! Next up a 2 hour train ride to Pamplona. Lastly an hour and a half taxi ride from Pamplona Spain to St Jean France… it was amazing as our driver kept pointing out the trail as we past it … “Look, El Camino!”🤣 We settled in our room, showered and washed our clothes then went to dinner and found some interesting wine to drink together. All in all we are tired but very excited for our hike to start on Friday. Our first comino family we met at the airport in Boston, they are from Biddeford Maine!! Train rides had the most beautiful landscapes but we are definitely weary tra...
