Camino day 7 to Villafranca Montes de Oca

Gorgeous morning with a hot air balloon in the distance to start my journey today. No large cities today, I walked though 7 villages sampling coffee ,  and croissant with sausage at one. I need to improve my Spanglish! My pack felt heavy for the first time, probably due to poor sleep and lots of km previous days. Took it easy and decided to stay at Villafranca at 28km of walking for the day. The albergue is attached to a fancy hotel San Anton Abad and is luxury for 15€. You get a blanket and Wi-Fi! 

Church in Belorado




I went down the street after cleaning up and had a meal with beans and Jamon(ham), black sausage, crusty bread and red wine. Ready for an early night. 

Total Camino km after 7 days : 250

Camino day 22 to Santiago

Image
  Walking into the plaza facing the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela felt strangely surreal. Thoughts and expectations of what would the Camino be like, would I be strong enough, will I stay well, will I find somewhere to sleep?  How would I feel when I reached Santiago?  I felt overjoyed in completing the pilgrimage, I was amazed by the Cathedral and the tomb of Saint James, and grateful that the journey had delivered the simplicity of life as a pilgrim that I imagined.  At the start of the pilgrimage you are provided with your Credencial (pilgrims passport) which allows you to stay in the albergues, and is proof of your journey as you get it stamped at churches, places of interest, cafes and albergues along the way. You are also provided with suggested stages for each day usually 20-30km per day.  Most pilgrims follow the suggested stages, and many book accommodation a few days ahead, however I preferred to walk a little further most days and stay in “off s...
