Forest

The Belorado to Agés stage on the Camino de Santiago turned into a long, 28+ km trek, offering a mix of easy terrain, a challenging climb and peaceful forest paths.

Ahhh, last day, 20 km only. And the total ascent was very soft, nothing hard. The morning/breakfast is already slightly described in the previous post, nothing else to mention. In general this day went by very fast. Only by mid-distance we reached the first city – Viana. The rest of the route passes through camps…

What a day! Out of the 6 hours we were moving, I think we were under somewhat heavy rain 5 hours. About the night, all good. Comfortable beds, clean bathrooms, good service although laundry services a little too expensive – 7 euros per bag. Other than the rain during the day, the route passes through…

The morning was hard. We got a the world champion of snoring near right near us and I barely felt asleep at around 1am and woke up many times until 5-ish when I no longer could sleep until 6, when someone’s alarm rang. Somehow that snoring guy stopped and I managed to sleep until 7.…

Ok, hard night. I woke up many many times… After having a quick breakfast, we started the walk at 8am. Crossing the city we enter a somewhat long asphalt road going up slowly. After about 7 km we enter the off-road path and start the heaviest uphill at about 10th km. We reach and cross…

Rainy day 😂😂 luckily it was a short one. First, about the dinner and breakfast. The starter had maybe a 50% portion of hummus , for two people, with two 5-6cm sticks of bread. As main dish there was a vegetable soup, very likely to be frozen vegetables and only boiled some time. For second,…

Well, this day was much nicer than the previous one. Much more wild and beautiful. Straight from the start we enter a nice path through a forest. It’s kind of short but energizing to start the day with. Overall, the entire day passed through nice areas, with many nice views and trails. It was mostly…

First day of the walk. As mentioned in the previous post, today was about the “backup” route, or winter route. Veeeerryyy boring, long distances on asphalt and sharing the road with cars. The entire distance is mostly going up, with the last kilometers having a steeper incline. Only the last 1.5 km is all going…

Managed to squeeze in a short and easy hike yesterday afternoon 🙂

This was kind of an unplanned hike. I decided to postpone the Santiago Way for later. Instead, I’ll join a group of people and we’ll do the Mont Blanc circular route, which is about 160 km and 7k total ascent. For this purpose I bought some new shoes from Salewa and wanted to test them.…
