Castilian Plains to Galician Terrains

Grain fields in Navarra

Poppies in the fields near Burgos

After the long flat walks across the hot, dry, sunny Castilian plains, the Camino starts climbing into the mountains as you prepare to enter Galicia. You know when you get to Galicia because everything turns green and wet. : ) The morning walks are misty, damp and very refreshing. The forests, valleys and hills are enchanting; truly a place for fairytales and Celtic stories.

Hola Tim,

It seems you and I were on the Camino at the same time. I started on July 24th, I, my wife, and 30 of the 40 students that I took to Spain to study in Logroño. But, unlike lucky you, we only did four days, from Oreaga (Roncesvalles) to Estella. I already have plans to do the entire pilgrimage in three years. Want to come along?

¡Buen Camino!
