Day 13 Santa Cruz de Bezana to Requejada +-21km’s

Image
We got up around 5ish as we thought a 27km day was upon us but that was not to be. I was delighted only doing 21km’s as I’m really tired at the moment. There were thunder showers around and I was wondering if we could avoid them. My only concern was hail. The climate here is like Johannesburg in summer. We walked from Santa Cruz de Bezana to Mompía and managed to see a beautiful sunrise. The walk through Boo was beautiful and as for the rest it was pretty much boring road. We checked in at the Albergue de Peregrinos Clara Camp. Sadly it’s not maintained properly. The early morning in Santa Cruz de Bezana. Iglesia de Santa Cruz de Bezana Mompía Just case you’re not sure. Off to Bóo. Spoilt with cloud formations today. Bóo station Nature never fails to impress us. Only 560km’s... Iglesia de Santa Maria in Arce. It almost rained. Río Pas Random things I see. Door of the Day. A little forest The Albergue for the night.

Day 12 Güemes to Santa Cruz de Bezana +-26km

We stayed in one of the most beautiful Albergues on the Camino so far. Albergue La Cabaña del abuelo Peu is the place to stay in Güemes. After breakfast we were greeted with the most amazing sunrise. We initially walked on the road to Galizano. Crossing the beach to Somo was awesome. How fortunate to be walking on a beach two days in a row. We stopped for food and some rehydration before climbing on the Ferry to Santander. I knew staying in Santander was out of the question as the mileage for the day was too low. It’s all about #WalkingForLife and I’m on a schedule. We walked out of town along a busy road to Peñacastillo, stopped at bar as it was very hot this afternoon. I did not enjoy the walk to Santa Cruz de Bezana but this time I have a hotel bed in the Camargo hotel. Sunrise this morning at Albergue La Cabaña del abuelo Peu. I don’t believe these signs as they are all different. Gorgeous views on the way to Galizano. A random driveway. Iglesia de Nuestra In Galizano. Then you...
