The hottest day on the Camino de Santiago in Catalonia, Spain | From Pont de Bar to Seu d’Urgell
We had a very good night at the camping Pont d’Ardaix, it was thunderstorming a bit in the evening again but then it was all calm and quiet. For the day 3 we planned to do the same distance again as all the previous days – around 20 kms. And our final point was the town of Seu d’Urgell in the province of Lleida. We did realize that the trail probably would be quite challenging and hard because of the mountains around us and the extreme July heat that was staying with us everyday. So we wanted to get ready as quickly as possible and to conquer the main mountain…

Camino de Santiago in Catalonia, Spain – Day 2 | From Isovol to Pont de Bar
Last night it was raining and thunderstorming a lot so we got up a bit late that day. But we were glad that at least it’s not raining during the day. We planned to make 20 kms the same distance as yesterday to the next campground near Pont de Bar. Our muscles were quite sore after the first day of the hike so it was more difficult to start moving. We were running out of the food supplies so we had to hurry up to the supermarket to buy fruit and veggies. And it was the only shop we’ll meet in the next 2 days so we had to make…

Camino de Santiago in Catalonia, Spain – Day 1 | From Llivia to Isovol
It was our first day of Cami de Sant Jaume or Catalan Camino de Santiago. The plan was to do the 80 kms in 4 days and get from Llivia village in the province of Girona to Organya in the province of Lleida.

It is just a part of the whole Camino de Santiago that can be taken starting from Pyrenees in Spain and moving towards the city of Pamplona where it joins the French Way. That day we planned to…

First stormy and rainy day getting to Zarautz | Day 5 of Camino del Norte
On the 5th day we woke up in the camping after a good sleep, but we got up late because of the hard previous day and because yesterday night the people were quite noisy. This camping was the most crowded that we’ve been on this way so far. And we had no electricity included in the price so we had to charge all of our gear in the shower room staying there like for an hour or so. In the morning after we had our breakfast and were ready to go the rain started so we had to wait for it to calm down. We were stuck in the camping…
