Final day and our impressions on Camino de Santiago in Catalonia, Spain – Day 4
On our fourth and final day of Cami de Sant Jaume in Catalonia we were quite tired already after previous extremely hot days but we had a quiet night in the camping Gran Sol in Seu d’Urgell and were ready to do the final stretch of this hike today. After having bought so many food yesterday(cause we were very hungry) we had to carry with us more extra weight and we were really worried whether we would be able to complete this 20+ kms stretch or not. But we hoped that the weather and the trail would work in our favor. We needed to get to the town Organya where…

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.

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 also called the Camino del Segre, because it follows the stream of the river Segre all the way through crossing the region of Cerdanya and Alt Urgell. 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…
