Camino Frances day 6: Los Arcos to Logroño (27,8km)
Today the whole group woke up an hour later, at 6, and after eating breakfast, started out around sunrise. In the early morning, we were going with tens of other pilgrims through long and empty fields. I captured the sunrise in the picture with Jasmine hiking in the front. Once we got to Torres del…

Camino Frances day 5: Lorca to Los Arcos (29,8km)
A group of 4 ninjas woke up at 5am today and we were ready in 30 minutes for nighttime hiking. The stars were visible even from inside the village. Outside the village, we went across large plains with a meteor shower happening right above. It was such a magical journey. However, finding all the route…

Camino Frances day 1: Saint-Jean-Pier-de-Port to Roncesvalles (25,6km)
Probably the hardest day of the journey because of the mountains. I got a pilgrim passport the night before. It costed only 2€ and the volunteers at the pilgrims’ office were really helpful. When I arrived at my accommodation, I was the last person in my room to arrive. The other seven people in the…
