Nancy et Jacques, I just stumbled upon your video journey and I am loving your commentary. Merci beaucoup! I think you would absolutely love the casa rural Molino Galochas in Villavante, a day or day and a half outside León. It’s on the Villar de Mazarife alternativo path. Mercedes, the innkeeper, is a gem. It’s an old mill house in one of the most romantic settings on the Camino. (Why do I think of Armand Gamache when I hear your husband?! 😘) Bon chemin.
@blueskynancy3396 Ай бұрын
Hi and thank you for your comments. I am glad you are enjoying the commentary. I am taking note of your suggestion for Villavante. We will definitely go upon our return to finish the camino. Thank you for taking the time to share this info with us. Where are you from? We both did not know Armand Gamache. Had to google it. LOL. We added the serie to our watch list now. It must be the gray beard and the accent. :-)
@MacitaRenita Ай бұрын
@@blueskynancy3396 I live in northern New Mexico. Although I haven’t seen the series, I’m reading the mystery novels about the Québécois detective Gamache, and in my imagination, he sounds like your husband. Take care.

Hi back Nancy, we live in the outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. I am already planning our return visit to the Camino Frances for next year. Mostly using the accommodation reviews from the Wise Pilgrim app to select but it’s not comprehensive enough. That is why your videos are so valuable to me because most of the others don’t even show them let alone name them. I absolutely agree with you about booking ahead, I booked everything last year and plan to do the same again for our return. I’m also impressed with your photography skills. I need to improve my ability to utilise my iPhones capabilities to its full extent. Looking forward to seeing that future video on your accommodations. Thanks again Darryl and Janet.
@blueskynancy3396 Ай бұрын
Thank you again for the compliment on my photography. Easier to snap pictures than to do the videos. Walking and holding the iphone and staying steady is always a challenge while making sure you don't trp. LOL. The review video will likely be released only in a few weeks when we return home. We have a couple weeks of visiting family in Quebec city first.
@DarrylBoucher-vz8kr Ай бұрын
Thanks I’ll check them out. Enjoying you showing your accommodations. My wife and I walked the Frances last June/July and also stayed in private rooms. Our plan is to return this time next year and repeat the journey however taking more time and like yourselves staying more off stage. Really love the look of Posada Ignatius in Navarrete for example. Loving your journey. Cheers Darryl and Janet Australia.

Hi Daryl and Janet! Where are you from in Australia? I lived in Adelaide for 10 years back in the late 80s. I love Australia. So glad you found the videos useful. We actually plan to do a future video talking about our favorite accommodations. Booking ahead is the way to go.

Last year I simply winged it for accommodation and it was great but, I found myself worried and preoccupied with concerns about where I might stay. This year, like you guys, I’ve booked ahead because I want private rooms and bathrooms, and I don’t want to have to be thinking about that all the time. I guess winging it works for younger folks and those who want the communal experience, but I’m a crusty old geezer and may have a tendency to being a rather generous snorer! 🤣 Buen Camino, both of you.

@pickingupsticks6767 Ай бұрын
@@blueskynancy3396 It was a first communion. Many young people do their first communion on the Feast of Corpus Christi. And then form part of the procession through town of the blessed eucharist. The Feast of Corpus Christi is a holy day of obligation for catholics and celebrates the real body of christ in the eucharist. It’s a big day across Spain. Wonderful to be in Navarrete on Corpus Christi. I was there during Easter holy week a few years ago and that too was a real treat. My favourite church on the camino.
