Camino de San Salvador, Stage 2: La Robla to Poladura de la Tercia, 23.6km

The videos are like mini poems, which share a structure and a methodology, but then towards the midle and end there are surprises and changes to the monotony of the walk that makes each lag and each video different - like the wolf or the unexpected wait on a small hill for serving in the next town.🌻🐛

Love the way this episode ends with the flock of sheep and the sheep dog. Gorgeous scenery on this route.

I really liked that ending too!! :)

I've enjoyed your videos for some time, Nadine, so would like to thank you. I can relate to your preference to be solitude - although I see you as a more "extreme" introvert version of me :D I tend to socialize more when the vibe is there. Not during the walks, where I normally starts late, have short chats with everyone, when I pass them, and then socialize in the evening, so I walk in solitude most of the day. I am impressed how well prepared you are, knowing about the opening hours of key shops during your walks. I totally go with the flow, but sometimes has to pay more, when the cheap (and fun) places are closed or fully booked. I know you love Spain, but I would recommend you to try out the walk from Oslo to Trondheim (the Norwegian Pilgrimage). Less people but I am sure it's right up your alley. Staying in authentic Norwegian houses, the nature, the culture, the history, and the most charming Norwegians (I know it's cliché saying this as a Dane, but they are!). I loved it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5SylGWHob17ebM

Really enjoyed this one Nadine. You chattering away to us through a typical Camino day, a mix of getting the logistics right, enjoying the scenery, and the odd weird and wonderful moment ( wolf and sheep).

I'm really loving how you've been weaving through different Camino routes this Summer. It provides a nice visual spectrum of landscapes, etc. Cheers!

[@andya1976m]

Oh, yes! I remember every step!! 💞 And I stay in the same place, the same table in the hostel 😍 Thank you!!

[@fixerofthings]

Absolutely lovely, thanks for sharing the next leg of your adventure.

What a surprise that you are in that area so familiar to me. I know the area I live in Gijon (Asturias) but I have an apartment in Villamanin, near Poladura de la Tercia, for 30 years. Don't worry about the wild animals, the biggest danger are the feral dogs that are abandoned by the shepherds. But there have been no attacks for many years. I follow your blog and share your passion for the Camino. Asturias is one of the most beautiful regions of Spain, a real natural paradise. Do you know the project of Camino de los Derechos Humanos presented a few days ago in Oviedo?

This stage looks so beautiful!!!

[@NadineWalks]

It really was!!

[@robinharbidge5694]

This is a most enjoyable blog. The countryside is beautiful. What resources do you use to know what time the shops open and access to restaurants etc. well done peregrina.

[@patrickmooney4135]

Well, that was amazing... This is a great series. Thanks.

[@NadineWalks]

Thanks so much Patrick, I'm glad you're enjoying it!

[@RobertTorres_robtor15]

I love your videos! I was wondering how hard was it to find water in this stage and in general for the San Salvador?

[@PJ_Hawke]

Glorious!

[@Test-uj6nh]

I like how theres not too many people on the walk...

Hey Nadine. What do you do for cell service? I have a provider that does not have international coverage so while I was on the Frances I used a Vodaphone eSim service. However, I could only call people on Whatsapp so typically calling ahead to make a reservation was not an option unless they had a whatsapp account.

[@NadineWalks]

Lately I've also been using an eSim, though I also only had data (and no calling/texting). For a Camino when you don't need to call ahead or make reservations it's not a big deal, but it can be a hassle when you need to make a call. When I've gotten a physical SIM card I've often gotten a new number so that option could let you make calls (I'm currently trying to figure this out for my upcoming trip to Norway- I'll need to be able to make phone calls and the eSIM options are only showing me data plans! So I might need to get myself to a shop once I'm there to switch out the physical SIM).

[@rickhough]

@@NadineWalks Thanks for the response. Lol or I guess not lol I broke 2 ribs so have had to delay my Camino!

The Cantabrian mountains are plenty of wolves, but don't worry, they would never dare to attack humans. Be careful with boars and bears.
