Day 26: Astorga to Foncebadón | Camino Frances 2019 | Camino de Santiago

[@jessicaoliviatravels]

Something so spiritual and sentimental that just puts your soul at peace when I watch your journey. I often catch myself pondering off and feeling grateful many times and when I watch your camino videos, it ‘takes you there’...if that even makes any sense at all. Something about those sunrises or sunsets and the solo peace you have when all you have is yourself. Lovely video. Thanks for another day you have taken us along! 🤗😊💕

Thank you so much for this comment! I pray you can make the journey one day. It brings something unique to each person and is a memory for a lifetime. 👣🙏❤️❤️❤️

Lighting at sunrise and sunset seem to the best along the Camino. Ellen de Generis on the Camino (hahaha) That's the second pizza I've seen on your vlog I'd like to have 😂 Stay healthy and safe. God bless!

[@IllGetThere]

AXEL!!!! :D How are you, my friend? I hope you are doing well and staying healthy. Yes, that pizza was a treat after that long walk uphill! I am truly blessed to have met you and to have walked with you for a bit of the journey. What a time it was--I'm so glad I decided to take the leap. Thanks for watching and Buen Camino to you!! And p.s. I didn't get to go to Salamanca, but drove through it on my long bus ride back to Madrid. It really was beautiful! Be well, my friend and Ultreia!! :)

My friend!! 😃 You have the patience of a saint, lol!! 😄❤️ I’m certain I met the people I was supposed to meet and my Camino was so much richer for having met you. I hope you are doing well, staying safe and sane! Thank you so much for following along and, always, Buen Camino!!! 🙏👣

Loving watching your Camino, hopefully get to go myself next year, thank you for sharing your journey, love from Liverpool UK

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much for following along!! I hope you make your journey soon. Until then, be well and Buen Camino!! 👣

[@trajanaugustus8783]

I walked the same time as you but stopped at Santo Domigo de La Calzada. I did see you in Puenta la Rena at the Jakue Hotel/Alburgue during dinner. I was going to finish my Camino in May 2020 but of course that got put on hold due to the "you know what". At least I can watch the Camino with your excellent videos until I can re-schedule to go back. Thanks for the upload, and Buen Camino!

[@IllGetThere]

Hope you can finish soon! Stay safe! Buen Camino!

[@m.vianna2737]

I look forward to your videos. My wife and i, went this route from april to may of 2019. Here is Miguel, from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Hugs!

[@IllGetThere]

Obrigado, Miguel! Thank you so much for following along. More to come. Buen Camino! 👣

[@johnduncan9749]

Up a hill then another and its always worth it:) and pizza! Nice:)

[@IllGetThere]

Agreed!

[@davidmendiola5828]

Very nice video. Thanks again for sharing. Last time I was there more alburgues were being built. Looks like you stayed in one of the newer ones. I can't believe you have 4 dislikes on this video. What do they expect? Cecil B. DeMille?

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! Yes, the rooms and the bathroom seemed very much newer or perhaps just recently renovated. It was a great stay! As for the dislikes, I try not to let them get to me-these videos are my own memories and my diary of one of the most poignant journeys (physically and figuratively) of my life thus far. And I’m glad others have found something positive in them, as well. I appreciate your support! Be well and Buen Camino! 👣

[@davidmendiola5828]

@@IllGetThere When you were leaving Astorga and said you might go to the Cruz that evening I thought you might not make it because it is a persistent climb to Foncebadon. I read somewhere that the Cruz is the second highest point on the Camino Frances. Can't wait to see you at the Cruz. When I have been there it's almost like being in a church.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you. I think I made the right decision to wait until morning because it was exactly the kind of dark, quiet peace I needed to reflect as I made my way to the cross. As such, I really did make most of that climb and time at the Cruz in my thoughts and heart. But the silhouetted sight of the other pilgrims was something to behold. Very, very special milestone.

[@Rkolb2798]

Had a thought , do you need to bring your own cloth pegs / pins , or are they supplied ? Cheers

[@IllGetThere]

I used binder clips since I didn’t want to poke holes in my clothes. Most places had clothespins but you run the risk of them running out of lots of people are doing laundry.

[@Rkolb2798]

@@IllGetThere hey good to see you back , ready for the off to somewhere nice ?

[@francesplazabashark7148]

Hi. Been waiting for this video! Thank you. Did you mention where you stayed in Foncebadon? I think I missed it. Fall of next year my first. God willing. Stay safe.

[@IllGetThere]

Thank you so much! The albergue is El Convento. The info is in the description box. More videos to come! Stay safe, be well, and Buen Camino! 👣

[@francesplazabashark7148]

@@IllGetThere oh thank you so much. Been looking at my guidebooks where it is. Stay safe🙏

[@IllGetThere]

You, too! 🙏

[@IllGetThere]

I found many of my accommodations on Booking.com, too. Even if you don’t book through them, you can see some photos and read reviews. And try not to book too far ahead-it’s nice to have flexibility if you decide to stay elsewhere. 😊👍

[@francesplazabashark7148]

@@IllGetThere That's the plan, booking day ahead and maybe a couple of days out closer to Santiago since it get busier. Take my time and not rushing. But then, just don't know what it will be like next year. Hope and pray for the best. Thanks again.❤
