FYI--Camino France Mileage Updates




Camino France is some 778km long, starting either in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port (“St. John at the Foot of the Pass”) on the French side of both the mountains and the border or 27km later in Roncesvalles (Roncevaux in French, the “Valley of Thorns”) in Spain. It passes through Pamplona, Puente la Reina, Estella, Logroño, Burgos, León, Astorga, Ponferrada and Sarria before it reaches the “City of the Apostle” in the western reaches of Galicia.

Well, my intention is to walk to Santiago and then on to Finisterre which is another 100 km. So I shall see what each moment, step, day brings. What a metaphor for life!

Bon Chemin!
Buen Camino!

P.S. Next day report...the proof is in the massage...which I had the next afternoon! Muscles were pretty dang good! And showed where I need to pay attention when I'm walking! Thank you awesome body -- we'll do well on Camino! Body is saying But what about sleeping in the hostel beds :-| ?
