We are arriving in Spain again, hiking another Camino.
Today will be a combination of trains planes and buses. We left before the sun was up. Our valet, Al’s brother Brian dropped us off with plenty of time at the train station. Once in NYC we had some time to kill. We decided on a diner for breakfast. We had a nice relaxing breakfast at the Tick Tock Diner. Food and service were excellent and I would definitely recommend this place. The diner is just a few blocks down from Penn Station. After that we roamed around a bit, ended up in Times Square. It has been raining so we decided to head back to the train station.
We will won’t arrive until around midnight by my watch but it will only be 6 am in Spain . The day will just be starting and we will be dog tired.





This time we hope to complete the Camino del Norte, certainly not the more popular route due to it being more rugged. By some it is considered one of the most beautiful as it follows the coast line before turning inland to Santiago. Some say it also has the best food, I personally can’t wait for the tapas!
We will again start at the border between France and Spain, this time in a small border town called Irún. We will meander through 4 separate regions in Spain, starting in the Basque Country then Cantabria and Asturias and finally Galicia. This time we are determined to make it to Finisterre. In times past the Romans believed it was the end of the world. The name derives from the Latin finis terrae, meaning “ end of the earth”.
Until next time, be well.
Have a great journey together! I look forward to seeing you both conquer the challenge.
