We did a walk of about 15 miles after a break of a few weeks. Although it's not a huge distance the total elevation was over 3,000 feet on uneven ground and I can feel the pain in my leg muscles. It's good for me.
Sunday 30th January
There is a hint of Spring in the air today. I can feel the warmth of the Sun. The days are longer.

I've found a new Camino.
I've stumbled across this Camino route somewhere near Malaga. Maybe it could be an interesting 'warm up' prior to walking the Via de la Plata again. I can't see any alburgues up there though.

I read an interesting poem on the Solitary Walker's blog

Living
The fire in leaf and grass
so green it seems
each summer the last summer.
The wind blowing, the leaves
shivering in the sun,
each day the last day.
A red salamander
so cold and so
easy to catch, dreamily
moves his delicate feet
and long tail. I hold
my hand open for him to go.
Each minute the last minute.

Some photos soon, Andrew.

Via de la Plata November 2008, Monesterio to Caceres.
I recently found these photos which I thought were lost forever. This is my first walking Camino, the previous 2 were done on a mountain bike on the Camino Frances. I spent a few days in Sevilla before getting the early bus to Monesterio and after a Cafe con leche or 3 started walking just after sunrise on 13th November 2008.
