Camino Frances, Astorga to Santiago de Compostela, 29 February 2016 - 9 March 2016

28 March 2016. Hello this is a  collection of photographs taken on the Camino Frances. I had just spent over four weeks walking from Seville to Astorga.  I will update my website shortly.

 There were days when the rain prevented me from using the camera it was tucked away in the backpack. A few of these photographs were taken with my phone. Generally you will notice that I have very few photographs of Pilgrims faces, I think it is important to respect the privacy of Pilgrims on the Camino.

I have also completed a special Via de la Plata section this is the direct link 2016 Via de la Plata

A good way to view the photographs is to click on a image (the first image) that images appears in larger size, you then can flick through the images, you can use the right hand arrow on your keyboard.

Please feel free to share this post on whatever social media you use, this indeed would be helpful to me.
