Majorka was for me very underestimate destination - I thought that this island is only for beach loafers. That was really big mistake! This was our second trip only on foot and I can recommend it to everyone who is not beginner and who has some experiences. We went from Sant Elm to Soller (+- 85 km), track was hard because of bad rainy weather, so it was dangerous - dry stones changed to wet and every step was like going on soap floor. There was no chance how to finished GR221, even bus from Lluc was stopped because of wheater. So we moved to San Picaford (eastern coast) and there we started GR 222, which is no less beautiful and wheater there was better (+- 55 km). People there are pleasant, nature very very beautiful, food excellent, accommodation very various in comfort and also prices, we tried everything from sleeping outside to 4* superb hotel - each way was magnificent. Thumbs up for Majorka :)

We had booked a self-guided tour on the Portuguese Camino with Walks in Spain for September 2020 having been very happy with the arrangements they made for our 2008 Sarria to Santiago trip. My wife and I are both in our 70’s and have become very anxious with the Coronavirus about travelling. I called Paul to express our concerns expecting to at least forfeit our deposit and was pleasantly surprised when after explaining that we couldn’t rebook for next year he offered to return our deposit. I am impressed with the integrity and professionalism of this company, thank you Paul.

My wife and I have visited Vigo on a number of occasions and finally managed to visit the Cies Islands this summer and we are glad we did. The boat trip there is fantastic but when you reach the islands you are in for an even bigger treat. Lovely beaches, great walks and views from the cliff tops and also feeling very close to nature and the power of the sea as the Atlantic Ocean crashes into the islands on the west coast. Our only mistake was that we did book a later ferry for our return journey and we would have liked to stay longer and explore the islands further.
6. Catedral De Burgos

The model of construction for the Cathedral in Burgos was the Cathedral in Saint-Denis, although the architects were not from France. Simply French Gothic was an example of the genre in the XIII century, when king Fernando III decided to build this greatest Cathedral. However, the Gothic style is mostly outside. Renaissance and Baroque dominate the interior. The reason is trivial - the Cathedral was built for a long time and constantly rebuilt. The entrance is separate for Catholics through the Western portal, and for tourists from the southern side through the Puerta Sarmental for 8 euros. It's worth it! The main hit in the Catholic part of the Cathedral is the crucifix, which was allegedly made by Nicodemus, who removed Christ from the cross (in fact, the XIV century). Catholics believe that nails and crowns are the same , and hair and nails still grow, so every week they have to do a manicure. The other chapels are located in the tourist part of the Cathedral. We need to take an audio guide for a detailed introduction. I found the most interesting several chapels. The Capilla de la precentacion (#8 in the audio guide) is interesting with the hyperrealistic tombstone of the Capella's client, Gonzalo Diaz de Lerma, and the painting "the Holy family"by Sebastian del Piombo. Chapel of Santa Anna (#12), created by the German Juan de cologna, who built the spires of the Cathedral. The main masterpiece is the altar dedicated to the genealogy of St. Anna of Jesse, the father of king David. Gilles de Siloé created this altar. He also began creating an altar for the chapel of the Constable (#22). This is the burial place of the most powerful man in Castile after the king constable de Velasco. The tombstones of de Velasco and his wife, as well as the altar of the chapel are made in the Renaissance style. Of course you can't pass by Capilla Major. The altar of the chapel is made by the brothers Rodrigo and Martín de la Haya in the Mannerist style. In addition to the chapels, the Golden staircase is a masterpiece of the Cathedral. Escalera dorada was created by Gil de Siloé's son Diego de Siloé. It leads to the street, which is 8 meters higher than the floor of the Cathedral, but it is not visible because the doors are never opened. The center of the Cathedral is given to the main Shrine-the grave of the hero of Spain CID and his wife Ximena. CID (real name Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar) became a hero of the Reconquista a century after his death in 1099. Castilian biographers changed the biography of the Castilian knight retroactively. They changed the CID's capture of Valencia for themselves to a liberation for the king of Castile. Biographers kept silent about the campaigns of CID with the Moors against the Christians. Sid's wife Jimena was exiled from Valencia and she took her husband's bones and moved North. After visiting many places, the hero's relics were laid to rest in the Cathedral of Burgos in 1921 under a modest pink slab. The magnificent stalls of the choir Renaissance Plateresque work by Bigarny are located near the CID`s tomb. You need to get acquainted with the Cathedral Museum and two cloisters on the way out of the Cathedral. It's not as impressive as the main part, but it's still interesting.

I would recommend to stay at least a night in the hotel on site. Unfortunately we went for the day from Zaragoza and could not enjoy to the full extent this wonderful park and monastery. The restaurant Piedra Vieja was offering a fixed menu for 13 euros that include three course of decent quality. Driving to this place is a beautiful journey too the landscape is magical. Do no miss it!
