15.-20.5.2014 Barcelona and Bilbao

Lingering

Even my original plan was finishing the trip in Fatima by taking a bus from Santiago (thus the name of the blog), I decided to linger instead in Barcelona and Bilbao. It doesn't mean I have given up the plan of visiting Fatima, I am just postponing it for the time being. 
One of the reasons for that is that I have really fell in love with the Camino and its spirit and think that just taking a bus to Fatima wouldn't be enough so I am seriously considering doing the so called Camino Portuguese (maybe next year) including a stop at Fatima.
I have thus prolonged my stay in Spain until 21st of May with focus on what I like the most: visiting art galleries and architecture.
