Hola!
I’m Alison, the writer behind Alison on Foot. Welcome to my website where I’ll be sharing my travel adventures with you.
Since 2017 I’ve been living in Andalucia and in 2022 I walked my first Camino – the Central route of the Camino Portugués from Porto to Santiago de Compostela.
That was enough for me to be bitten by the Camino bug so expect lots of Camino content (I’m currently planning my fourth) and plenty of posts from southern Spain and beyond.
Happy travels!
