Day 13, Carrion de los Condes to

26.8km
The names of our departure and arrival towns would not fit into today's title space. Spain has a lot of similar place names. The name tells the story.
Carrion de los Condes to Terradillos de los Templarios. Carrion was a pleasant town while Terradillos is a tiny nothing (pop 80). We are staying at very nice albergue named Jacques de Molay. The village was a stronghold of the Knights Templar and the albergue name was the last Grand Master of the Order.
Somewhat of a dull day on the trail. Flat path ahead and flat all around us. A long stretch of 17km with no facilities, apart from a welcomed coffee cart. Chatted to some new people and continued conversations with familiar faces. We are a day ahead of our schedule so most of the faces we saw on day 1 are behind us.
Back to Carrion. We went to a guitar concert last night. Very accomplished musicians playing Spanish and 1 Chinese composition. The last piece was with 4 guitars which is something I had not heard before.
We have a few more dull days ahead and then into Leon to experience city delights. Terradillos is roughly the half way mark for the pilgrims who started in France. Slightly less than 400km for us.Read more
