Carrion to Terradilos Templarios - 26km

An earlier start leaving Carrión, still frosty. With 26km of open Meseta ahead, we wanted to beat the heat. The hotel gave us a picnic breakfast to eat on the road. We stopped at an overgrown picnic site at the 8km mark.

The Meseta was a mix of dirt tracks and gravel paths stretching through pretty wheat fields. Some trees brought about plenty of bugs, bees and wasps. Nature at its best, it was so peaceful.

Arrived in Terradillos de los Templarios around lunch time. It’s a very small village. Nothing opened, other than the albergue we stayed in. We caught up with a few familiar faces we’d seen along our journey. We joined the pilgrims dinner, staple offerings once again, soup, bread, pork, fish and ice cream. Not too much Spanish food in sight, until we get to Leon. Looking forward to that in a couple of days.

22km ahead today and finally we reach the OFFICIAL HALF WAY MARK!! Feeling pretty damn good about that!

Not too many photos today as the scenery didn’t really change.Read more
