Day 16 - Hontanas (the Meseta)

Our easiest ride so far - despite stopping at every village for a coffee we still arrived too early for lunch. Would have been nice to cover more distance, but there are limited accommodation options on this part of the route and we can't get our bags transferred more than 60km.
On the plus side, we're staying in Hontanas, a lovely little village that seems to be prospering due to all of the Camino traffic.
Rather than having a relaxing afternoon enjoying the sun, we ('I') decided a 'little' walk would be nice. We saw an advert for a 'music event' in the next village, so decided to go and have a look. Two hours later, the walk had turned into a 5 mile hike and village was completely deserted. However, it did give us a taste of 'walking' the Camino, and got us up to a respectable number of miles.
