• More layered landscapes on the wonderful

    June 10, 2023 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    Another perfect day of big skies, no rain and warm but not hot temperatures. Castrojeriz to Fromista.
    The Camino provided so many gifts today. More of my treasured layers landscapes, new birds (great reed warbler, stone chat), frogs, 11th century churches and a great vegan albérgue - tho this was at lunch time unfortunately still leaving me with a less than vegetarian evening meal.
    After a steep climb we passed another monastery albergue, this time run by the Italian Confraternity. Tiny and candlelit but not quite so ruined. Again I’d love to stay there if I am lucky enough to be able to walk again.
    Mostly flat earth paths today so easy walking - but totalling about 26 km. Amazingly didn’t feel tired at the end but I’m very tired now.
    Tiny albergue tonight (Vicus) in Fromista but we have our own room.
    Dinner with Sheryl and Janice - great company - food not so much but my fault as I chose wrong.
