This was a rest day, we only walked about 6 km to our lodging on the far side of Carrión de los Condes. It was also a splurge night: I had reserved a room in a hotel that was inside an old monastery in Carriòn, it was a four-star and super nice, but it cost less than a Comfort Inn in the US.Lue lisää

Matkaaja San Zoilo❤️❤️❤️ such a restful, beautiful place. Hope you got to tour the museum, supposedly only open to guests? And what a beautiful place to hear Bach’s Goldberg variation #1…honestly, I feel I’m walking with you guys…

Matkaaja Ana, we did not get to tour the museum because we were there on a Sunday and it was closed on Sunday afternoons! It’s a little disappointing, but otherwise the place was fantastic

Carrión dl Condes to Calzadilla dl Cueza

Our walk today was 17 1/2 km with no intermediate stops other than the bus that you see in the pictures. These are the kind of days that you hope to find well screened areas off the road to use in lieu of porta-potties, for some reason in Europe it seems that people don’t plan for restroom facilities so often as they do back home. It has been raining prior to our start but when we walked, it was just cloudy and quite cool.

The town, where we’re staying is a small farming community with the addition of three albergues.Lue lisää

Calzadilla to Terradillos dl Templarios

Our walking day was shorter than I had thought it would be because I made a math error when doing the itinerary. But I t was nice to have another short day.
We walked mostly on gravel paths and some tractor roads between villages.
We saw a lot of Adobe buildings and walls, and also noticed that many tractors were parked inside the small villages, quite different from the isolated farms where tractors are normally kept in the US - I remembered this difference from sociology class, but the social implications are quite interestingLue lisää

Matkaaja That building looks so isolated.

Sahagún to El Burgo Ranero

I didn’t take any photos today, it was wet and cold, and I was just wanting to walk fast to get warm. I am including a couple of photos that Roel took of me that show the wet conditions on the trails.
We walked from the monastery albergue in Sahagún to a nice little albergue in El Burgo Ranero, just about 18 km. We had to use a hairdryer to try to dry our shoes and socks and other things enough so that maybe they’ll be dry by morning. Oh, and I ate the most delicious vegetarian meal I’ve had so far, check out the picture!Lue lisää

Matkaaja 😆 yes, I suppose it would have been, but it was also pretty cold, so we tried to avoid getting more wet! 😂
