Rabe de las Calzadas to Castrojeriz

The hostel last night was fantastic. The hospilardo could not do enough. Today was a late start as the we had breakfast. We set off into the start of the Meseta in overcast weather. It was only 8C.

Keith and I carried on following the trail on clay paths and after a short time later the rain caught up with us.
This turned the path into sticky clay (am I selling this adventure to you?) We just carried on until Hontanas appeared after 18kms.

We stopped for a coffee and tortilla. We quickly set off in the torrential rain to the beautiful Castrojeriz.
We arrived at 2.30pm (28kms) and settled into a very busy Albergue.

Outside it continues to rain hard and the temperature is 6C. It’s not quite what I envisaged.

Tonight we have a communal dinner before an early night.

Tomorrow promises another round of rain and cold weather as I walk to Fromista (25kms)Read more
