Camino Day 2 - Hontanas

We were invited into the local convent for Vespers. There was only 6 mins still living there and all above 80 year old t seems. They were so nice and gave us each a Pilgrim blessing and a medallion to keep us safe on our journey. All in Spanish, but still quite moving. A great end to our first day on the Camino.
An early start this morning, up at 6am thanks to the church bells next door. Breakfast was served at 6:30 and we were on the road by 7:15am.
A much cooler day today with cloud cover most of the day.
The Meseta lived up to its reputation of vast open fields and not much shade. Stunning vistas in every direction you look.
Couldn't find anywhere open to buy food so we pushed on till the end. Covered 20km today and everyone feels fine.
Lunch in Hontanas, then checked into our albergue which also offers a shared meal. Very modern, very nice.Read more
