Hontanas,Spain

We are in Hontanas and happy to be here. Our room has 2 queen beds!! Again, I am in heaven!!
Tammy is the BEST! She booked all of this months in advance. Each time I thought of offering she had what booked!! With my lack of knowledge, it’s a godsend at the end of each day!!
We are now in an area called the Meseta. It’s walking to Spokane including the few big hills, many rolling hills and never ending wheat fields.
Entering Hontanas is amazing, in that one is one a never ending dirt and gravel road that goes forever into the distance, and the even though the books warn you, there what feels like is a slight depression in the land scape and there is Hontanas!!
I had to take parting photos of the Burgos Cathedral! Such a breath taking sight!! I zoomed in on the Saints and bishops very high up on the cathedral. To see them from ground level, I imagine they must be 12+feet tall.
A gentleman from Connecticut, caught up with us a few times. LOVE his accent. He was a geography teacher for 49(?) years. Bill is walking The Way/El Camino solo. The enter way when he caught up ( wardrobe changes or breaks) he mentioned his concern about not having a place to stay tonight. BUT, he knew of a place Santa Brigida, where he felt confident he would find a room. We ahead had a room here. Other pilgrims who had tried to book were unable, as sites said it was full.
He was able to book as were a few other pilgrims we have met!! 🥰. We will be having a communal dinner at 7pm. 3 course and wine for €15. Loving this!!
Hugs to all!!Read more
