This post is delayed because it has to do with a surprise. Alejandro, my wife's son is coming to the Netherlands and celebrates his birthday there. So that meant I just had to put the camino on hold and be there as well.
So therefore I changed plans. In Frómista there is the Camino Lebaniego Castellano that crosses its route with the Camino Frances. It leads south to Palencia which is a city with a beautiful cathedral. So I decided to take that route and leave the camino this day.
This camino follows the Canal de Castillo all the way to Palencia. It was a super quiet and beautiful hike.
Unfortunately with the early morning light and all the water, it was also a great place for mosquitos. At one point I was under full attack of these nasty creatures but after intensive use of my repellant I was safe again.
In the end it turned out I had walked over 45km to reach Palencia. In the evening I just rested. Palencia would have to wait until tomorrow.
From Palencia I will take the train to Valladolid, stay there a night and then via Madrid to Holland.En savoir plus

Palencia the capital of the province with the same name is beautiful. The Cathedral used to be called the "unknown beauty". Like a hidden gem near the other beautiful cathedrals in the cities of Castilla y León. I used my morning to discover as much of the town as I could and of course I had to visit the Cathedral. Because in the afternoon I would continue in the direction of the airport with another stop on the way: Valladolid.En savoir plus

Jour 15
Eating out in Valladolid
6 septembre 2023, Espagne ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
It turned out I arrived in the middle of the Feria de Día in Valladolid. It is a 10 day festival with lots of food stands, music and other activities in the city center.
The food stands were too full of people and I preferred to have a menu instead. So I found on the arrival day a great little super Spanish restaurant called "La Sal". I was hungry so I chose spaghetti a la marinera to start with. I had it followed by the chefs special "Rabo de toro al vino tinto" oxtail in red wine sauce. What a delicacy that was.
Next morning, the favorite breakfast place for me and my wife when we were here 5 years ago: Granier. Nice tostada with coffee and juice.
And because I had the train late in the afternoon I had another nice lunch in Valladolid. This time at Griller Chef. A nice barbecue restaurant. I had the grilled chorizo which was delicious especially with it's spicy sauce and then the picanha. What a nice meat that was. Followed by a flan as dessert, I had my stomach full to survive the train ride to Madrid.En savoir plus

In the afternoon and next morning I walked all over this town to look at the beauty this city has to offer. This time no cathedral visit or museum. Just using my time to get a lot of impressions of this beautiful city and to bring back memories from the last time we were there.En savoir plus
