D18- Burgos to Hontanas 31.5km
Вчера, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 8 °CWe had an early start this morning, had a tub of yoghurt then left our accommodation around 0620. We were meeting Chris and Kate at their apartment as we were all heading to Hontanas together. We decided we would have our bags transported to our next destination as the walk today was over 30km. Garry was nursing a cold so it was a good decision. John was also walking with us this morning. We wandered through the streets of Burgos past the Catedral de Santa Maria de Burgos. We walked on past the university and out of town. It was very cold when we left and the cold winds stung our hands. Tardajos was the first town we came to today after about 11 kms. We were ready for a coffee by this time so stopped at the first cafe we came to. We walked on through the town and came to the church where birds were nesting on the roof. We walked along the edge of the road between Tardajos and the next town of Rabe de Las Calzadas, only a further 2.1 kms. We didn’t stop in town but as were leaving town we entered the little church and was greeted by a lovely old nun who gave us a blessing and a huge hug before sending us on our way. From Rabe de Las Calzadas to the next town of Hornillos de Camino the fields of wheat and barley were dancing in the wind, lucky for us the wind was at our backs. We had a steep descent into Hornillos de Camino which aggravated Simon’s knees a bit. At the bottom of the hill just before town there was a field of poppies so we all stopped and posed for some pics. We stopped for lunch at a cafe in front of the church and took off our shoes to air our feet. From here to Hontanas was another 10.7 km and more of the same scenery, gravel path with fields of wheat and barley and the giant wind turbines on the hills. We seemed to walk forever with no sight of a town. Hontanas remains hidden until you see the church steeple suddenly appear out of nowhere and with another steep descent you arrive at the town. Our albergue is near the top of town and we were all ready for a sit down and a cold drink. We had the pilgrims meal in the Albergue, three courses, wine, bread and water for 15 euros.Читать далее
