      Castrojeriz

      19. maj, Spanien ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C

      Day 17 Castrojeriz
      Distance from Hornillos to Castrojeriz 22kms

      We started day 2 of the Meseta and were rewarded with a stunning morning a beautiful sunrise and the sound of the Great Spotted Cuckoo such a charming sound. There was no clock.
      Possibly the easiest day so far and one of the most rewarding. Walking between wheat fields after wheat fields could be considered mundane we found it to be a tranquil experience. We entered a small village with a tiny church and prayer room we took a moment to think of those who had made a significant impact on the world.
      Stopped to view the remains of the convent Santa Clara (XIV Century) and wondered what the decaying walls could tell us.
      Arrived at Castrojeriz early afternoon a lovely village of 500 inhabitants. We were soon scrambling up the hill to the 9th Century castle ruins not a lot left but stunning views of the village and surrounding fields.
      We are dining in at the albergue tonight and at 8pm will go down to the cellar for a degustation (Spanish term) of wine. A hard life being a pilgrim.      Læs mere

      Magical Meseta

      29. maj, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F

      We had our second day walking through the maseta on Wednesday, accompanied by the sound of birds and a Canadian named Helen. We walked 11 km to Hantanas, a small pilgrim village tucked in the fields. I stopped at the El Puntido bar and Albergi for refreshments and sat at an outdoor table on the Camino that passed through the little town.

      My feet decided that the morning walk was enough for the day so I called a taxi to take me to Castrojeriz. The driver was very friendly, she even paused for a moment so I could look at the Arco San Antonio which the ruins of a 16th century ancient convent, Pilgrims can still stay here without electricity but share a meal. It still contains recessed alcoves where bread was left for pilgrims.

      The hotel in Castrojeriz it's very nice and built up into the hill with lovely views looking over the meseta. We toured the tunnels underneath the hotel which were cold and stone places where people in the past kept their animals in wine and who knows what else.

      We walked to dinner with Cheryl at the plaza Mayor and had good pizza and chatted with a digital nomad blogger from Italy.

      As we go to back to the hotel after dinner at 10:00 the sun is still setting. It is so wild to have such long days.      Læs mere

      Day 14 to Castrojeriz

      20. maj, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

      Easy day... apart from starting (again) without coffee!

      Luckily at about 9km's at Castellanos de Castro I got great coffee and pancakes with peanut butter. Bed huskies- Oasis - sat at my feet. And played with a littkitten, India.

      The church ruin of San Anton is incredible! And they have a small albergue there...

      My watch died... but feels like I walked about 15km's but must be at least 19 to 20...
      Can still feel my leg but I'm either getting used to it or it's getting better.

      Saw Monique, Herman (from Holland), Matteo(UK), Ken, Alyssa & brother (Toronto) on the road.

      Forgot to mention the little buck that came from nowhere and ran next to me for a (short) while before he disappeared in the thick grass

      Also Hans, who looks like he is suffering but he keeps going.

      Nice municipal aulberge tonight... colourful & friendly.

      Korean couple, old lady with sore knee, Tom, Mateo & girl who I saw long ago- also with injured knee - all here      Læs mere

      Day 20 24k to Fromista, and a canal boat

      26. maj, Spanien ⋅ 🌙 46 °F

      Big climb out of our lonely town this morning, then the landscape flattened out. Our albergue owner cooked us a breakfast that included vegetables, which are hard to find here. As we came into the town of Fromista this afternoon, there was a canal boat that we hopped on, and for 2 euros it transported us the last 5k into Fromista. Fromista is a bigger town, families are out, this Sunday evening. Oh, and storks nests! Ive seen 7 or 8 storks nests, so far. They are huge! Pic attached. Our accommodations at the Hotel San Martin are nice.Læs mere

      We passed through this town on our walk today. There were 3 interesting churches to visit. The second one we visited had a light show about creation that playedon the ceiling.
      There was also the ruins of a castle on top of a hill. We did not walk up there. Too far!Læs mere

      Day 14 - Short day on the Meseta

      29. september 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt." - John Muir.

      Day 14 - Castellanos de Castro to Castrojerez - 11km

      After being awoken before 6 am by some rude pilgrims, I ended up leaving in the dark at 7:30 am. First time I have had to use my headlamp to help ensure I don’t injure myself.

      Made the first couple of km as the sun was starting to rise, and stopped in the lovely town of Hontanas. You almost don’t realize it’s there until you are upon it, as it is hidden in a valley. I had a long stop here having tea and chatting with other pilgrims I have met previously (the ones from Munich). I then spent some time in the lovely and real Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de la Inmaculada Concepcion. This church was worth the short stop. Completely “real” and not full of gilt and ostentation. The warden let me in as it was still before 9am. She had these 8” long skeleton keys to open the doors. Super cool!

      I finally started back on way. As today was a short day, there was no rush. Tomorrow will be a different story - 20km planned. The way was uphill a bit to start and then fairly flat while walking in the fields. I eventually met up with a road that took me first to the ruins of the Convento de San Antón. The ruins themselves were beautiful. But, we encountered a bit of Camino magic here. A man from New Mexico (I think he name was Romano) was singing in the ruins. It was such a privilege to be there for that moment and made the stop all the more special.

      Onward along the road to Castrojerez with a smile on my face. Again, along the road for approx 3 km more. I got to town just after 11:15 and beat my pack here by at least 15 mins. I felt silly sending it such a short distance, but it is what it is! For what it’s worth, I think my ankle is appreciating not having the extra weight! By arriving early, I also missed the rain that came to the plains of Spain this afternoon. Yippee!

      Staying the night at Alb. Orien - an Albergue run by a Spanish man and his Korean partner. My short day was specifically so I could stay here as I know they serve Korean food for dinner. Needless to say, there are also a lot of Korean pilgrims here today. Dinner did not disappoint. Bibimap - a rice dish with mixed veg and ground beef. It was fabulous!!      Læs mere

      Stage 17: Hornillos to Castrojeriz

      1. oktober 2022, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C

      20 km/ 12.4 mi, 39°-69°, about 5.5 hours. My slow must be getting faster. Beautiful fall day entering the meseta- the high central plain. All systems go, chugging along, only minor random complaints from the team.
      Gotta get this breakfast and dinner thing worked out. When breakfast is offered it's usually just coffee and bread, which doesn't get me far. Sometimes the first town with food options isn't for several miles and I'm crashing and burning by then. Dinner, when served early for pilgrims, is at 7:30, otherwise not till 8:30-9:00. Have to watch for grocery stores to stock up on sustaining snacks.
      Tonight I'm staying in a beautiful hotel built on the site of a Franciscan monastery. It's so lovely I may not want to leave, the gardens are gorgeous and full of scented herbs like rosemary, lavender and mint. Heavenly!      Læs mere

      All Saints day

      1. november 2022, Spanien ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

      Big miscalculation on my part. I am in the Meseta part of the hike now. About 200 km through wheat fields with tiny villages.
      This being the Camino, I was certain that places for breakfast lunch or snacks would be open along the 30 km stretch to Castrojeriz.
      Not so. Nada. Zip
      Zero. So until about 30 minutes ago, I had one bottle of water. Have you seen me hangry??? Food... My hobby.
      So I arrive and he tells me dinner at 7 pm. Another four hours... I fainted. So he made a packaged soup for me, salad and gave me a slice of cake intended for dinner. I am alive and well.

      Lessons learnt? Don't hike without food and act like you dying when you need something. 😂😂😂      Læs mere

      Sean’s post!

      25. juni 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 64 °F

      While David is doing the write-up, Sean gets ALL the credit. This morning we decided to hike up to the Castillo (castle) that you might have noticed in yesterday’s pictures, but I couldn’t make it to the top. (Partly the mountain goat trail, partly my lungs the day before dialysis.)

      Sean got some amazing pictures and videos! Enjoy.      Læs mere

      Day 19-Castrojeriz

      24. september 2023, Spanien ⋅ ☀️ 77 °F

      When we arrived in Hornillos at 3pm yesterday, that wedding was in full swing. It kept going until 3am. How do I know? Some of the wedding guests stayed in the same casa rural (country home) we were in. Two men kept going in and out of the house and slamming the front door so we didn't get much sleep. The fireworks at midnight were pretty cool, though. I must still need to learn some lessons from the Camino because I took great pleasure in slamming the bathroom door at 6am.

      We walked about 13 miles today and had a rest stop about halfway through in Hontanas to have a cool drink and sweet watermelon. I expected to meseta to be all brown at this time of year but there were many trees and some green crops. The meseta is not completely flat either. It's more like flat hilltops with valleys.

      We walked through the ruins of the San Anton Monastery where our friend Kerrie volunteers. They have a rustic (no electricity) albergue there. Pat got excited when he saw that they have a telescope there, but we moved on because we like electricity.

      We're staying at Albergue Orion in Castrojeriz. They have a great courtyard for chatting and hanging laundry. A unique aspect of this albergue is that they make Korean food, so we had ramen for lunch and they're serving bibimbap for dinner.

      It's going to be warm tomorrow so we'll be leaving before sunrise.      Læs mere
