      Magical Meseta

      29 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 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.      Baca lagi

      Yet more poppies and big skies

      7 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      After the heat yesterday we got up really early and walked 19km to the first cup of coffee through beautiful fields of wheat and poppies. We found a place with carrot cake for breakfast and kept on walking down to a ruined abbey that Fiona wanted to stay the night in. Except that we saw a sign in the middle of nowhere for a veggie, alternative lifestyle place in Castrojeriz so here I am sitting in a beautiful peaceful garden under a tree. There are only four beds, which are in a huge yoga studio, and only three of us staying so far. It's a very lovely place which promises some variation on the pilgrim diet, which being meat heavy is not really my thing.
      Walked past a poppy and purple flower field. The attached photo doesn't do it justice.      Baca lagi

      Day 14 to Castrojeriz

      20 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 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      Baca lagi

      Castrojeriz

      19 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 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.      Baca lagi

      Day 20 24k to Fromista, and a canal boat

      26 Mei, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 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.Baca lagi

      D19- Hontanas to Itero de la Vega 21.3 k

      1 Jun, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

      Walked so far 334.4 km. 432.6km to go km
      After a lovely night at the Albergue Santo Brigida we set off about 7am after a quick coffee. It wasn’t just as cold as the day before but there was still a chill in the air. After 5km we came to the ruins of San Anton monastery and pilgrims hospital. There is an 12 bed Albergue run by volunteers on site. We ventured a few more kms and stopped for breakfast at a cafe as we entered the town of Castrojeriz. It was a fair sized town but not much activity to be seen, maybe being a Saturday morning everyone was still indoors. Leaving Castrojeriz we walked for a bit then saw a sign that said we had a 1050m climb up the Alto de Mostelares. It was a long windy km ascent and at the top there is a picnic area with beautiful views over the countryside we had left behind. The descent on the other side was much steeper but the scenery was amazing. We continued on the trail a bit further and saw the old pilgrim hospital of San Nicolas and now a small albergue. Just after this we cross the Puente Fitero and we are now in the region of Palencia. Our albergue Puente Fitero was 1.5 km after this, very nice albergue and we had a room for five which we shared with Chris and Kate. We ate lasagna for dinner washed down with the best sangria we have had so far.Baca lagi

      29. Etappe: Fromista (25 km)

      25 November 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

      Um 6 Uhr war heute die Nacht zu Ende, plötzlich ging das Licht an 🙈- viel zu früh für mich! Trotzdem ging es erst spät los, entspannt bei Sonnenschein. Zu Beginn rin kleiner Aufstieg, danach flach und am Ende entlang eines Kanals. Heute liefen Luiz, Clemens und ich den ganzen Tag entspannt gemeinsam und trafen ab und zu einige andere Pilger auf dem Weg. Dank der Empfehlung des Hospitalieros kehrten wir in der sehr gemütlichen kleinen Unterkunft Betania ein. Nach einen leckeren italienisch-französischem Abendessen freuen wir uns alle auf eine entspannte Nacht 😊Baca lagi

      Day 12 - Leon

      10 Oktober 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 63 °F

      The thing about Spain is there are no screens on the windows. Even the fanciest hotels sometimes don’t have air conditioning. Evidently we did not learn from our prior bug infestation, and when we returned to our room last night we were overwhelmed with flying insects. Joan jumped into action and got them all. A Pilgrim is always working.

      So no air all night, this led to a poor nights sleep for Joan, (Julie slept like a baby). Joan awoke with a hip issue and immediately began stretching. Good thing we are at a spa, as Joan was able to go to the massage chair, Turkish bath, all to help her aching joints and muscles. Julie went to an amazing breakfast.

      Our cab arrived promptly at 10 am for a quick jaunt to Palencia. One look at the big hill outside of the spa, led to our decision to take a rest day and take a quick cab and then train to Leon.

      Oh and Julie was bit by a bee/wasp on her arm and had growing red reaction around the sting. Dr Joan was a big help and our first stop in Palencia was a Pharmacia for some bug lotion and a new knee brace for Joan. We had time to see some of the interesting sights in their old town and off to the train to Leon (45 min). We walked to our hotel in old town and then to out to explore. No time to see the sights, Julie needed new Hoka shoes and Joan some rain pants. However most/all stores closed 1- 5 pm for siesta. We found a great spot for some cocktails and a rousing game of uno. We were successful finding our new gear and off to search for dinner. We both had a hankering for pasta and found a great outdoor Italian cafe with beautiful views of the Cathedral.

      Tomorrow is a national holiday in Spain as they celebrate- National Day of Spain. They celebrate Christopher Columbus sailing to the new world- October 12, 1492. All shops closed, bars and restaurants are open. We will celebrate appropriately as we will be in Leon another day.

      Into Frómista

      8 Oktober 2023, Sepanyol ⋅ 🌙 48 °F

      Today we got up early and started our walk to Frómista in the dark. In fact the first hour or so wasn’t the light of headlamps! We had a big uphill in the dark. Then we began being able to see.

      We’re on La Meseta, a relatively flat agricultural area that is isolated. La Meseta has a reputation as a boring, monotonous weeklong stretch, and many people skip it because “it’s boring.” We have both found this whole area lovely! It’s quiet and pretty, and the agricultural fields are interesting. Today we saw dry agriculture as well as irrigated fields. We saw many different crops, and there were several we couldn’t identify. The weirdest thing we saw was when we could see a rise ahead and saw what looked like a white bus. “What IS that?” we kept asking each other. Turns out it was a boat in a canal. We walked along side the canal for about two miles.

      So having mostly recovered from COVID we have been feeling good. And it was all fun and games until about the last three or four miles today when all of a sudden David started to tilt. Like his body is leaning to one side! Because of his cognitive issues it was hard to get a straight answer out of him about what was going on. (Just as an aside, not giving information in a straightforward way seems to be one of the big things that has changed about David’s day to day personality. He kind of talks circles around whatever he’s trying to say. It’s quite frustrating for the listener, usually me. Maybe it’s frustrating to him, too? It’s hard to say.) It seems that somehow he hurt his lower back and that’s made him lean? He looks a little like a banana or a boomerang when he normally would be standing straight up and down. We made it to the hotel and he’s konked out and I gave him three ibuprofen. Not sure what we’ll do tomorrow. I carried David’s backpack and my own the last two miles or so. And we can ship his backpack ahead and I can carry both of our water and sweaters, etc. Some kindhearted people on the trail were telling me he was very badly injured and needed to go to the hospital. But I’m not sure kindhearted trail passersby are the best source of medical information! Obviously I’ll let you know how we dealt with this tomorrow once we figure it out ourselves.      Baca lagi

      Hornillos del Camino to Castrojeriz

      30 September 2022, Sepanyol ⋅ ☁️ 7 °C

      Tonight we sleep in Castrojeriz on the Spanish Meseta, a town which has had some human presence for 4000 years. A beautiful ancient town built on the slopes of a hill topped by a castle. See the photo.

      Todays walk was in two halves, each equally beautiful. We left Hornillos at first light and walked the first 11km on an easy gravel path across a classic featureless Meseta landscape under a cool cloudy sky. Perfect walking conditions. Contemplative. We lunched in Hontanas, a classic Camino village at the halfway mark. Hontanas is 700+ years old and in a tiny valley in the Meseta landscape. The cloud cleared after lunch and we walked most of the way to Castrojeriz through the valley of the river called Arroyo del Garbanzuelo. It is a completely different landscape to the high plains. Many trees both conifer and deciduous. We stopped for a rest and drink just short of Castrojeriz at the long abandoned Convento de San Antón.

      We have encountered a three generation group of New Zealanders comprising grandparents, married children and a couple of toddlers over the last few days and are staying at the same hotel tonight. Very nice people and coping well with the needs of travelling the Camino with little ones.

      After 2 weeks plus walking 20km+ most days our bodies seem to have become somewhat accustomed to the rigours of the Camino. Kevin’s knees are now doing their job better than before leaving Boston and my (J) dodgy feet are cooperating as long as I do my post walk stretches. I must admit to including anti inflammatory meds as an essential food group for the next few weeks.      Baca lagi
