      Day 21 Carrion de los Condes

      26 Mayıs, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 52 °F

      We are still in the Meseta, which is green and flat. Although look closely at the one green pic and you can see mountains in the distance. We will be at our highest elevation later, even higher than the Pyrenees at the start of this journey. Walked several miles along the Carrion River and saw plenty of farm equipment harvesting grain. The town of Carrion de los Condes is alive and vibrant. We met Marie from Whales, who is staying at the Monastery of San Zolio, and she took us through the museum under the Monestary, which is not open to the public. The Monestary was built in the 1100s, and it is stunning. I told 3 people I would light candles for them. You know who you are, and your candle burns bright in the Monastery of San Zolio. We were on our way to dinner when we heard the bells toll for the Augustinian sisters blessings of all those walking the Camino. I do not usually post food pics, but here is
      dinner. Grilled vegetables.

      Day 15 to Fromista

      21 Mayıs, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

      Frosty morning... would've been cold if it wasn't for the steep climb to 920m to start the day with!

      Beautiful windy roads... walked with Mateo in the beginning and then moved on after Itero de la Vega.

      Saw the Korean couple, Aimee and Herman & Monique at the hostel.

      And also the lady with the super sore knee... she has long conversations with me in Spanish... thought I was a doctor... but must've mistaken me with Jodie. Saw her in Belorado or San Juan de Ortega... making coffee with hot water from the bathroom! She's in pain but not stopping.

      Villalcazar de Sirgo

      13 Ekim 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 9 °C

      After our wonderful canal walk this morning, the afternoon walk was a let down.

      After visiting a church in Fromista, we set off out of town. The Camino became a dirt track parallel to a road.

      After 3k we entered a small town, with two route options : a flat straight , boring walk next to the road. Or a flat straight boring walk not next to a road.
      We chose option B. It led us to a small town that was basically closed. The one cafe was closed. The town did have a Jai Alai fronton. Nobody was playing.

      We then used a dirt road across the fields to re-join the main Camino route, which was the shorter walk.

      We arrived in our little town for the night, checked into our hostel and had beers/snacks. The only two cafés in town closed soon after that., Joining the rest of the town for Siesta. Not to reopen for dinner until 9 PM. Fortunately, the Albergue restaurant down the hill will open at 7:30 for a Pilgrim dinner.

      It is not clear anything in town will be open for coffee/breakfast in the morning, so we went to the mini-market for pineapple juice and a bag of mini-donuts for the morning. 6k walk to the next town tomorrow to find an open café!

      The Camino provides...

      Habt ihr euch schon einmal die Frage gestellt, weshalb manche Menschen Wunder erleben und andere eher weniger oder garnicht ? Also eine Thematik habe ich heute jedenfalls für mich gefunden. Hier werde ich minimal einmal am Tag mit dem Dilemma der Schlafmöglichkeiten konfrontiert, dass es dieses Jahr der Horror sei den Camino zu gehen. Die Besitzer von den Unterkünften beschweren sich weil sie keine Betten für die Menschen haben, welche sich ein Bett verdienen weil die "Bus, Taxi Pilger" den anderen alles weg nehmen und die Pilger beschweren sich weil sie Stunden damit verbringen vor zu buchen um ein Bett zu bekommen was ihnen weg genommen wird. Mag es dahin gestellt sein ob ich alles richtig mache oder nicht, denn was ist schon richtig oder falsch, aber wie sollen sich denn Wunder ergeben, wenn man den kompletten Camino durch plant und alles voraus bucht ohne sich leiten zu lassen wie im Leben auch? Bezugnehmend auf den Kontext erzähle ich euch was heute passiert ist: Gestern rief ich in einem Hostel in der Stadt in der ich heute gerne übernachten wollte an und ein älterer Herr sagte "Ich habe für dich ein Zimmer unter dem Namen la chica italiana reserviert" er hatte mein Humor vermutlich aus dem Telefonat entnommen. Nun kam ich heute hier an und die Inhaberin sagte zu mir: Hier ist alles voll, mein Vater muss wohl etwas übersehen haben, dann fragte sie und der Vater sagte zu ihr: Ist dass la chica italiana? Schön dass Sie da ist ich habe mir schon sorgen gemacht, bringe sie in unsere freie Wohnung. Ja und genau da bin ich jetzt, zwischenzeitlich habe ich noch ein Mädchen eingecheckt, weil die Hotelbetreiber kein Englisch können und nun hätte ich einen Job wenn ich wollen würde (was ich natürlich, dankend abgelehnt habe).

      Heute hat es geregnet, war eine tolle Erfahrung mit einer tollen Begegnung.

      Il Camino provede...

      Vi siete mai chiesti perché alcune persone ricevono dei miracoli e altre meno o per niente? Ebbene, oggi ho trovato una risposta per me stessa. Mi ritrovo almeno una volta al giorno di fronte al dilemma delle sistemazioni per dormire, in tanti che dicono che è un orrore percorrere il Camino quest'anno. I proprietari degli alloggi si lamentano perché non hanno letti per le persone che guadagnano un letto perché i "pellegrini in autobus, e in taxi" tolgono tutto agli altri e i pellegrini si lamentano perché passano ore a prenotare in anticipo per ottenere un letto che viene loro tolto. Sarà irrilevante se sto facendo tutto bene o no, perché cosa è gia giusto o sbagliato, ma come possono accadere i miracoli se si pianifica tutto il Cammino e si prenota tutto in anticipo senza lasciarsi guidare come nella vita reale? Riferendomi al contesto, vi racconto cosa è successo oggi: Ieri ho telefonato a un ostello della città dove volevo alloggiare stanotte e un signore anziano mi ha detto "ho prenotato una stanza per te con il nome la chica italiana", probabilmente aveva colto il mio umorismo dalla telefonata. Oggi sono arrivato qui e la proprietaria mi ha detto: Qui è tutto pieno, mio padre deve essersi perso qualcosa, poi ha chiesto e il padre le ha risposto: È la chica italiana? Sono contento che sia qui, ero preoccupato, portala nel nostro appartamento libero. Sì, ed è lì che mi trovo ora, nel frattempo ho fatto il check in ad un'altra ragazza perché i gestori dell'albergo non parlano l'inglese e ora avrei un lavoro se lo volessi (che ovviamente ho rifiutato con un grazie).

      Oggi ha piovuto, ma è stata una bella esperienza con un bell incontro.

      Heute stand eine extrem kurze Etappe von
      sechs Kilometern an.
      Der restliche Tag sollte als Rest- Day genutzt werden.
      Bei Sonnenaufgang gings los.
      Der Camino führte uns relativ unspektakulär quer durch die Meseta.
      Im Zielort angekommen, checkte ich erstmal im Hotel ein und genoss meinen Rest- Day
      Morgen geht's dann weiter nach Castellanos de Castro.

    • Castrojeriz to Frómista

      1 Ekim 2022, Ispanya ⋅ 🌙 4 °C

      Today was a 26km day, bigger than we prefer. It was mostly shadeless and sunny all day but at least it was not too hot. I wouldn’t enjoy it in August.

      We left Castrojeriz about 8am after breakfast where we stayed, at the Hotel Iacobus.

      2km west of town there was a steep climb rising 150m vertical in a 12% grade to get to the top of the Alto de Mostelares. Very good heart starter, was that climb. We paused to catch our breath and admire the views.

      Then it was a steep 80m descent down the other side into more meseta-like countryside.

      We stopped for a snack at a donativo truck (“pay what you think it is worth”) parked at a shaded rest area, then on into Itero de la Vega for lunch.

      Soon after lunch we crossed a river and entered the province of Palencia from that of Burgos. Two more provinces after Palencia on this walk: Leon and Galicia.

      A shadeless march took us into Boadilla del Camino where a cold drink and a foot airing were needed.

      From the outskirts of Boadilla to Frómista we walked beside a section of the Castilian Canal, an 18th century transport project. It was fairly well shaded most of the way by rows of tall trees.

      We checked into the Oasibeth hotel rural, which is a nice place. We enjoyed an excellent fixed price 3 course dinner in the hotel restaurant.

      A rest day in Frómista to give our well worn feet and legs a chance to refresh and to celebrate Kevin’s birthday. It I was nice to sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast and catch up on a few domestic chores like washing hiking clothes.

      Being Sunday we attended Mass at the Gothic 15th century church of San Pedro. The rather long Spanish sermon didn’t do much for us.

      We ate dinner tonight again at our hotel with several other pilgrims. We first met Levana way back in Zubiri and Chris in Los Arcos and have have crossed paths with each at various points along the Way. By far the fittest at the table was 76 year old Allen from the Peak District in the UK who is averaging 40km plus per day.

      Etappe 15 - Ledigos

      29 Eylül 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 8 °C

      Heute sechs Uhr Beginn der Pilgerwanderung. Bis 10.30 Uhr keine offenes Café gefunden. Erst am eigentlichen Etappenziel des heutigen Tagesziel Carrión de los Condes konnte ich frühstücken.
      Mit dem Frühstück kam die Entscheidung weiter zu laufen. Der Weg führte nach Calzadilla de la Cueza. Leider kein Bett zu bekommen. Deshalb entschlossen sich mein deutscher Wegbegleitet und ich noch bis Ledigos weitet zu pilgern. Hier haben wir dann nach ca. 47 km ein Quartier in einer Alberque gefunden. Ist zwar ziemlich groß, aber wir waren heute nicht mehr wählerisch. Bett ist Bett!!!
      Damit fast zwei Etappen an einem Tag bewältigt!!!
      Der Weg hierher war sehr eintönig - plattes Land, staubige Wege und viel, viel Gegenwind über alle Kilometer. Zwischendurch kamen dann auch noch Regenschauer.
      Fazit des Tages: Gegenwind aushalten und trotzdem dein Ziel erreichen!!!

      Day 19: Moratinos

      28 Eylül 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

      We set out shortly after 8 a.m. from Hontanas, which would be a late start for walking but was just right for biking.

      We pedaled past several ruins, including the impressive remains of a medieval nunnery before stopping for breakfast in Castrojeriz. It is a long, skinny town of great beauty.

      After Castrojeriz we soon came upon the steepest hill of the day. The batteries on our rented ebikes were extremely helpful in providing extra oomph to get us to the top without stopping. After a short bit of level riding, we then faced another roller coaster drop off the hill.

      By the time we arrived in Fromista, which was a little shy of our halfway point, our batteries were down to 2 of 5 bars. So we stopped in a cafe bar, asked if we could charge while we ate, and spent a pleasant hour eating tortillas and bocadillos, and drinking coffee and tinto de verano.

      Setting off from Fromista, the headwinds we’d been battling all day seemed to intensify. Riding with the wind whistling in my ears was a constant reminder of Hurricane Ian’s strong winds bearing down on our home state of Florida today.

      Three towns prior to our lodging, my bike’s battery died. We tried swapping in Allan’s battery which still had some charge, but it didn’t fit. So we took turns alternating between the bikes from then until we reached Calzadilla de la Cueza, a few kilometers down the Camino.

      The first albergue I approached asking to buy 30 minutes of electricity turned me away, suggesting that I try one of the town’s bars. The first was closed, but we got lucky at the second. An hour later we were on our way with enough charge to make it to Albergue San Bruno in time for quick showers before the 7 p.m. communal meal. All in, we pedaled close to 90 kilometers today.

      Sitting down to dinner, we were delighted to bump into a father-son duo we’d met at Orisson.

      Tomorrow, we’ll bike about 65 kilometers to Leon, and relinquish our two-wheeled steeds.

      Fromista - 1st full day on Meseta

      26 Eylül 2022, Ispanya ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F

      Before I get into the day I just have to comment on something really special in Spain, the showers. Oh my word, in California we have those low flow shower nozzles. They don’t have those here. When you turn the shower on, if you’re not careful, you might knock yourself to the ground. The pressure and volume is amazing!

      Now to the day - Peg woke up still feeling bad after a rough night of coughing and a horrible sore throat. When we discover the town doctor and pharmacy did not open until 11:00 we decided to start walking in hopes of finding medicine along the way. Sabrina at the hostel got us coffee and a Spanish standard, fresh squeezed orange juice, and we where off. This was our first full day on the Meseta, a vast plain that goes on for a week. The weather was perfect hiking weather with amazing color and a constantly changing landscape. Many see the Meseta as boring flats to be endured. We found them to be beautiful with big skies, easily competing with Montana. The walking was easy and Peg tackled it with grace. I was very proud of her, knowing how she felt.

      We grabbed lunch in Boadilla del Camino in a fancy place that was playing jazz from NPR which was very out of place in the small farming town. From here we had a 4 mile walk along a beautiful canal into the town of Fromista. Peg found the pharmacy and got setup with a special 'bag of cures' to fix her up.

      Today finished up at 17 miles. Tomorrow will likely be a lighter day around 12.
