Quintanapalla

Well today we went from Belorado to Ages . 27.5 km ( 17 miles) we started in the dark and then had a decent climb ( about 1000 feet) then walked along the mountain ridge, mostly wooded , until we came down the backside of the mountain to arrive in Ages. Didn’t take many pics as we were on the woods quite a bit.
This is the first time we were not able to get a room so we had to take a taxi to a town off the Camino and tomorrow morning will taxi back to Ages and head to Burgos.
We are going to take our first rest day in Burgos!
After Burgos we have the Meseta which is mostly flat plateau for like 180km so we plan to have some large mileage days . From everything we read on this stretch it is dull and boring. It is also out in the open so hopefully the weather will remain cool. The forecast is for the highs to be in the mid 70’s so we should be good. So far we have also lucked out on the rain as we have only had periodic showers on 2 days. As of now the meseta forecast isn’t showing a ton of rain so fingers crossed.
During our walk today we stayed mostly between the bubbles of people. CJ is diligently placing rest stops along the way for me to keep the knee rested. We also did a better job on food and water today. Yesterday was a bit tough and I had some heat exhaustion/ dehydration problems last night but today felt much better.
lastly the Camino is described as having 3 sections. They are : The Body, The Mind and The Soul. Tomorrow we reach Burgos which is the end of The Body Section. Now since my body has been a bit beaten up in the section, I am hoping I won’t be robbed of my mind in the next section!
BTW we are still having a blast!Read more
