Villalón de Campos To Santervás de Campo
September 23, 2019 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Today we started off with a great breakfast for a change. At the albergue, they had some milk, eggs, and bread. I cooked us up some French toast with this. The hospitalerio also gave us some melon. We hit the road full for a change.

Most of the walk was thru farm track today. It seemed to go on forever. Fortunately, the weather is cooler.

The albergue where we ended up at in Santervás de Campos is really something. The volunteer hospitalerios Isadoro and Reyes are fantastic host. The fed us well.

This small village in the middle of nowhere, it turns out is very noteworthy. It was the birthplace of Juan Ponce de Leon! He was in charge of the expedition following Columbus. He was the first governor of Puerto Rico, and discovered Florida while looking for the fountain of youth.

We were asked if we would like to see the museum, and agreed to go have a look. To our amazement, the museum was in the basement of the albergue! We went down into the cavernous space, and low and behold there was a complete museum with incredible displays.

A truly incredible day.Read more

Cuenca de Campos To Villalón de Campos

After the last few hard days, we decided to do just a short walk to the next town. We still broke thru the 400’s into the 300’s. Most of the way was along an old railway track bed.

A nice albergue here, but it did not open until 3:00.

Again finding food in this town has not been easy, as we are arriving one day after a festival. That combined with being a Sunday, means that many things are closed.

A few more days to Sahagun!Read more

Day 12
Day 12 Villlalon de Campos to Santervas
April 15 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Day 12 Villalon de Campos to Santervas De Campos 16 kms

As we put in the extra kilometres yesterday, we only had 16kms to walk today.
The hospilardos advised us that we needed to bring food with us as there were no services in Santervas.
We waited until 9.45am for the supermarket opened to get some provisions for tonight.
When we got back to the Albergue, the hospilardo took his time out to show us where the trail out of town began.
There are now two more peregrinos, Edward (73) from Belgium and Paul from U.S.A.
The Camino meandered onto wide open plains of multi colours. You can see the small clusters of towns and villages in the distance.
Cheng and I stopped in the only village called Fontiboyuelo en route to our destination for a snack from our rucksacks. The only person we saw asked if we were okay for water.
We then just carried on, arriving at 1.15pm worn out by the heat.
The hospilardo invited us in and made sure that we were comfortable. A short time later, Edward and Paul arrived just in time for a simple lunch that the hospilardo made for us. He speaks no English so I ended up trying to translate badly. As it turns out I will be pretty much making the same thing tonight of pasta and chorizo.
Just before we ate, a van pulled up outside the Albergue with a mobile shop inside. We descended on it like locusts. So the good news is that I have a few cans of cerveza a to enjoy .
As we cleared up, a Canadian couple arrived exhausted by the heat of the day.
Tomorrow will be my last day. It is 19kms to Sahagun.
I have a train booked back to Madrid tomorrow afternoon to meet up with my old pal Al Cox.Read more
