Motel 6 On the Camino

"We'll leave the lights on!"

So, I have mentioned the mentioned that the part of the Camino that we're on (and have been on for the past week) is called the "meseta". It has long distances between villages, beige plateaus, no shade & is not very interesting. Even the little villages we have passed through don't have much there. Today our walk was okay, but most of it was on a road that was not very busy along corn fields. The most exciting thing was sering a green tractor and the we saw a blue tractor. Quite honestly, I don't have many pics for today because there wasn't much I wanted to remember. Jim has done a really good job booking places to stay at night. Tonight's place got good reviews but, it is a truck stop. Not the quaint little b&b I would picture if someone told me they were walking through old villages in northern Spain. Motel Avia is clean & comfortable, but totally devoid of character or beauty. It is just one more example of how the Camino is a metaphor for life. Sometimes where you are is not good or bad, it's just a truck stop.Læs mere
