We started the long walk over the Meseta. The Meseta is the section between the cities of Burgos and Leon, 180 k distance. It is relatively flat, at fairly high elevation. The town we’re in is at 825 metres. It is a long distance of huge wheat fields, very few trees and small towns. It reminds me a fair bit of Manitoba.

It has been quite cool. The Meseta is known for either being quite cold or way too hot. If it were hot, I don’t know that I could do it. The absence of shade (and water in between towns) is harsh. The cold I can handle. It is quite pleasant to walk in cool weather.

Hornillos del Camino is a small town. It doesn’t take long to go from one end of town to the other:

We stayed at La Casa del Abuelo, a beautiful small hostel:

I had fun looking for architectural details in this town:

We ended the day with a good meal and a Scotch. Another good day on the Camino.
