13 May – The Day I Finally Got An Excellent Flan

I grew up eating flan for dessert. I love it! Flan is a custard dessert with a layer of clear caramel sauce. I hadn’t had a good flan for a long time, and hoped to get a good one while on the Camino. Today, for lunch at a cafe in Villalcázar de Sirga, I ordered one for dessert, and it was so good! It made my day.


Otherwise, it was a long, flat walk pretty much all the way along a secondary road, with wheat fields, a couple towns, sun and clouds, many other peregrinos from all over the world. Here are a few pictures from today:


My favourite thing from today (besides the flan) was a sculpture next to a bridge coming out of Frómista. I like to think of it as an Homage to the Nocturnal Peregrine. 


Good night from Carrión de los Condes!
