The walk today was 23 kms. The first 17 were between Carrión de los Condes and Calzadilla de la Cueza. Then another 6 to the place where we’re staying, Albergue La Morena in the town of Ledigos. It is a comfortable albergue, with a good restaurant. We had a very good dinner in the company of two lovely (and lively) ladies from Scotland.

Today’s walk was mostly flat, mainly cool overcast to warmish, very little wind, one brief rain shower. It was almost perfect walking weather, through agricultural fields, with many many wildflowers, and the Camino way-signs.

It’s a weird life this walking from hostel to hostel day after day, no matter what the weather, no matter if you’d rather stay lounging around for a day or two. Very weird. And a bunch of other people from all over the world doing the same thing! Why???

Tomorrow it is on to Sahagún. We will be reaching the end of the Meseta soon.
