Interesting day, start in a flat are of the Meseta, but 13 km in we dive intoa valley, thru a town for a break and continue to follow the valley out onto the lower plains.. Pounding our feet to death on paved roads of some form or another four a good portion of the way... Coming into Castrojeriz, they were not very happy feet.
Not sure on the albergue score, it has a foot bath, little stream running they the outdoors patio, and other wonderful amenities... But the bedrooms are tightly packed...
The place has a giant wine press in the dining area saved offers tours of their winemaking process at 8:30 every night... Complete with a tasting of their own orujo! Time to see some pink albino Spanish elephants tonight :D !
There is so much more to write about but time is limited and the wine tour begins.
......
OK, the wine tour is over. The host is a very animated gentleman who illustrates how grapes were pressed and stored in ancient underground tunnels of which we got to tour a small piece... Wine, not orujo was the sample at the end :(, sadly no albino pink elephants tonight.
So much I would like to write about, do little time... Funny after walking and sleeping, the remaining time seems so full with the daily chores of a Peregrino.

Buen Camino!

I would like to spend a blog thanking everyone who has helped me make this possible, I'll need a quiet day for that.
We hope you enjoy every step tomorrow!! You'll go right out of Castrojeriz and up and up and the view is spectacular!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy how the simple taking-care-of-your-basic-needs-and walking make your time so gloriously full? We love following your Camino. It's -- once again -- amazing for us, as well. Kathleen (and Ross)
It is great to hear all about your adventures. And it is amazing that we were able to actually do it....everything worked out allowing you to go on this grand journey. The stars must have all aligned just right:) I am so proud of all that you are doing. Can't wait to hear all about tomorrow's adventures. I love you with all my heart. I can't wait to hug my teddy bear (after a shower and shaving off that scruff).
