First stage of the Meseta

Left hotel at 6.30am,  had breakfast near the cathedral.  It took us a while to walk through the city; it was lovely and cool and easy walking.  Two hours to walk 8kms to our coffee break, Tajados.  We walked through the relative wilderness of the meseta and came upon Fuente De Praotorre where we each had a nectarine bought off a mobile fruit vendor. We arrived at Hornillos del Camino 6 hours/21kms, managed to secure 2 of the last 5 beds. It was 12.30pm,  and this is very common.  We felt strong enough to walk another 5.8kms if we had to. Pictures today are of coffee break and where we are staying tonight.

  1. Well done team! Sounds like you have settled into a good walking routine and are well into it, but good idea to take a break on autobus and re-energise. Enjoying the blogs and following your progress! And a great distraction from all the election hype. Winston looks likely to have a key role again this time if the polls are right. Keep up the good work xx
