Castilla y Leon
... of the cathedral just after sunrise. After Burgos come the mesetas. These vast plateaus of land stretch out for miles and miles and the monotony of the landscape is enough to break your spirit when conditions are extreme. We'd been having a good few days of weather so I can imagine how it would be in the height of summer, something I would not attempt to do. The journey ...
Day 16 - San Bol to Itero de la Vega

It is exactly two weeks since I have been walking and it has become such a ritual to wake, pack my bag, have a quick bite to eat and begin walking. There is a certain predictability to the days however a lot is also left up to chance. For ...
