Sublime - I will go with that description. xo

She walked the meseta in spring when it is vibrant green with acres of poppies and other spring flowers. I have walked it in spring and autumn.
In October everything is brown, copper, ochre, blond – no flowers, no wheat no grass. I loved it both times. You can walk for miles without having to look down at your feet!
In winter it is the arid, freezing wind-swept wasteland that one reads about.

It is wonderful-----on a bike.

I walked it on a full moonlit night with the modern day Templar Knights (Wind mills) guiding my way as they waived their swords as a warning to any who would stand in the way of the pilgrim...

I walked it with joy in my heart. Those distant horizons promising more and more. And I loved that, after those hill-top towns of Rioja and Navarra, the settlements were snuggled down in the valleys out of the wind.

Ah, and the wind. Steady, unwavering, wind. Something to lean on...

I crossed in winter. At one point there was a single bird singing in stubble, and no wind at all. The bird stopped singing, I stopped walking, and there was absolutely no sound. I think that's the only time in my life I've experienced complete silence in daytime. Just nothing. Weird, eh?

Loved the meseta!

I love the meseta. Anytime.

I feared the Meseta would be my nemesis but I loved it- isn't that the very best kind of surprise? It also provided some of the most sublime/mindless (in the best sense) walking I've ever experienced. I walked in early Spring time but reckon it would kill me (pale skinned redhead) to walk it in the Summer.

I loved it. The colours, the feeling of the wind in my face, the dance of the clouds across the landscape creating Chinese shadows . The red of the poppies against the blue of the sky and the green of the fields.

Can't wait to see the Meseta dressed in fall colours

me neither - it must be amazing in the fall. Of course that is now and we are in spring in NZ
