[QUOTE="VNwalking, post: 392137, member: 38350"] Haha, WokabautMeri. I guess I don't know Spanish songlines so well. ;) So today was much more straightforward. Very different landscape, and a lot of road walking. Mostly small roads fortunately, the only exception being a very long straight 2 lane road out of Revilla de Campo...probably 4 kms and the cars were flying past. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Santa Maria de Lara was indeed closed, but even the outside was impressive, with its beautiful carvings. And I was there at about 8 to enjoy the deep morning quiet and to slowly take it in. I found the place quite moving; the care and love that went into its building so very long ago were still palpable...and if those stones could speak... The general setting is special too--there are old villages, a ruined castle on a nearby hill, high bluffs with caves. It would be very easy to stay in this area for days, poking around--and good side trip after the Camino with a non-walking partner perhaps. I stayed at Pension Casa Julia in Villaespasa because the one in Mambrillas was full...only 15 € for the very nice room and they picked me up and dropped me off again in the morning! (One thing I wish I had been able to see yesterday was San Pedro de Arlanza...I passed the turn-off but there was no time or energy with all the getting lost...and anyway I had no idea how fantastic it was until I saw photos in a book at Julita's. It looks amazing.) After going over the hill to Quintanalara the landscape was less 'special' to my eye, until between Los Osines and Modubar de San Cipriano, unfortunately partly marred by a huge and ugly quarry. On top of the bluff nearby is a largish hermitage overlooking the valley and i was tempted to have a look but my ankle was not up to the climb. The village churches between Revilla del Campo and here all seem particularly large and fortress-like, but none were open. Modubar de San Cipriano sits in a valley surrounded by low Altos, wheat fields down low and the heath up higher obviously used for sheep...lots of them have been using the road! Tomorrow Burgos! I hope to avoid the bedbugs. [/QUOTE]
