We started our Camino from Burgos today. We wanted to take it slow so we went from the Albergue Emaus to Rabe de las Calzadas - about 15 km. We have beds + dinner + breakfast for 25 euro each at the private albergue Liberamos Domini. Cullen and I are in a 3 bunk bed room with 1 other person. The weather is lovely. Vespers at 8:00 with the Benedictine - 2 minutes from the albergue.
Like Juan Yepes, the paella is pretty much always the same, but good. They have done a lot of remodeling since we first stayed there in 2016. They have nice private rooms and bunk rooms. Yes, we only walk about 10 miles a day or so. It is not as easy as it once was. Will you walk to San Nicholas (no electricity) or spend the night further along tomorrow?Apr 17. We had a nice communal dinner of soup, salad and tortilla. We went to vespers at 8:00pm at the Benedictine monastery The nuns did vespers, a blessing and a medal. I highly recommend this. It was a quiet night in the albergue. We left the albergue around 7:30, after breakfast and arrived in Hornillos around 9::40. There were no bars open so we waited around until 10:00 and one did open. There was a tienda open as you enter Hornillos. We walked about 12 miles today and it was hard for me. The whole way was a surface covered with small stones. Don’t be fooled and think that there is no elevation on the meseta - there is.
When we arrived in Hontanas we checked into Juan Yepes , got a double room (70 euro includes breakfast) and reserved dinner for 13 euro each. Can I just say that nothing looks familiar to me on this Camino so far except for the bigger cities like Pamplona and Burgos. All the smaller pueblos don’t look anything like I remember from 2010 and 2016. So far the bars have been few and far between. Okay, I’ve only walked 2 days this trip but I felt the same way when we walked for a week last year from Roncessvalles.
I assume that Cullen filled up with Tigres on c.San Lorenzo before setting off from Burgos?We started our Camino from Burgos today.

Buen Camino.
No, we will try to get to Itero tomorrow. No San Anton for us this trip.Like Juan Yepes, the paella is pretty much always the same, but good.

Can’t make reservations there but we are hoping to stay there. Fingers crossed!So if you have reserved, you won't stay at Santa Maria with the singing sisters in Carrion?

I think they open at noon and have about 50 beds so depending on how busy things are, you may want to get in line if you arrive before that. Good memories of our experiences there...Can’t make reservations there but we are hoping to stay there. Fingers crossed!
No, we stayed with the singing sisters- see post belowSo if you have reserved, you won't stay at Santa Maria with the singing sisters in Carrion?
My husband served at the municipal there in 2021 and enjoyed his time. They have apparently renovated the municipal and expanded the capacity now.23 April 23 - Sahagun to Calzadilla de Lis Hermanillos: 15.1 kms/8.4 miles April 23 Sahagun to Calzadilla de Los Hermanillos.
What a great walk today! We walked a variant route today out of Sahagun (Calzada de Coto to Calzadilla de Los Hermanillos) We only saw 3 other pilgrims on the way. The weather was great, it was cloudy but beautiful like only the meseta can be. We could hear the cuckoo in the distance and there were wild lavender and thyme plants lining the path. We arrived at the Albergue La Trajana early, around 12:30. (Rates are 20€ for a shared room, 50€ for a dbl room) We had a nice lunch at this albergue. Had a nice nap and afterward we went for a stroll around town And found “La Calleja de Urbana”, a nice bar/restaurant with a lot of character. Unfortunately we got there too late to eat but I think you can get a good meal here (http://lacallejadeurbano.com/about.html). Always a good sign when there is a small barrel of Vermut sitting on the bar with a spicket
When we walked past the municipal I told Cullen I thought I remembered reading that your husband had volunteered there. We didn’t go in but it looked nice from the outside.My husband served at the municipal there in 2021 and enjoyed his time. They have apparently renovated the municipal and expanded the capacity now.
We left Leon and it was such a long walk out of the city, about 4 miles. It was actually good for me because once we get on the country paths I get pebbles in my sandals. When we arrived at the albergue we were starving so we dropped our bags and walked a couple of blocks to the bar and shared a sandwich and a salad, it was okay. This place (San Antonio) offers dinner at 7:00 and breakfast at 7:00. I hope it’s good because I’m still hungry. |
