Thanks. Going into my notebook.I am curious - what is the rush to get through the meseta? Perhaps another way to approach it is to choose some of the 'recommended' albergues on the meseta and plan your walk to reach those each day. For example...
I prefer Hontanas over Hornillos, and Hospital San Nicholas over Castrojeriz. Albergue En el Camino in Boadilla is a great stop, for the garden and the warm hospitality, and Albergue Espiritu Santo in Carrion de los Condes offers a break from the overcrowded, bunkbed-filled dormitories. Stop in Moratinos and you will meet Rebekkah from this forum.
Bercianos has one of the best shared dinners on the Way. If you go the other route after Sahagun, you will find fantastic hospitality in Calzadilla de los Hermanillos.
There are great pastries in Sahagun and Villarente del Puente, so at least slow down there!
And then of course: listen to your body, rest as you go, and enjoy it all...

I loved my stay at Libranos Domine in September 2013 with dinner and breakfast offered.One of my favorite places to stay at Libranos Domine in Rabe de la Calzada. That gives you a shorter first days walk, so that you can easily arrive in Hontanas on the second day. Although I have walked from Burgos direct to Hornillos in the past, I prefinier to cut the journey into two and, until recently, the Albergue in Hornillos is pretty Basic ( with a capital B), so not to be recommended! Aparently there is now a new Albergue in the village.
Also there is the weather factor to take into consideration. Anne

One more detail: They have 26 beds. Everything is very clean and comfortable at this lovely albergue.Do you have the details for this place ?
I walked the Meseta in May,having started in SJPDP. It took nine days from Burgos to Astorga, a distance of about 220k,. I really enjoyed this section and I hope to go back and walk it again,having walked to Burgos twice. There were many familiar faces walking similar distances every day, which made it very enjoyable. I would recommend not to exceed about 30k per day. I had a short walk (14k) to Leon. I would also recommend the following albergues, Santa Brigida in Hontannas(the best albergue on the complete camino),El Camino in Boadilla del Camino, Domenico Laffi in El Burgo De Ranero, San Pelayo in Puente de Villarente, and Santa Lucia in Villvante. A great adventure, enjoy.An excperienced pilgrim told me that it is easy to walk many km a day at the Meseta, is it true ? I will start in Burgos 15 th of june.
