The Meseta in spring

[HighlandHind]

I've just spent a glorious week crossing the vast plains between Burgos and Leon. When I walked the meseta in 2012 it was late September, post harvest, and the land was tired, brown and golden yellow. In spring 2016 it was a fresh green world. This short post on my blog gives a flavour of what it's like to dip in for a brief camino top-up.

I started the meseta April 7 (a few weeks ago), it was not quite green and too early for wild flowers. I was a day or two ahead of bad rain storms. That probably helped spring along!!!

We leave in a few weeks - I am hoping to still have some greenery and flowers. In CA, at lower elevations, our green hills are browning up and the wildflowers are disappearing.

Is that first photo enhanced? I'm walking now and haven't seen anything that green?

Thanks for this advice. I have planned a May 3, 2017 departure from St Jean!
