Can any of you pinpoint where this photo was taken, my memory and notes are vague. I think it's after Castrojerez on looking towards Hornillos del Camino.
TIA.

This is the downhill road into Hornillos. That town in the distance is Hornillos del Camino... I have several photos from my Caminos from this spot.

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.

Rather, before Castrojerez.
But yes, looking towards Hornillos from the top of 'Mule Killer Hill.'
Another pic, a similar time of year, on a day with rain coming:

Well, it depends which way you are walking as to whether it's before or after Castrojeriz, but if you are walking towards Santiago, i.e. east to west, it's definitely after Castrojeriz. I , too, have an almost identical photo taken from the top of that hill.
 
Before Castrojerez
 
More 2024 Camino Guides available
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
2024 edition: The Brierley Camino Frances Guide
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.
If you follow Greg's link above on Google maps it's before castrojerez.
 
Sorry!! !,000 apologies. I was getting my hills mixed up. The Mulekiller Hill (Cuesta (de) Matamulas [34,400 results] or Matamulos [1,560 results]) is after Rabé de las Calzadas and the village in the distance is Hornillos del Camino. It's about 24 km before Castrojeriz. The hill I thought it was is the Alto de Mostelares, which is after Castrojeriz and the villages in the distance you can see from there are Itero del Castillo and Itero de la Vega. But it's definitely Castrojeriz (477,000 results), not Castrojerez (2,030 results).
