18th June Burgos to hornillios del camino

Another long stretch out of town, not fans of the cities. At least the sun is shining. Morning tea about 10k later In The village of Tarjados, laughs with few of those we keep bumping into now.

First introduction to the meseta (plateau) today, bit of climb, at least it a nice gradual one, to then be followed by many kilometres of amazing landscape. We were fortunate it was not too hot, has the reputation of being fairly relentless heat normally. There was a cool breeze that caressed the ears of grain, showing a multitude of shades of green as it danced across the many fields. 

Finally a steeper descent into Hornillis del Camino, here a kindly shopkeeper( the only one in town actually) helped organise our transport to "El Molina". 

Here we spent an extravagant night with a beautiful meal, followed by sleeping in our own room! Just two of us! Real sheets! Proper towels that are larger than a handkerchief! And don't smell! 

Later this day the wind picked up, rain began to fall.
