June 20, 2025,3. Hornillos - Castrojeriz

A negative highlight: Between Hontanas and Castrojeriz, a 1-kilometer stretch of 30-centimeter-wide path is densely overgrown with woman-high vegetation. Especially with the recent CCHF cases in Spain, this section is a clear warning.

If you haven't found a place to stay in Hornillos del Camino, you can continue 7 kilometers to San Bol and stay there in the pilgrims' hostel built in 1990. Built as a refuge for pilgrims, the hostel is equipped with only basic facilities, with no electrical or sanitary installations.

May 18, 2025,🇪🇦 Etappe 17: Camino Françes: Hornillos del Camino - Castrojeriz

The start was at 6:30 a.m. Even with breakfast. On this stage, too, there are no opportunities to stop for refreshments until halfway through. And the weather is beautiful. The Meseta is green at the moment. It's the breadbasket of Spain, flat and lonely. For many, a boring stage, as there are essentially only fields to pass. The occasional abandoned …

Today it started because of the announced heat before sunrise......so wonderful!
It was a beautiful moment to see the sun rise over the Meseta Then flowery and hot 20km followed.
I have never seen sooooo many poppies....then the interplay of the colors of different flowers in wheat or barley fields.
San Antón with its ruins of an old monastery from …

17.1. Wed Day 15 Today we have a small breakfast, perfecto! But then, for better or worse, we have to slip into our still wet clothes and go out into the rain. That's Harry in front, where could he be? The village was pretty manageable; I couldn't find any hotel-like accommodation anywhere. Shortly before Hontanas, halfway through the route, we …

Nice way through the Meseta, at first a pleasant 15 degrees, but on arrival in Castrojeriz it was already 25.5 degrees! In between, in Hontanas, there was a beautiful church that was lovingly designed for the pilgrims!

Another short day to take it easy. I'm getting close to my goal, I don't want to crack a few meters from the buffet 🤭😄. Cold this morning on the plateau and sunny at the end of the day, great.
