Like yesterday, today’s walk was kilometer after kilometer of straight and boring. The photos below may look pretty much the same, because they are, but each was taken in a totally different location. We walked nearly 5 kilometers along a straight gravel path to the first tiny village, then another 12 kilometers to the next small village. As if for variety, the final stretch was along a senda (like yesterday). No interesting churches, no interesting much of anything. It’s easy to see why the meseta has a reputation for being difficult. There are, however, a couple of bright points to report: We reached the halfway point in our Camino today; and we are pretty much in the lap of albergue luxury tonight – our room only sleeps 4 people in a pair of bunk beds, and it has its own bathroom.
