Walking the Camino de Santiago: from Hontanas to Boadilla
Another day full of impressions to share. I find that walking on the Meseta is very different from crossing the diverse landscapes of the first parts of the Camino Frances. But I like the long stretches through flat land, and enjoy the changing shades on the fields of grain. It must be my Dutch genes that explain why I like the endless walks in these lowlands.
Here is today’s video: enjoy 😊

Can I assume that those white birds with large nests on chimneys & on the bell tower are storks?
It seems that you are really moving along! If I’m converting correctly, 28 kilometers is approximately 17.4 miles. I believe you are walking El Camino Francés, which is about 500 miles. That is a real commitment, impressive.
As always, I’m enjoying the scenery on your walk. It seems soothing, peaceful. Stay safe!
🌻Very nice Alexander, I'm listening to similar bird tweets every morning. It's the ultimate wakeup call. Glad you got bunny's' seal of approval to pass-on on the trail. The rising sun stroking the lay of the land and trail, is awesomeness on this video. Hospital de Peregrinos, a pilgrim hospital. 🏥
Must have given a sense of comfort while walking this trail to all folks who passed. Thanks for showing that old historic (hospital/church) and explaining the healing of the very sick in the past. Now, a fascinating hostel to rest, made out of real old stone. Wondering what the population was at that time? I would settle for the romantici dream for todays' remaining 20 miles . . . 🚶♂️
