9/22 Stage Sixteen: Burgos to Hornillos del Camino

Today begins the walk through the Meseta, the northern part of the central high plains. I think it takes five days to get across. In 2019, the temps were much hotter. Few trees. Where the winds come sweeping down the plains. (Excuse me, Rogers and Hammerstein) Yesterday in Burgos, it was 58 degrees, cloudy, with 18 mph winds. There is rain along the way today, but it’s impossible to gauge whether I’ll run into it. Many people love the Meseta. It is not my favorite, but here I go.

September 24 Hornillos del Camino Villagers

At the Casa rural la casa del abuelo, there are friendly people to help travelers get to where they want to go. The man carrying the dishes of food called ahead to Mary’s lodging for the night, Hostal Linares, about 6 km away. The inn keeper is on her way down to pick up Mary. No charge!
And here’s the Italian fellow again!
