Carrion de Los Condes to Calzadilla - May 21, 2015

This was a fairly straightforward walk. No services along the way (read banos!), fairly cool temperatures. There was a cafe movil (mobile cafe) that only had ice cream and cold drinks and it was about 10C. Don't think he  had very big sales that day. My destination was in Calzadillas, a very little village that had an albergue and one hotel - which I was in. Very basic and quite a come-down from the sumptuous San Zoila monastery but all you really want at the end of the day is to get clean, put your feet up, eat and drink something and sleep. This fulfilled all of the above. Didn't take many pics. It was more of the magnificant Meseta.

Facade of the Monasterio de San Zoilo, as I was leaving in the morning - really, if you are ever in the neighbourhood, must stay here.

Meseta - fields and sky

Another possible "The Way" moment - when Martin Sheen's character looks back and sees the image of his dead son leaning against one of these trees. Except in the movie, he was walking the wrong way! These trees - whether here or elsewhere - are always on your left shoulder as you are walking forward.  In the movie, they were on his right - i.e. he was walking the wrong way - only someone who has done this would pick up on that.  Do not care. As a fangirl - loved that image in the movie. :-)
