Buen Camino 2017/7:Meseta continues. Fromista to Ledigos.

The meander across the meseta continues.
Fromista to Carrion  de las Condes. 20 km.
Some of the path ran alongside the road at the start and the last part. 4 km in there is the option of an alternative route: nice and shady along the river and only an extra 0.9km.
 6.45 a.m. start.

 Following the road for part of the journey.
Fidel from Colombia along the river route. 
 Funky alburgue along the way complete with teepees.
 Kiwi enjoying the second stop of the day.
The stop was shady,  the grass cool under bare feet. Letting feet breath for 30 min. 
 One of the many churches along the way  - Ermita de la Virgin del Rio.

 Often a meal is available as you walk the way.
Two pilgrims having a rest along the way. 

 Not so far to go now!!
The landscape continues mainly flat.

Coming into Carrion finally. 

Staying in convent. Own room, pilgrim meal and breakfast for  €25. A lovely serene place. Real home grown vegetables from nun's garden. 


 The town is famous for decorating the streets with flowers during Corpus Christi.
This image is the streets in 2015.


Went to a pilgrims' mass in Santa Maria church.
