While some pilgrims skip the meseta it really is beautiful. Because I am moving slowly I have lots of time to myself - the fast movers are gone quickly and the next wave doesn't come through for an hour or more.

Bueno Camino 6: across the meseta
It has been cold and rainy across the meseta the last couple of days. Normally expected to be long hot days so the drop in temperature is okay but chilly nights. I am down to 10-13 km per day due to blisters.

I have stayed at little villages I would normally only have had a coffee stop at.
A cold wind this morning.

ReplyDeleteLove all your photos Paul! Hope those blisters are on the mend!! Hope you've got good gauze pads and plenty of sports tape to make them bearable? Loving reading you blogs, making the long winter days in Auckland brighter xox

DeleteIt does look absolutely gorgeous, Paul.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to our next adventure on the Camino whenever we make it there again. We will pick up the trail in Burgos where we finished in 2015 and tackle the meseta. We have read all sorts of things about the meseta including suggestions to give it a miss, but we still intend to walk it hopefully in not too hot weather.
