Day 16 - Boadilla del Camino to Carrion de Ios Condes

Hi everyone,

When we left Boadilla del Camino this morning at 6am it was very cold! We had three layers of clothes on us starting off and it wasn't till we were 2 hours in that we began to warm-up a bit..

Walking parallel to Canel de Castilla brought us to the town of Fromista where we stopped for a snack and from there we made our way to Revenga de Campos. All these town names probably don't mean a lot to some people so have a click into the google maps if you want to have a better idea of the ground I'm covering.. In Revenga de Campos we dropped into the Santa Maria church which was nice and I lit a few candles for you all!

Our hostel for tonight is in Carrion de Ios Condes which we arrived at around midday (a lot earlier than we expected)! 27km in 6 hours with a few breaks wasn't bad going.. It was nice and sunny in the afternoon when we arrived. I had a quick show and polished off a roast chicken!

The hostel for tonight is a bit different to the other ones so far, it is called the Charity Hostel but Vespers are singing at 5.30 and then mass at 8 followed by dinner!

Tomorrow is going to be a long day, we have a stretch of 18km with no waterfronts or shops for food, so we'll have to stock up on some snacks before we leave Carrion!

Talk soon,

Ger
