A wonderfully clear morning and brilliant sunshine and blue skies all day. A short flat walk so I chugged along at average 5.3 ks per hour and arrived in Carrion de los Condes a few minutes before the Albergue opened. A nice welcome, with tea and a biscuit as you stumble through the door. Only seems to be two showers in the whole place though.
The portal of the church of Santa Maria del Camino is said to depict a scene from a time before the Reconquista when the local population had to send 100 virgins to the Moorish overlords - but i don't know I would have picked that without the guidebook. Like so many of the churches through here San Maria is decaying away.
The cast of the Camino keeps changing - quite a few people walking the Camino in stages seem to stop here. Some others I suspect might be giving it away altogether. The next section to Leon, hopefully four days walk, looks pretty sparse, so I found the supermercado and stocked up. Found a shop and bought another recharger - my second so far. Hopefully the last for this trip.
Tomorrow to Terradillos de los Templarios, about 27 kilometres but mostly flat.
