Day 17 – Rabé to Hontanas

Full 12 mile day. We left Rabé around 8 am and went over a meseta into Hornillos and then over another meseta into Hontanas. The Albergue Mesón el Fontado in Hontanas was a very old building built right into the hill. Here are some meseta shots and a picture from our room.

We had time in the afternoon to enjoy beer in the sun. We had a nice talk with a peregrino from Vancouver and a long talk with Andrew from Great Britain, with whom we also had dinner. We gave him one if our Camino cards and got his contact information also.

Day 16 – Burgos to Rabé de las Calzadas

We left the Hotel Norte y Londres around 9 and did our best finding the Camino. We got a great last look at the Cathedral. 20130421-172251.jpgWe then went over a bridge and out of the city of Burgos and into the province as we approach the meseta. 20130421-172546.jpg20130421-172536.jpgOnce we got to Rabé, we checked into the Albergue and later looked around town. I also played around with the wide angle and fisheye lens which I got for Christmas from Abby20130422-172622.jpg20130422-172635.jpgThe Albergue we stayed in was called Libéranos Domine, based on an old saying about the mud between Tardajos and Rabé, that God should deliver us.
