Belorado to Ages.



Today saw more sunshine, but a freezing start to the day, around -2 degrees. More lovely undulating Spanish countryside, a fabulous hot chocolate stop at a tiny cafe in the middle of nowhere, oases can be found, "Seek and he shall find..." The later steep climb out of Villafranca Montes de Oca was slightly unexpected as it was steep. Around 150 m in around half a mile, I can see the look in my lovely wife's face at the thought. The next 9.5 km were at around 1000m through the pine woods , these smelt beautiful. Around halfway through this a small "Oasis del Camino" seemed a great place to stop for cereal bar and water. My feet were aching a fair bit so it was not too long or I would have found it hard to continue. The sculpture in the picture was at the entrance to St Juan de Ortega. A further 3.6 km and the Albergue Taberna Ages at Ages. Good beer and fabulous food. Laus Deo.

Monastery of St Mary Magdalene

A further walk up the hill in Sarria and I found at the top a monastery that last year celebrated 400 years of witness to the Christian faith. I rang the bell and gained admittance to cloister and the church. I am so glad I did. There was an incredibly peaceful atmosphere in the church. Just enjoy the photographs and through them drink in something of the sanctity of this place. How important such holy places are to the strengthening of our faith. Monasteries, Shrines, Churches, even church ruins or ancient abbey sites. Perhaps you have a special dial one that moves your heart?

Carrion de Los Condes to Calzadilla de Cueva

Image
Today took us along an 8 km stretch of open countryside along a Roman Road to Calzadilla where we found an open municipal Albergue. What a joy as there were very few pilgrims there and it was sparkling clean. A walk around the hamlet (population 90), showed that lots of the buildings were traditionally constructed. The local earth when mixed with straw dries rock hard. I guess rather like a lime plaster. In our concrete loving world it was a reminder of more sustainable and eco friendly days. As these buildings fall into disrepair it is dust and timber that remains. It is also pretty simple to repair. The wood is local, the earth is local so low mileage transport too. I wonder how easy we find it to make that kind of decision? To think about the effects of our decision or to consider the environment and its future in our decision making?

The road to Belorado

Image
This was a positive day, walking carefully, having rested at Santo Domingo. Undulating landscape broadly parallel to the Nacionale Route 120 pausing here and there for water. I could imagine the children of Israel looking at this as a the entry to the Promised Land, not quite there but looking good! It was therefore a joy to arrive at Belorado. The Hospitalero could see those of us who arrived before they were quite ready for us, so we were allowed to skip on our beds for an hour before coming back to sign in. What super hospitality, cannot imagine certain chain hotels in the UK doing this.... "Blessed be the Hospitalero's for they shall find the mercy they give...I pray"
