Day 14- Hornillos del Camino to Castrojeriz

April 22, 2017. 

12.5 miles (20 Km). Nice sunny day that started pretty cold. Left Hornillos to a nice gradual hill and spent quite a few miles on the heights of the meseta. Had a little break in Hontanas, a small town in one of the valleys, and then had another long walk on the meseta to Castrojeriz. We appreciate the small changes in elevation to get a break from the long flat areas. A pretty good portion at the end today was on the road.

Seems like a lot of people from the last few days took a break in Burgos. Others have gone a bit further, since we had a bit easier walks the last 2 days. So we keep meeting new people. There are more Australians lately, and a good mix of ages, which is very nice to see.  Castrojeriz is a bit bigger and we were able to walk around and explore.
