Day 14 – Hontanas to Boadilla la Camino

We started the day before day break with a couple of coffees, and set off across the Meseta again. Our village was in a valley and we walked along a fairly flat area for a while, the sun rose behind us.

We had a sign of things to come with the double rainbow over the hills.

we eventually had to walk up and out of the valley, the incline was 12%  so it was quite steep.  A bit of a long steep walk.

What goes up must go down, the decline was 18% ,  not so long, but quite steep.

We broke the day up into 3rds again,  with breaks about every 10km.  For a change we walked through corn fields.

And the heavens opened on us again,this time we week got caught out in the open. We put on our ponchos, covered our packs and kept walking.
