Stage 11 - From Belorado to San Juan de Ortega |
||
 New Camino footbridge on leaving Belorado |
 Entering Espinosa del Camino |
 The town fountain also has goldfish in it |
 Many old houses lie empty along the camino - it is cheaper to build new ones. |
 |
 Cowslips |
 Waymark and landscape |
 Ruins of Abade de San Felices |
 Villafranca Montes de Oca; the El Pajaro gave us a very good meal |
 This refugio had lots of space for drying clothes (sorely needed) |
 The next section over heathland was very muddy |
 Valdefuentes; ruined hermitage |
 The fountain - but this one is not for drinking |
 The rain had gone today, but the camino takes time to dry out |
 |
 First view of San Juan de Ortega |
 Restaurant - another nice breakfast |
 Retable showing souls in hell - where you go if you do not complete the pilgrimage! |
 The pillar illuminated at the equinox with a shaft of sunlight |
 The onward path was muddy too |
