Interesting new addition to a small rest area in Terradillos de los Templarios the typical scenery for the first few miles of today’s walkour breakfast stop at a popular bar/albergue in San Nicolas del Real del Caminothe bar is filled with memorabilia, photos and interesting collections for the past 100 years+.returning to the path on the way to Sahagún.just couldn’t resist a closeup of these happy plants, adorning the path throughout Camino2023.This marker was on the outskirts of Sahagún, showing that we were leaving the province of Palencia and entering the province of León.This map of the province gives you an idea of what’s ahead of us.
We are at the extreme right side of the above map, in Sahagún. For the next 5 walking days (we will spend 1 rest day in León) we will be leaving the Meseta, with mountains already beginning to appear north of us. We are only about 65 miles south of the Bay of Biscay, part of the Northeast Atlantic Ocean.
The following 3 days we will climb into a mountain range, including the highest point of the Camino Frances, then descend into a valley that weaves among the mountains for another couple of days before climbing back into the mountains as we leave the Province of León for the Province of Galícia.
