The Fog Watch

Have you ever thought about how ancient mythologies find resonance in today’s world?

Facing 20km, we rose early to head from the Roman Mule market town and major intersection between the north-south and East-west Roman highways.

Outside the church stands a sculpture depicting two penitents draped in their hoods to signify that their penance is for God and not for public display.

With Sahagun in our thoughts, we woke early, refreshed and with a sense of anticipation.

Carrion de los Condes is a fair-sized town and we stayed near the centre, at Hostal La Corte (opposite Santa Maria church).

At dawn, we set out for Carrion de los Condes.

Boadilla beckoned.

Castrojeriz beckons!

With our sights set on Hontanas, we set off from Hornillos.

Sunrise Bound for Hornillos, I woke, still tired after a restless night, and was up by 0630am.
