Beautiful morning leaving Castrojeriz.

Unfortunately, upon leaving town, the day starts with the mountain pass of Mostelares. It doesn’t look like much in this photo but the next 1.25 miles of the trail went up 465 feet.

Of course, after enjoying the view from the top, the backside just went down.

About 7 miles later, Itero de la Vega offered this very welcoming mural.

More nesting storks, wildflowers,

fields,

towns,

other birds,

and hills to view along the way.

Before and after Frómista.

Finally, Población de Campos, population of about 180. Excuse my brevity, it was a long day filled with many miles.
