Carrion de Los Condes
After a wonderful breakfast at our hostel we headed out for our 11 mile walk to Carrion de Los Condes. We walked along the river Ucieza, away from the traffic and busyness of the main road and came to the small village of Villalcazar de Sirga where they have been welcoming pilgrims since the 12th century. The town is the home of the church of Santa Maria la Virgen Blanca. It houses the tombs of nobles and royalty and the church is now declared a national monument. The churches south entrance has beautiful sculptures of the saints and angels as you enter it's doors. We had our pilgrims passport stamped there and took a tour of this beautiful church. We had lunch in the plaza opposite the church and then continued on our journey to Carrison which was 5 km away. We are settling in our hostel which is right over a bar !!! I expect we will not get a lot of sleep this night. Our journey tomorrow takes us to Calzadilla de la Cueza, only 10 miles away. The weather has been beautiful, sunny cool and breezy. Perfect for walking. Buen Camino
