Camino de Santiago Day 11
Day 11: We woke up at 8:00 AM and had breakfast at 9:00 AM in
the restaurant downstairs. There was a nice buffet set up. We then got our
stuff together and Tatiana left 20 minutes before me to get a head start. I
caught up to her before the first town which was Granon. Tatiana had made lunch
reservations at the best restaurant in town so we had an hour and a half to
kill before our reservation. We stopped at Barbackanna and relaxed in a park
under the trees. We then visited a 15th century church (Iglesia de
San Juan Baptiste) in town before walking over to our lunch spot, Casa Grande.
We had an amazing meal there and started to hike again around 1:45 PM. After leaving
Granon, we soon passed over the border from La Rioja province to Castilla y
Leon province. There was a massive sunflower field on the border which was cool
to see. The first town we came to in Castilla y Leon was Castildelgado. Tatiana
took a bus from there and I continued onward the last 7 miles to Belorado,
another small town. We stayed at Hostel B and ran the usual errands
(supermarket for water/electrolyte drinks and laundry) before relaxing, walking
the town, and eating dinner at Etoile Restaurant in the main square. We ate the
pilgrim’s meal and it was delicious. After dinner we went back to the hostel and
relaxed for the night.
Distance hiked: 15 miles
