Albergue at San Antón (Castrojeriz on the Camino de Santiago)
Along the Camino de Santiago-- 3 km before Castrojeriz and 40 km after Burgos -- are the ruins of the Convento San Antón, inside which is an albergue that can host up to 12 pilgrims each night. I had the honor of volunteering there for 18 days in July, 2017. Here's a little tour.

Day 13- Camino Santiago: Tardajos to Castrojeriz
August 18- Up early to hit the Camino by 5:30. It was my hope to catch Isidoro in Rabe de las Calzadas and much to my surprise and delight he was accompanied by 2 new pilgrims who had started in Burgos, Manuel and Livienne. We were to become the Selfie Quattro gang.
We were in the Meseta now and heading over Alto Meseta towards Hornillos del Camino. It was a joyful morning of introductions and more. Manuel, Mannie is a New Mexico native and Livienne initially introduced herself as a Hawaiian, later to be revealed as Hungarian. She is a positively delightful woman in her early 30's and I enjoyed getting to know her. Mannie would prove to be one of my best friends on the Camino. Along the way I scavenged for wire as I had run out of my favorite gauge for mobiles. I found some at what looked like an old processing area for whatever it is they process in the vast farmlands around us. I brought it with me and soon we were in Hornillos. We found the Meeting place in a small square with the Bar Manola and tok the time to rest and grab a late Desyuno. Livienne, it turns out, is a massage therapist, much to Isidoro's delight. We pass time while he gets a foot massage and I make a mobile for the Bar Manola. I finish and present it to the waitress who happened to also be Hungarian (small Camino). We finished up and left hiking together to the Ruins of a Convent at San Anton. We stopped for a break and it was here that the 4 person Selfie came into being. They wanted to rest and I wanted to press forward. We all agreed to meet in Casrojeriz at the Albergue San Esteban. I took off only to have them catch me later as I searched for rocks and meandered the last few kilometers.
The evening was fantastic and I prepared myself for a very early morning rise to dash to Fromista before the Correos closed. I was expecting a package.
Castillo de Castrojeriz y Convento de San Antón
Dos lugares que hay que conocer. Castrojeriz sola ya tiene atractivos culturales e históricos para visitar, el castillo es otro más que nadie debería dejar de ver, espectaculares vistas desde 910 m.
Y el Convento de San Antón, las ruinas, igualmente. Antiguo palacio de Pedro I el cruel, fue más tarde ocupado por unos religiosos que se dedicaron a cuidar a los peregrinos de una enfermedad muy frecuente en aquella época derivada de comer pan de centeno. Ruta del Camino de Santiago

Day 14 Sunrise on the Camino Frances: Hornillos - Castrojeriz 2016
Camino Frances takes closer and closer to the quiet abandonment or desolation of the Meseta or desert of sort. Spectacular sunrise, brings promise of a new day. We walk by the ruins of XV century Convent of San Antonio. It is Friday, September 2nd, 2016. Meseta is like nothingness in the eyes of this word, but abundance in the spiritual world. Something important is about to happen. On day 15 we will walk the Meseta. We walked total of 20 kilometers today.

EP18 - CAMINO FRANCES | The day we slept in a prison!
DAY: Salceda to Monte Del Gozo
DISTANCE:
18 miles (lots of exploring today, 41k steps, 29km
We started we the day with the best breakfast so far. Banana, yoghurt, honey, croissants, a mug of coffee and toast. Perfect!!
It’s been another wonderful day of Forrest trails. Today the trees looked rather mysterious and magical.
We stopped for an early lunch with fellow pilgrims at 11.30am. An hour later we continued our walk all the way to Monte del Gonzo.
I had mixed emotions when Rachel and I first arrived. This Albergue is like no other. It holds 400 beds and the site looks like a prison camp (See video that I will post when we return). We didn’t see any familiar faces and we knew Julie & crew were a few hours behind us. We dropped our bags at “The Prison” and walked up to the sculptures where we caught our first clear views of Santiago and the three spires of the cathedral.
After discussions about how this Albergue would be perfect in “The Walking Dead” we had a brief chat about perhaps walking the extra 3 miles to Santiago. It was only brief as I’m keen on seeing the sunrise over the city in the morning and I want to have energy when I finish this journey, not be hot, sweaty and tired.
I had a shower at “The Prison”. It was one of those communal showers where you have to dress in the open (not very British!). The door to the shower was made for very weird shaped people as it hardly covered anything! Imagine my horror when I am washing shampoo from my hair and I hear a male voice singing. Luckily he continues to mop the floor with his head down, otherwise he would have had a surprise!
Pizza and then an early night as we walk into Santiago tomorrow.
What a journey it’s been!

Monasterio de Ríoseco
Los monjes bernardos ocuparon a principios del siglo XII, una pequeña
explanada a la izquierda, de la carretera que asciende hasta San Martín
del Rojo, al norte de donde se encuentran las ruinas del Monasterio. En
este lugar todavía podemos ver parte de los muros hasta donde llegaba
el recinto cerrado del Monasterio de Rioseco. Allí permanecerían, hasta
que en el año 1221, la comunidad compró a los Velasco un extenso solar
donde ubicaron el nuevo Monasterio. En el siglo XIV, Rioseco formaría
uno de los más potentes patrimonios económicos de los cistercienses
castellanos. Seguirían años de penuria y crisis a mediados del s. XV y
años de crecimiento como en el s. XVII. Desde 1808 a 1809 los invasores
franceses embargaron buena parte de los granos almacenados y desde este
ultimo año hasta el 29 de Junio de 1814 los monjes tuvieron que
exclaustrarse. Aunque volvieron a él, no duraron mucho ya que, el 29 de
octubre de 1820, los comisarios del gobierno revolucionario tomaron
posesión de este monasterio.

Camino de Santiago: Hontanas a Boadilla del Camino. Camino Francés, 13.
Nos enfrentamos a kilómetros de camino con escaso arbolado que permita guarecernos del calor o la lluvia, pero es una de las etapas más completas del recorrido. Unos primeros kilómetros por caminos y lejos de las carreteras hasta llegar al Convento de San Antón y Castrojériz. Su iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Manzano combina el románico y el gótico. Desde aquí ascendemos al Alto de Mostelares y disfrutamos de unas estupendas vistas de la comarca Tierra de Campos, “el granero de España”. Tenemos siete kilómetros por estos campos hasta el río Pisuerga, que lo cruzamos para entrar en la provincia de Palencia. En Boadilla del Camino no dejéis de visitar el rollo gótico y la iglesia de Santa María de la Asunción. Es una de las etapas más bonitas que se pueden hacer en primavera. En verano hay que tener mucho cuidado con el calor.
