Glorious 25 plus day that climbed from Castrojeriz, up the meseta and back down along the Canal de Castillo, formerly used to transport grain from Fromista, the bread basket of Castillo, to the rest of the kingdom. All sorts of historic sites here, a beautiful church from 1066, another two or so from the 15th century.

But all are overshadowed by the fact that Fromista is the birthplace of San Telmo, Patron Saint of Sailors. That is him on the pedestal and the intrepid voyager on the right with the hat.
 
The country side is beautiful, wide open with climbs up to the open spaces and then huge vistas. We are getting out early before the sun begins to bake and try to tuck in someplace out of the sun by 14:00. Out of the sun, we are still cool and the churches with their thick stone walls are frigid.
