A day of plateau and silence. Hontanas appears suddenly in a hollow, invisible until you are on top of it. Then the ruined arch of the San Antón convent, which the Camino walks right through, and Castrojeriz, stretched out below its castle. For many pilgrims, one of the most beautiful stages of the Meseta.
