Not many kms from our starting point, we had an awesome sighting. I was looking at some vultures in the distance when I saw some motion in the hills below them: it was a group of deers that had spotted us and were running way to the other side of the hill! They were like two kms away, but I was still able to capture them on camera. A few kms afterwards Luís spotted a red fox on a hill not too far away, but I wasn't able to take its photo.
It was the first day of the Meseta, a huge plain in altitude, extending for hundreds of kms. That means walking almost always straight ahead, with not much to distract you from the constant walking, so it can become really mentally tiring. And to add to that, we also crossed some of the worst mud paths so far. It was awfully sticky, and no matter how many times we tried to get it off, our feet would weight a ton again after walking another 20 meters.
So when we arrived at Hontanas, only about 18km away from Rabé, we felt we needed a decent rest from the mud and the wind. We ate the best bocadillos de tortilla so far, freshly made, and then a hot shower and a nap at the albergue.
