Fortunately, the only open place we found at Castrojeriz, La Taberna, was great. We had the best hot chocolate we have ever had, some toast and, to finish it off, the owner offered us some caldo de morcilla on the house. He was very friendly and said that the caldo would give us the energy we needed to face the camino (as if the thick hot chocolate wasn't enough already!).
After Castrojeriz we ascended to another high plateau. The view from up there was indescribable. Seriously, my knowledge of the English vocabulary doesn't suffice to express what I felt looking down from that spot. I think even in my native Portuguese language I would have trouble doing it, if I tried.
Then we descended on the other side of the plain (to an equally fabulous view), walking through an infinity of fields until the next village
Luckily, today we didn't find much mud on the way, as Fiona gladly pointed out (she was walking about 10km ahead of us).
After about 28km we arrived at Boadilla del Camino. We preferred the municipal albergue (without heating) to the private one due to the price (4€ instead of 10€ each), but since it started snowing a few hours later in the afternoon, we weren't really sure on how wise that choice was.
We ended up sleeping with three blankets on top of our sleeping bags.. It wasn't very comfortable, but at least we saved some money!
