Ermita de San Nicolás

The Alto de Mostelares is the highest of the peaks you will encounter along the meseta, but it is not as difficult as it appears from Castrojeriz. From the top the view is more remarkable looking back towards where you came from. There is a shelter from the weather, but no water, at the top.

The Road

From the top the camino follows along a newly resurfaced stretch of the camino. Always downward, the descent is easy going after the first stretch which is quite steep indeed.

Between the Alto and the Ermita is a shaded picnic area.

It’s that kind of relationship - we like to see him after so many miles, and he rips us off. €6 for 2 coffees. But it’s our decision to buy or not.
Pleasant guy.

First time being robbed on the Camino, be wary of the food truck.

No prices and the guy just made up high prices, considering food was cereal bars continue extra kilometers to next town and breakfast there instead

6/17/24 picnic area isn’t shaded, but still a nice place to sit and rest!
