First, a note about Carrion de Los Condes. As best I can figure, carrion in Spanish means the same thing as it does in English. Dead, rotting animals. And Conde means “Count”, like: Conde Dracula.  So, the town is named for the carnage caused by the counts. As you read the history of the town, and the centuries of battles between Moors and locals, local king vs. another king, etc., “carrion” seems appropriate.

The walk from Carrion to Ledigos was beautiful, but nondescript. Like walking across the Great Plains. Here’s a photo:

Ledigos, where we stayed the night, is a very small farming community with just one alburgue (hostel) as a place to stay.  We were able to book a private room for two, but with shared bathrooms, etc. It served it’s purpose, for cleaning, eating and resting.

Another 15 miles in the bank.
