    I loved walking Meseta. I walked early in the morning in October and it was great.

    One of the best days on my Camino was walking the Meseta starting at 3am, under the clear sky and a billion stars.
    Definitely something you should not skip. It’s a big part of the psychological journey.

    I returned last month after completing the Camino Frances. I heard a lot of pilgrims talking about bypassing the Meseta, fearful that it would be too difficult. I did it and I loved it! It was one of the most beautiful parts of the Camino.

    I enjoyed the Meseta. It was physically less demanding and in the Spring the green was refreshing. It is not flat, at all, it is undulating. It was like a recharge for me between the harder stretches. There was a time when water could be a problem but I never found it so, the number of outlets seem to increase year on year. The thing is to drink every chance you get, try to preserve your carried supply, check the stage daily - there is one rather long one. To be fair, I would not try it in the summer, I walked across in May.

    I walked last year through the Meseta peak summer season. There were some rest areas and small coffee containers, but I think they only opened around 7 or 8 in the morning. Since I started walking at 5 am, I didn't get to use those places. Every day, the morning on the Camino was beautiful, and it allowed for self-reflection during those 17 kilometers. I recommend walking the route; one should not be afraid and should embrace it.

    The Meseta was like an exchange for me. Tomorrow I walk to Sarria & this week is mucho sol but last week & a bit when I was on the Meseta it was mild weather. The Meseta generated memories I forgot I had. Even seeing a pea plant made an interesting change! I also realised how important trees are, their shade is most welcome. Awesome video 💚

    For those coming from the USA, Gatorade brand is not available, the Spanish equivalent is called Aquarius (made by Coca Cola) and it is widely available in towns in Spain (and Portugal for those doing the Portuguese Camino).
    I remember being in Ponte de Lima and having a shop owner looking at me funny while I was asking for “Bebidas esportivas 😂” just say “Aquarius” and they’ll know what you mean. Buen Camino!

    Ok the meseta is not hell. There is a bar in Población de Campos and also in Revenga de Campos. And I’m guessing in the other small villages too. People need to stop just taking the train from Frómista to Leon. I bought a house in Población de Campos and trust me it’s not hot all the time! It can get freezing cold and super rainy too. But suit yourself. The Way is Your Way!
