Camino day 10 to Población via Fromista

Mid 18th century lock and canals used to transport wheat until railways made it obsolete. Lock at Fromista (above and below) 14.2metres between upper and lower levels . 

The trail followed a canal most of the way from Boadilla to Fromista 

An old mud brick building near Boadilla. Mud buildings were common in this area of the Meseta

Church with gothic roof structure in Fromista 

Well rested this morning the hill just out of Castrojeriz was easily tackled, even with sore blisters on left heel and toes. That was the only elevation for the day, the trail was mostly gravel with larger rocks which required concentration to navigate. A trail stop of coffee and banana at 6km after the hill then coffee and cake at Boadilla, a really nice albergue there. Onto Fromista, a largish town with all the services and 3 historic churches. Only 4 km to Población where I planned to stay at an albergue. It’s a small village and both albergues where closed. (Both pilgrim office and my app showed them but they were clearly closed and not maintained. Next town was 12 km away so I checked into another nice little hotel for the night, as my feet would allow me to travel any further.
