It's so great to finally see the sun and hear "buen camino" as we pass other peregrinos. This is the "meseta" which is primarily large wheat and grain fields.  We finally ended our day in a delightful medieval village. Jerry always tries to identify points of interest  a day ahead in order to provide me with a running commentary on all things historic and while in this village, he insisted that we go to find the Fuentes del Gallo... Hen Fountain.  We haven't really discovered the historic value but we found it! However, while we were walking through the village, a gentleman insisted that we come with him to see a medieval header over his doorway.  He explained that it actually was the lid of a stone coffin with a relief of a Knight Templar. Fortunately, I finally convinced Jerry that it was too heavy for his pack.
