The Meseta.
The Meseta is special. It is hot and barren and yet full of beauty. The pilgrim traffic is reduced quite a bit since those that have time constraints often skip this bit (9 days) and as a result of all this, there is more peace.
I love taking to people about “why” they are here. For some this is a physical challenge and others it’s a tourist event. For many this however has deeper meaning and i most enjoy talking to these folks.
Sometimes there reasons are spiritual or religious (a time to draw closer to their creator). Some are just seeking something/anything and they can’t express why.
