Day 12 - Villafranca Montes de Oca to Orbanejo 27 kilometers

We prepared ourselves for some major climbing today due to our guidebook's elevation maps.  But those maps were inaccurate and it was not a big deal. We traveled 12 kilometers in around two hours. A small time later we found ourselves in a village where we thought we might stay but it was very early so as usual, we pressed on.  We found ourselves mid afternoon in the last town before a long trek to the city of Burgos.  We knew we couldn't go on but there appeared to be no place to stay.  We went in a local cafe/bar and asked the owner if he knew of any place to stay. Although we could not understand him, he pointed us back up the road 100 meters to a Casa Rural.  We found the owner there and she had just finished cleaning after a group had occupied her house for a month.  How lucky for us!  The Camino Provides!
