Day 9, Cardenuela Riopico to Villalbilla

Day 9, Cardenuela Riopico to Villalbilla, 25.5km.

After a good sleep at a very nice albergue we set off at 7:20am and soon hit the industrial outskirts of Burgos. A tour of the Caredral de Santa Maria XIII reconfirmed my almost disgust at the power and wealth of the church. See photos and tall Paul's comments.
We had a drink and tapas with some Spanish friends we met on the trail. A male couple who live just outside Madrid. Really nice guys. We were joined by 2 girls from San Francisco. When Paul mentioned that he had live there in 1987 their reply was 'we weren't born then'. End of conversation.
Terrain covered today was flat so easy going even though it was hot in the afternoon. Not so easy walking after a glass of wine, followed by a beer. 30km day tomorrow so we will be in bed earlyLæs mere
