It was a lovely day of walking.
Even though it was a crowded room last night I slept very well. People started moving about at 5.30 am so I was on the road by 6.15 am. Such a nice time to be walkingRead more

I had a rest day today.
I spent the morning at the Museum of Human Evolution which was really interesting. It explained a lot about the area of Atapuerca that I walked through yesterday. It is aRead more
Traveler Wonderful to hear you are enjoying Burgos. I loved the Mesetta I hope you do to. Xxx
Traveler The Meseta has a beauty of its own. Not much shade though but am sure you will have an early start. Our feet certainly do take a battering walking day after day. Once you get home you tend to forget that!
Narelle Campbell I loved that museum too! That afternoon sun is getting hot. Can’t imagine how people walk in Summer.

Today was my toughest day yet. I started very early and it was foggy and cool, perfect for walking. But once the fog cleared it was hot!
I was hoping to stop at Hornillos del Camino but there was noRead more
Traveler Diane I am thinking of you and with you in spirit every step you take. To have had such a challenging day and still be grateful at the end of your day is a beautiful Camino message! Some people can be given a field of roses and only see the thorns. Others can be given a weed and see the wildflower. Gratitude will bring you joy. Keep enjoying every moment !! Sending you love and hugs. Lisa xx

It’s amazing what a good night’s sleep can do. Everyone in the albergue stayed in bed until seven am. I obviously wasn’t the only one who found yesterday hard. Had a leisurely breakfast in theRead more

When I woke this morning my foot was swollen and more painful and it was obvious I wouldn’t be able to walk today. Lesley from Durham was also injured so we shared a taxi to the medical centre inRead more
Narelle Campbell That does look dramatic Di! Rest up and be a good patient. Hope to see you back out there in a week.
Traveler It looks much more dramatic than it is. I thought at one stage she was going to put plaster on it!

I had another visit to the physio today and I am hoping I will be leaving Leon in the morning to restart my Camino.
I had breakfast and then lunch with other pilgrims near the Cathedral. Five daysRead more
Traveler Interesting about needing cash and how warm it is.. once again great photos. Sending our love to you Di ❤️
Traveler When I walk in September it doesn’t get light till about 8am. That sky is so blue and it certainly is warming up. I agree about the long approach into town. Did you come via the river? Burgos is a lovely town to have a day in so enjoy. You are going so well!
Traveler Burgos is a great place to have a rest day. We did that too. Foodie haven so dining out is superb. When we passed through it was “European capital of cuusine” for that year.
