Day 9 - Burgos & Renaissance Fair

Planned rest day. After completing a full week of walking over 150km, we finally had a rest day. We slept in and then decided to take a bus from Logrono to Burgos (2hrs). This saved us 4-5 days of walking mostly flat along highway. For two non public transportation people we executed flawlessly. We saw our Camino friends walking along the road while munched on pringles and sped on to Burgos with a little sadness in our heart. Burgos was alive on a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

There was a huge renaissance fair outside of the most beautiful church we have seen so far on the Camino, the Cathedral of St Mary. The Cathedral of Saint Mary in Burgos is a masterpiece of Gothic architecture and one of the most magnificent monuments on the Camino de Santiago. Joan and I walked exploring the many exquisite chapels spanning centuries. Truly unbelievable our pics don’t do it justice.

We ended the night with street Epanadas and a cold beer and as we went to bed around 9 pm the city was alive and just getting started for a traditional Sunday night in Spain.Read more
