That was 12.3 miles on pavement and through industrial parks with no bathrooms. Made it a very loooong walk. Got to the edge of Burgos and had another 1-1/2 hours to walk to get to hotel. The City was more interesting than the industrial park, but was all closed until 11am.

The hotel is well situated near the big plaza with the Camino going right through it. There are restaurants and shopping there. I hope the bus station isn’t far because I am gonna need a taxi if it is. When I saw the Hertz vans I could agree more, yes, it hurts!

Settled for the night and elevating legs to see if there’s any “go” left in them for tonight and the possibility of being a sight seeing torista.

Got to meet up with fellow pilgrims . Went to the mass for pilgrims in the enormous cathedral. Then had an amazing caramel cheese cake.

Ready to snooze. This day feels like three days it was so full.Read more
