Day 16: Burgos

It was 38 “feels like 35” degrees Fahrenheit when we left Agés before dawn this morning—and I was looking forward to getting a warmer layer of clothing in Burgos. We were thrilled to be on the move, though.

After last night, we’ll be booking smaller 4 to 8 bed bunk rooms or private rooms. There were two people in the dorm who appeared to be quite ill, along with so much loud, frequent coughing from all directions that we both slept wearing K95 masks.

The 23 kilometers to Burgos didn’t fly by as effortlessly as yesterday’s mileage, but we did enjoy some beautiful vistas along the way.

After checking in to our hotel, we set out to find some lunch and were very pleased with a meal we had right around the corner.

Tonight we’ll have dinner with some pilgrims we’d first met at Orisson, and tomorrow we’ll enjoy a rest day here in Burgos.Read more
