    We left Atapuerca when the sun was just below the horizon, a very peaceful little town
    Atapuerca had one little grocery store open at 7 AM for coffee and breadWe walked up a long, gentle hill out of Atapuerca. It was covered with rocks, and looked rather bareSunriseView from the top of the hill in the sunriseIt's not Cruz de Ferro, but it's a crossFrom this point, we can see Burgos in the distanceWe passed two large mountains of hay😆🤣In Burgos, they were having a Renfaire, and we saw these Falcons with hoodsMr. and Mrs. PellegrinoA scene in Castañares1Some folks in Burgos dressed up for the Renfaire

    Atapuerca to Burgos

    October 8, 2023 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 52 °F

    We had a 20 km day today, neither of us had any difficulties, so that was good! We left Atapuerca when it was still dark, although just barely. Got some nice pictures of the sunrise as we were crossing the hill above Burgos. After we got near Burgos, we had to walk 7 km around the airport and then along the river before we got into town. We don’t have any pictures from that because it was hot and we were tired at that point.
    When we arrived in Burgos, we saw there was a Ren Fair going on, although different than the kind of Ren Fair that we have stateside. After taking a nap, we went out to see the evening and enjoyed watching the children and families play and eat in the streets and alleys and plazas until quite late at night.    Read more
