Day 17 and 18 in Burgos

It's not all uphill and downhill with small villages. Yesterday walked to the big city of Burgos. Leaving village of Cardeñuela Riopico encountered new construction of motorway and had to walk up and down off and on ramps and those things not designed with footpaths. I then took an unofficial route suggested by guidebook which ran alongside southern perimeter fence of Burgos airport. About as interesting as exploring perimeter fence of Heathrow. The aim of this route was to avoid entry into Burgos by busy industrial area to North and enter via a " lovely park system" After the airport it was just like Penrose but continued and soon found the parkland which ran along side a river. I have a hotel for Saturday night - next to Cathedral and a hostel nearby for Sunday. Unfortunately cannot send some stuff on to Santiago as Post office closed till Tuesday because of Labour Day on Monday. Plan to visit cathedral todayLeggi altro
