Atapuerca

Day 13 Atapuerca
Distance from Villafranca to Atapuerca 20kms

After a delicious dinner and a peaceful night’s sleep in the palatial
albergue we stepped out into the coldest morning since our walk began. The temperature was a chilly 3c and to keep warm we picked up the pace and made our way up the mountain. Within a short time we were at the top walking through the forest passing wild heather down the other side and crossing over a Roman bridge to the first small village of the day for breakfast. A very cute ‘bar’ with homemade delights and good coffee. We met an elderly gentleman (79) who was walking the Camino solo and having whiskey in his coffee “to give him strength” to continue his walk! We admired his enthusiasm and fitness and wished him Buen Camino.
We arrived at our lodgings for the night in the early afternoon and were pleased to be out of the cold the day having only reached 11c.
Heading for Burgos tomorrow and a rest day in what we believe is a beautiful city.Leia mais
