      Burgos 🍷🍸🍻🦪🍢🍖 food

      June 3, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      On est finalement resté à Burgos pour le week-end et on a, encore une fois, pas manquer de se faire plaisir 🙄😂.

      Des tapas, du vermouth, de la sangria, de la tarta de queso (très très bonne 🤩🤩🤩), des croquetas, de l'agneau de lait, des moules préparées, de la morcilla de aroz (litteralement un boudin au riz)... On a très très bien mangé pendant 2 jours. Peut être un peu trop 🤤. Le samedi soir, on était encore à l'eau et au coca à 21h... Bon ça n'a pas duré, maiiis quand même il y avait un effort.

      Bon on a aussi visité, pas autant que les bars 🤫mais ça, c'est pour un prochain post 😅.      Read more

      Burgos ⛪️🛕🚴‍♂️

      June 4, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

      Quoi de marquand pendant nos 3 jours à Burgos ? Ce n'était pas notre destination de base, on pensait aller plus au sud pour le week-end mais la flemme 😅. En plus, on cherchait des campings proches d'un centre-ville qui en valent le coup, mais dans le coin il n'y a pas grand chose, donc on est resté.

      On a bien aimé la ville pour la gastronomie 🤤 mais aussi pour l'ambiance 🎉. Il y a beaucoup de groupes (de tout à âges, c'est ce qui est le plus marquant d'ailleurs) qui se retrouvent sur les places du centre ville, dans les bars (jusque tard avec leurs poussettes pour beaucoup), et dans les parcs. On a été surpris du nombre de tables de pique-nique et de barbecues 🍗🔥 mis à disposition pris d'assaut le week-end.

      La ville dispose de beaucoup d'églises et cathédrales ⛪️, comme beaucoup de villes espagnoles, mais une est plus impressionnante.
      Classée au patrimoine mondiale de l'Unesco, la cathédrale Sainte Marie de Burgos, que l'on a visité et qui est juste immense puisqu'elle s'étend sur plus d'un hectare 😲. L'intérieur est très bien conservée. On a fait la visite avec l'app audioguide pour en apprendre plus, mais on n'a pas retenue grand chose 😅. Ça nous a occupé entre deux bars 🤣.      Read more

      Von santovenia de oca nach Burgos.

      May 18, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

      Camino frances, nach 14 Tagen. Heute führte der camino von santovenia de oca nach Burgos. Nach dem morgendlichen unverzichtbaren cafe con leche, ging es weiter auf dem zumeist gut markierten Weg in Richtung Burgos. Der Start mit Sonnenaufgang war sehr schön aber auch unspektakulär neben einer vielbefahrenen Bundesstraße, wo die LKW,s vorbeirauschten, dass man sein eigenes Wort nicht mehr verstand 😂😂😂. In Burgos, eine mit etwa 195000 Einwohner versehen Stadt, konnte man im mittelalterlichen Zentrum eine sehr schöne Kathedrale und einige historische Bauwerke bewundern. Morgen geht es dann in Richtung Leon. Erkenntnis des Tages: Allet wird jut. Fortsetzung folgt.Read more

      Burgos

      April 16 in Spain ⋅ 🌬 55 °F

      The morning of April 15, I took the bus to Burgos. Apparently the hotel I booked was pretty nice and right next to the Burgos St Mary’s Cathedral. It’s beautiful, though as a Protestant I admit that much of the interior ornamentation is lost on me.

      While on the bus, I was thinking that maybe it was time for my Camino to be done. Initially I felt peaceful about it, as it wasn’t turning out to be what I was looking for. But with time for prayer and thinking, as well as talking with my mom, I realized that I wasn’t ready to be finished. One of my goals has been to slow down, to take life at a more moderate pace rather than having the whiplash of going 0-100 then back to zero because I crash. So I stayed in Burgos another day to allow time to relax and walk the city (which is one of my favorite ways of seeing a new place), get some logistical things done (sending bags on, planning the next stages, looking at buses, etc).

      Food in Burgos hasn’t been easy, though I have found a couple restaurants that do pizza for celiac. The one a couple days ago was delicious! Waiting on one from a different place- tbd.

      As I was walking to lunch, I heard church bells ringing. I walked in, as I hadn’t seen this church yet, and quickly realized that a mass was about to start (service? Not sure if it was a mass or if there’s a difference). So I decided to stay. I’ve only attended one mass ever, when I was in high school in Mexico. While I understood much more of the words this time, about half was lost on me. The sermon text was from Acts where the church was scattered because of persecution. It was a reminder (again) that even in the hard things, where we don’t understand why things are hard or why we’re suffering, God is working. He used the apostles suffering to spread the Good News. I pray that the Lord continue to teach me about his providence and purposes.

      Also, I have the best parents. Apparently Riggs found a couple of SOS pads and thought they looked like a great snack, so he ate them! Dad took him to the vet, but they couldn’t get him to bring them back up, so they went to the emergency vet in KC, who took them out. Pup was supposed to go for a much needed haircut today, but instead is staying home to recover 🤦‍♀️ So thankful for my parents willingness to take care of my crazy and needy dog!      Read more

      Belorado to Burgos (50.2km)

      April 29, 2022 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      Spent today being a tourist, and it was lovely. The cathedral here is gorgeous, and the pictures I took certainly don't do the artistic work justice. There was a wall with a hand-painted mural on it that was stunning and I climbed up about a thousand steps to get to the castle and the views from the top were incredible.ohbya, and coffee! Back to the trail tomorrow.Read more

      Burgos

      July 12, 2022 in Spain ⋅ 🌙 82 °F

      Today our trek ended in Burgos. We traveled through the industrial part of the city, got a little lost trying to find our Albergue, but found our way, thanks to the helpful folks who live here. Today, one man who helped us, dubbed us "Las Tres Valientes!" We decided to keep it. 😄 Burgos is a large city, 180,000 people, with amazing cathedrals and churches, as well as old world charm. Today was Maria's last day on the Camino, before she joins her family in Mexico. To honor her last day, we stayed at a beautiful Jesuit albergue. We went to a short mass and were brought to the front receive a pilgrim's blessing by the priest. We were then served a communal meal, and had dinner conversation with new friends from France and Chile. Tomorrow, Marjory and I tackle a 31K trek, across the Meseta- it's supposed to be a hot one... Better get some sleep. Love to you all.Read more
