      Burgos/Hornillos del Camino

      July 20, 2021 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Resting up in Burgos has been good. My ankle was bugging me pretty good and it’s feeling somewhat better now. Just sleeping in in a private room is nice. The cathedral, unfortunately was closed to prepare for the 800 year anniversary celebration. Saw some of the sights, but mostly just layed low and rested on Monday. I iced my foot and tried without luck to find a place to get my ankle taped. It’s better from having the rest, but I need to protect so it can heal up. We want to keep going, but I can’t risk making it worse. We picked an alburgue to forward our packs to last night and are splitting up for the day. Dale is walking to Hornillos del Camino and my plan was to keep looking for foot help and then take a bus there. I found a sports medicine clinic and went there first thing this morning to camp on their door. I caught the first person that showed up and they are going to work me in at noon! Then I’ll catch a bus that leaves at 1:15 for a town near our planned stop for the day.Read more

      Burgos

      June 29, 2015 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

      The Camino is an amazing place. The walking is challenging, but beautiful and full of magic. Each day we walk, meeting and talking with people along the way. We all seem to have the same challenges of hurt feet and knees and everyone helps each other get through. It's a huge bond that develops between everyone. If we stop at the side of the trail everyone who passes asks if we are okay and if we need anything. We all help each other, sharing remedies, water, and food. Local Spanish people that we pass along the way are equally helpful and friendly. At each town people stop, sitting at the local cafe for a quick break, sharing tables and stories. During the evenings we go to the local cafe for a meal; our table of two quickly turns into a table of ten with people pulling up chairs and joining us for dinner in multiple languages and cultures. It is truly incredible!
      Yesterday as we walked into Burgos we met an old Spanish man at a confusing section of the trail. He was there helping to guide pilgrims down the correct path. A short time later, at another confusing area a different old man helped us. Again, ten miles closer to town an old man stopped us and guided us into the busy city, through a parade and right to the door of our stop for the evening! All the way through town he spoke in Spanish to us, with me understanding the gist of the conversation and Erin holding a conversation with him. It was wonderful.

      We are on day 11 now. When we arrived in Burgos yesterday, we were just in time for the San Pedro festival. Last night and today we watched the incredible festivities, ate amazing food, and walked around the beautiful church and city. We are enjoying a rest day today as the festival continues. This is am amazing and fascinating journey!

      To all of you at home, we love you dearly! And to Lilly -wow! your amazing little notes of inspiration have really helped us during our challenging moments! Love to you all! !!      Read more

      Ciruena Delrio to Burgos

      September 4, 2016 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

      We had an easy walk into Burgos. This time we walked along the Rio Arlanzon. It's Sunday so the closer we got to Burgos the more walkers, runners and bicyclists we passed. We are staying at Meson El Cid, where we stayed last time, and have a beautiful view of the cathedral.Read more

      Burgos to Burgos - rest day

      October 10, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Ahhh, sleeping in is heavenly. Well, all things are relative as I got up at 0630, but that is sleeping in for me.

      Took out the razor and became a respectable looking American in Burgos and for visiting the cathedral.

      A busy city with wide sidewalks and many, many small shops and places to grab a coffee and snack. Right now I'm sitting on a shaded walk having just consumed a bocadillo with a coffee. I can really get used to this lifestyle.

      There are numerous statues around town that I need more Spanish to understand, but pretty typical of any large city with as much history as Burgos.

      The cathedral was spectatular and building began in 1220 or so. It replaced a smaller cathedral on the same construction site per the museum in the bottom of the structure.

      The audio tour (in English) provided much historical detail...more than I could absorb, but provided the religious individuals that played a part in the cathedrals' history. I need to add that the interior was spectatular with all the smaller chapels that surrounded the main sanctuary, the wood carvings, the reliefs, the gilding, the ceilings and the architecture itself. Too much to capture in pictures, but I've attached a few of the better ones.

      Small world. As I was finishing this, I looked up and there was Jim, the Canadian that was in the picture I took having dinner in Longrono. We chatted and he treated to a second coffee so I am totally charged.

      Many street vendors along the river and I found some gummy candy that I could not resist. Also stopped by the mercado for breakfast food. Tomorrow is only a 12 miler, but might as well fuel up before leaving.

      Just rerurned from dinner consisting of a smoked fish salad and a beer. Dad's walking and pushing baby carriages, older men doing the same (grandchildren I assume, but could be wrong), and all seemed to be having a wonderful evening out and about in this moderate autumn weather. I truly feel blessed to have this opportunity.

      Tomorrow is another day and until then...      Read more

      Santo Domingo to Belrado

      September 23, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      9.23.17 Saturday
      Relatively easy walk with beautiful rolling hills. Started out as very comfortable walking weather as we walked in a cool fog. By noon we had removed all jackets and by afternoon it was in the 80s. Mostly rolling plains of wheat, sunflower and grains.
      Dryer warm weather as we enter Ribera del Deuro wine region. The red items in the picture below are large red peppers hung from a railing.      Read more

      Burgos II

      September 13, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

      AUSGESCHLAFEN. Endlich mal länger als bis 6 geschlafen. Nach einem Frühstück aus Chorizo, Käse und Brot ging jeder so seiner Wege. Raffi und ich machten uns auf für unser Dinner einzukaufen. Nicht einfach in Spanien. Waren vorher aber noch etwas shoppen und ich war beim Friseur. Haben dann alles gekauft. Rotkohl, Schwein,Wein, Kartoffeln etc. um das Abschiedsessen von Loriano und Shay zu kochen. Shay kann körperlich nicht mehr und Loriano muss wieder arbeiten und läuft die zweite Hälfte nächstes Jahr.
      Nachmittags haben wir die Kathedrale von Burgos besichtigt. Nicht umsonst UNESCO Weltkulturerbe!! Wuderscöne Architektur.
      Anschliessend haben Raffi und ich mit dem Kochen angefangen. Nach drei Stunden und einigen Problemen Dank schlechter Ausstattung, hatten wir es endlich geschafft ein richtig deutsches Essen zu schaffen. Das kam überraschend gut an und es wurde gelacht und gegessen bis zum Umfallen. Dann kam die Verabschiedung. Es flossen einige Tränen,aber wir sind uns einig,dass wie uns alle wiedersehen.

      Belrado to Vilafranca

      September 24, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

      9.24.17 Sunday
      With no available accommodations ahead and Manny feeling under the weather with cold symtoms, we had a relatively short day. We still managed to cover about 11 miles of mostly flat terrain. We passed several quaint villages but there was little activity (Sunday morning). One town had a fountain that if you dipped your head in it, was supposed to give you energy. But, there was a sign indicating the water might be contaminated. We were happy to end the day a little earlier as the temperature approached 80°Read more

      Took the train from Pamplona to Burgos today and met up with Chris & Mike. Ate at a tapas place in the square in front of the Burgos Cathedral which was incredibly beautiful. Had a lovely chicken salad and Diane had tortilla con polo and of course we had sangria too!Read more

      Etappe 13: Burgos (-489km)

      October 16, 2016 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C

      Mit Burgos haben wir, also ich und meine beiden dänischen und holländischen Mitpilger, die nächste größere Stadt erreicht!
      Der Nachteil ist, dass es sich ewig zieht, bis man endlich ankommt. So auch heute - erst durch ein Industriegebiet und dann durch die ersten Stadtviertel. Man denkt, man kommt niemals an...
      Dafür haben wir heute die 500km-Marke bis Santiago geknackt! Und darauf mit ein, zwei Bierchen angestossen 😜
      Und abends haben wir die Leute aus unserer "alten Gruppe" wiedergetroffen, die wir seit letzten Sonntag, unserem halben freien Tag, nicht mehr gesehen haben.
      Die Wiedersehensfreude war wirklich groß - und auch darauf wurde angestossen (mit belgischem Bier im Irish Pub)
      Ab jetzt geht's wieder mit den Leuten weiter - wenn wir mithalten können, denn die hatten heute einen Tag Pause...
      Und auch die Gruppe von letzter Woche bleibt uns hoffentlich noch etwas erhalten.      Read more
