Today we walk into Burgos, we have read that there are several routes in. The first being the original way of the Camino. The second way is slightly shorter but walks close to the main road for several kilometers. The third way in walks along the river but is described as being rather wet and muddy after rain. As it hasn’t rained in a while we have decided to go via the river. We knew roughly where the turn off would be and followed our progress on buen comino app. When we arrived at the junction all the markers pointed straight on, no sign of an alternative route. We ignored the signs and turned off anyway to be rewarded with a lovely walk along the river.

Today is going to be a long day. We had planned to stop at 24km but found out that the hostel was full. We had a panick last night to find somewhere the only place was a futther 7km on. Well the upside is we’ll have less to walk tomorrow.

The temperature is slowly increasing and today seemed the hottest so far. Luckily we were heading uphill and leaving the fields of wheat and replacing them with trees, giving us some shade at times.

We also walked along the super highway a stretch of the camino 20 lanes wide.

Stork, stork.

Today started off early for us we were up and away by 7:30. After collecting our lunch we found our way out of town and back onto the Camino. We took a quick stop to photograph a stork.

When Jo realised that her sunglasses were no longer on her head. So we had to return to town to find them. Luckily they were laying on the pavement not far from our hostel. So leaving early was delayed by 40 minutes.

Today was o longest walk so far but having taken several short breaks throughout the day jt was quite manageable. We eventually ended up in a town with a lot of street art, a John Lennon bar and a church with 3 stork nests on it.
