Camino day 8 to Burgos



UNESCO world heritage site at Atapuerca. Whilst building a railway ancient human remains were found .. up to 600,000 years old. Along with cave paintings, bowls and implements. 


Walked past the Bridgestone factory 10million tyres made here. Factory goes for a kilometre..

Cathedral Santa Maria in Burgos 

Tapas and wine
 

My first stop today after leaving Villafranca was at this little quirky food offering in the middle of the forest. Playing pink panther theme song when I arrived then James Bond theme song then “these boots are made for walkin”. Coffee an apple and a pastry please .. how much? Donativo was the reply (donation) Fantastic! 

I had a great nights sleep last night so my pack felt light again! The rest of the days walk was through villages until the outskirts of Burgos. 6km through industrial area before reaching the city peregrino precinct and my albergue, 10€.

The magnificent Cathedral is nearby. It is not open on Sunday or Monday so sadly won’t be able to see inside. 

Km today 38/Total 288

Camino day 22 to Santiago

  Walking into the plaza facing the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela felt strangely surreal. Thoughts and expectations of what would the Camino be like, would I be strong enough, will I stay well, will I find somewhere to sleep?  How would I feel when I reached Santiago?  I felt overjoyed in completing the pilgrimage, I was amazed by the Cathedral and the tomb of Saint James, and grateful that the journey had delivered the simplicity of life as a pilgrim that I imagined.  At the start of the pilgrimage you are provided with your Credencial (pilgrims passport) which allows you to stay in the albergues, and is proof of your journey as you get it stamped at churches, places of interest, cafes and albergues along the way. You are also provided with suggested stages for each day usually 20-30km per day.  Most pilgrims follow the suggested stages, and many book accommodation a few days ahead, however I preferred to walk a little further most days and stay in “off s...
