This day was the first time we traveled part of the way separately. Beautiful day with much to see and experience, with a few surprises, too.
San Juan de Ortega to Burgos
Excited for our day of rest in Burgos, missing the path through the park, and our first view the magnificent cathedral.
Day in Burgos
Wonderful day of relaxing, sight-seeing, and expanding friendships! Great food and inspiring pilgrim mass.
Burgos to Hornillos
Back to carrying a pack, beginning our trek across the mesetas, and a beautiful community Dinner make for an excellent day.
Hornillos to Castrojeriz
Making new friends, discovering beauty in detail and in the old, and surprised by an unexpected dinner made up this day.
Castrojeriz to Fromista
Longer day began with another beautiful sunrise, a steep climb onto a meseta, then a sharp decline into a valley of farmland and waterways.
Fromista to Carrio de Los Condes
Wonderful day with friends, pleasant walking, a great apartment, home cooking, wine, chocolate, and a good night’s sleep.
Carrion de Los Condes to Terradillos
Passing the halfway point, we spent this long, hot day with friends from Australia and celebrating their team’s championship!
Terradillos to Bercanios
Another hot day, but a more shady path, meeting new friends, old churches, and enjoying observing a local domino’s and card game.
Bercianos to Mansilla de las Mules
Provided with a beautiful, shady path, we had an easy walk, but for some strange reason I developed shin splints in one leg. But a great dinner and good rest helped!
