302 km of walking and we’ve arrived in Burgos at the end of this stage. Today’s walk was shorter at 20 km with an ascent at the start of the day. But with tired legs after yesterday’s epic and it being the fifth day of walking our legs felt decidedly tired.


It was good to see Burgos in the distance from the top of the ridge and then for it gradually to come closer. The route wasn’t very exciting today but we were pleased to be able to walk into Burgos through the riverside park rather than the main road.



After a break we visited the cathedral which was amazing. Unlike many other cathedrals and churches we’ve visited, light poured into the cathedral. Even on a dull day the interior felt light and airy.




There were some old copes with fabulous embroidery. The sign said one of them was 15th century.




We still are having difficulty waiting until 8:30 to dine but it has to be done.
Well done!!!

Richie, thank you very much particularly from someone who knows what the Camino is like. I must go back and re-read Colette’s blog now I know more about the Way.
