Day 10 & 11 Burgos

Arrived in Burgos, a city of 145,000, and thought how beautiful this city would be in the summer. Yes, it is still cold, windy and rainy but this city has so much to see. We started at the Castillo or castle which was the original city built in 884. North Battleford is celebrating its 100th birthday and Burgos is how old??? Yes, it's time to do the Math. Since the castle is on a high hill, you could see the entire city.

There was so much to see. There are state-of-the-art imuseums (very modern) and a world heritage cathedral. We even took a tour of the city in a "mini-train". The cold weather did not stop us from walking the passeo and looking at all the shops, restaurants and pastries. A great rest stop buy it is back to walking the Camino tomorrow.

This is a planner I used to help me plan the trip. Click on Burgos and see how many kms we have left to walk.

    Where did the mini-train take you and how many people did it fit?
    Why did you take the mini-train instead of walking? I thought you had to walk for the whole Camino? Are the Camino police going to come and take your passport?
    Are you having fun, or are you starting to feel really tired?

      So many questions. We had a rest day in Burgos. It's allowed and there is no Camino police. I will talk more about the rules of the Camino when I get closer to Santiago.

      The train went to all the historical sites and over all the bridges. We also went up to the castle and could get out to take pictures. About 30 people could fit but there were only 12 ion our tour. Cost was 4,60 and the narrative was in Spamish, French & English.
