Spent four very pleasant days in Burgos. A truly European campsite with all nationalities coming and going - mostly on overnight stops - even from Ireland, Czechoslovakia and Finland, so they'd come a long way.
We can cycle the 4kms into the city with its beautiful riverfront or get the bus. We had to visit Burgos' famous Cathedral and Mike came across the brand new Museum of Human Evolution based on sensational recent discoveries of fossil remains of our very early European ancestors found in the Atupuerca mountains east of the city.
We walked a very short way on the Camino that runs through Burgos and saw plenty of peregrinos with rucksack and staff. Not many seemed to be smiling, perhaps because all they could think of was stopping for food and a rest at one of the many hostels.
We are up with our domestics, sitting out in very pleasant afternoon sun, ready to roll. The Douro valley in Portugal next, but probably not all in one go.
