Castilla y Leon
... see how buildings used to be built; first of all wooden frames and then the addition of the walls. Some reminded me of the buildings I've seen in Stratford-upon-Avon including some with the first floor projection above the street. It was just after dark when we made it to the albergue in Burgos so unfortunately I didn't get to see much of the city. I did get to take a ...
Day 17 - Itero de la Vega to Villalcazar de Sirga
... does between 30 to 35 kms per day. The last part is a nice walk along the Canal de Castilla built in 1753 to carry the wheat on barges.

No day is the same but everyday offers you something special. We pushed hard (back to back 40km days) so we could have a rest day in Burgos. While ...
Burgos to Fromista
We started our morning with a bad breakfest at the hotel in Burgos, fruits werent fresh, bred was old, etc... So we stayed wery continental, ate cake and sipped our cofee. We managed to get to the entrance on the great cathedral at about 10'clock. Inside, you had the feeling that it was twice the size than expected, several churches within this cathedral, numerous tombs and altar showing the life of christ and the 12 apostels. I went through in 20 minutes, knowing that it was a ...
