Walked: 0. Camino2025: 67 mi.
As planned, we boarded a bus at 9:00 to Burgos. The bus stop was a mere half mile walk from our hostal. This skipped some 20 miles of walking that we have decided not to do on our last three Caminos, including today. It’s not extremely difficult, the services along the way are minuscule and it includes walking through a highly industrial section leading into the city. First time pilgrims definitely should experience it, as we did our first 4 times.
We stopped at our hotel to determine room availability. The desk clerk was in full non-commit mode, indicating the normal checkin time was 4:00pm!!
So, we had breakfast, then began what turned out to be a 5 1/2 hour wait to eventually get into our room.
Burgos is a beautiful old city and a building watching and people watching paradise, and we know our way around pretty well as it’s a must stop, usually multiple days, for our Caminos.
At 3:15 we walked back to our hotel, finally getting access to our room and settled in for the rest of the day.
