A fond farewell to Burgos

28/11/2019

I had two things to do in Burgos this time: Visit the Museo de Evolucion Humana, to see the finds from the archaeology digs in nearby Atapuerca, which we walked past the day before, and go inside the cathedral to sightsee again. I met up with my new best buddy, the Swiss lady, who also … More A fond farewell to Burgos

CF Day 19 – León to San Miguel

18/02/2019

Rest day! Yay! We slept in, then went for a small wander and had a late, lazy breakfast in the sunshine at our local León square. Then we browsed our guidebooks and itinerary plan.

But it wasn’t over. It seemed the camino flu had rested too, and now it returned with a vengeance!

The Scouse Spouse went off into the dusk while I carried on sleeping, hoping to stay in the room until midday if … More CF Day 15 – Carrion to Ledigos

CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes

10/02/2019

I really don’t like walking in the dark. In the dusk I can do, so I can see my shadow slowly forming in front of me and try in vain to photograph the sunrise, but not in the dark, when you can’t see the ground or the landscape. Don’t like walking by flashlight either. But … More CF Day 14 – Boadilla to Carrion de los Condes
