Back on the Camino Francès

Posted on by

Back in Burgos, we walked through the imposing gate into the old town. And there was the cathedral. This time we also wanted to see the interior. It’s impressive. The cathedral’s foundation stone was laid in 1221 by the King of Castile. The cathedral is full of chapels, with beautiful details. Here are some impressions of it.

Burgos is a milestone for many pilgrims on the Camino. The statue of Santiago in the church demonstrates the centuries-old history of the Camino.

Feeling nostalgic, we ate again at the pizzeria where we’d said goodbye in 2022, with some people we’d met on our trip.

(8) Burgos, our end point

Posted on by

Burgos, our end point, is about half way up the camino. Most of the people we spoke to walk as far as Santiago de Compostela. To our great surprise, we found people in Burgos that we had lost for a while. We had split a route into two short distances, they took a rest day. Our last night on the camino we ate a pizza with six of them.

We are back in the Netherlands, they are still walking. With all those nice people in mind, we’re not quite home yet.

We hope to continue our camino next spring.
