Agés to Burgos

22 km and 4:24 (see map).

A foggy start, but the sun was out within the hour and it cleared to a beautiful day. Nice walking to the outskirts of Burgos, a bit of a slog through the outer suburbs and then back into interesting areas as the old city neared. Quite elated to be here. And looking forward to a rest day tomorrow and catching up with Maria and Manuel’s family.

First stop of the day, for coffee. 10 m from my albergue.

Didn’t see any bounding beasts …

… but there was a flock of sheep a little further along the path (only the second I’ve seen so far – the other was being driven towards Santo Domingo de la Calzada by a shepherd with dogs).

Loud explosions from the military area off to the right not long after I passed this point.

Over the top and down towards Burgos, which is somewhere on the horizon.

Getting close to outer limits of Burgos now.

The road skirted Burgos airport …

… and then I was at the outer edge of the city.

A long walk through the outer suburbs.

Later …

Domestic chores before dinner.

I’ll post some photos of the old town tomorrow.
