Day 12 – Atapuerca to Burgos

April 20, 2017

13 miles (21 Km) The day started very cold, it was 32 degrees when we got up. The temperature did go up a bit, but it was very windy, so it stayed cold most of the day. We left Atapuerca and had a pretty nice uphill, then down hill. Much better scenery than yesterday. After walking through a couple small towns finally got closer to Burgos. There were 2 ways to get into the city on The Camino, we opted for one near the river, which was a bit longer, but worth it. The river was very nice, in a park setting that went on for a few miles before we got to the center of the city. There’s an amazing arch to get to the old part, and past that the incredible cathedral. We had a great lunch and toured the cathedral. Then walked around the city some more. What is wrong with us???
