13 miles (21 Km). The day started off pretty cold. 30 degrees, but no wind. It did warm up later, so we’re back to shorts weather. We started by walking past the back part of the cathedral in Burgos. After walking for a while through the city we were out in a rural area. We passed a few small towns and were able to get a second cup of coffee. After that we reached the Meseta, a geological plateau that extends for miles and miles, where we will walk the next few days. There is very little shade, not much change in scenery, and the distance between towns is longer, it can be a challenge, especially in high temperatures.
We arrived to Hornillos del Camino, but our hotel is 2 Km away, in the town of Isar, so we walked a bit extra. There is not much in the town of Isar, a few houses, a church, and the hotel where we’re staying. It has a small bar, where the older men in town play cards in the afternoon. Their language is pretty colorful, I don’t think they realize I can understand every word, although I did order in Spanish. 😀
