When I feel safe enough to come back to carry out a pilgrimage starting in Bayonne and via St Jean Pied de Port along the French way I am looking to garner information from more experienced pilgrims.
I have already walked this route once and have visited Burgos and Leon separately a few times on dedicated visits.
It is my intention next time to get through these two towns as quickly as I can walk, I don't feel the need to be in them longer than necessary.
To that end I just wonder if anyone has any ideas of good shortcuts through these two cities. I have studied the maps and think that using an extended Burgos Riverside route would actually get me to the Puente de Malatos quicker than going through the "normal" city route.
As for León, not sure at all.
Just for clarification I don't see taking a shortcut as in any way a cheat as pilgrims are likely to walk on whatever route they want to reach their goal, which in my case is the Cathedral in SdC. ( But no taxis or buses)
So I welcome any experiences you may have gathered.
