So I’ve finally committed to walking the France. Purchased tickets yesterday. Iberia had a great price on a round trip Premium Economy ticket from my Charlotte NC for $1000. I depart September 9. I’ll have 19 days and plan walking from Burgos to Sarria. This allows me to hit my favorite parts of the Camino: Burgos, the mesita, and a chunk of Galicia. I’m vaccinated, a healthy 61 y/o, and Spain appears to be a good deal safer than the southern United States. Also, with variants and the global situation I’m not convinced that Covid won’t be an issue for years to come. Time to go start laying out my gear!

best,

Ditto, mine too -- but I'd add Logrono and the walk to Chicken Town.

In Burgos on September 14 there will be a grand religious procession though downtown, with the Cristo de Burgos. Very much worth seeing if you can.

I would love to see something like that. One year I’m going to plan my Camino around festivals and religious holidays. Unfortunately I will be 4 days out of Burgos on the 14th. Thanks for the info though.
