Museum of Human Evolution, in Burgos

Hasta el 22 de mayo… ¡visita GRATIS el #MEH! Una iniciativa de la Junta de Castilla y León con motivo del Día Internacional de los Museos.

In honor of "International Day of Museums", the Burgos Museum of Human Evolution is offering free admission. Don't miss this excellent museum which showcases the importance of the Atapuerca site in understanding human evolution. 850,000 years old!

After May 22, ask for the "Peregrinos" discount and a camino sellos.
 
Down bag (90/10 duvet) of 700 fills with 180 g (6.34 ounces) of filling. Mummy-shaped structure, ideal when you are looking for lightness with great heating performance.

€149,-
We really enjoyed our visit in early January of 2019 when we were finishing our volunteer time at Granon and walking as pilgrims to Burgos.
 
The focus is on reducing the risk of failure through being well prepared. 2nd ed.
The first edition came out in 2003 and has become the go-to-guide for many pilgrims over the years. It is shipping with a Pilgrim Passport (Credential) from the cathedral in Santiago de Compostela.

This is the best anthropological museum I have ever visited (and I worked at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC!)

Yes. I built an extra day in Burgos into my calendar so that I could spend more time at this museum. Even when it is not free admission day, it is worth spending a few hours here. There will be many grand churches to see along the camino, but not another great anthropology museum like this one.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-

And, even when it's not free, seniors get a reduced price, regardless of where you come from. AND be sure and ask for the sello - it's a good one!
