Burgos

[Eddiebee]

I am in Burgos today. I walked in yesterday and took a rest day so that I could look around. The Cathedral was worth the day. I found that there were great markings in places and then there were places where I had t ask for help. I am out by the university and will leave around 5:45 in the morning - still not too light. I am concerned about missing the arrows. Can anybody tell me exactly what to expect when leaving? Does the path follow the road or should I look for a sharp turn into the woods (that sort of info). Thank for your help.

Buen Camino,
Ed

We walked there today. Follow the road oft the left side. There are yellow signs and shells. Look close and if you have time walk to the bar at the Hospital where the bus stopps and ask the friendly owner there. Hope to meet you in my favorite place -the meseta.

I'm in the Hotel Abadia and will be leaving around 6:00 tomorrow. Hope to reach Hontanas before 2:00. I walk slow on hills and you may pass me along the way. My Tilley hat and REI backpack give me away as a North American.

I took a recon tour this afternoon and an find my way out of town.

To everyone who has been so helpful on this forum: I wish I could post pictures, but my internet connection is usually so poor and keeping a written journal consumes what little time I have after the big three (shower, wash clothes, & nap).

Buen Camino

If I have the right Hotel Abadia you are directly on the Camino, when you come to the 'nearly' last houses of Burgos the Camino turns right towards Tardajos, see map here: https://www.gronze.com/etapa/burgos/hornillos-camino in case you lose the way and end up in Villabilla, which was actually once on the Camino, no reason to panic, just follow the road to Tardajos, see https://www.google.es/maps/dir/Vill...b199b82b5!2m2!1d-3.8159239!2d42.3489577?hl=en Buen Camino, SY
