@C clearly and I finished the Lana in Burgos on Saturday. On Sunday, @Juanma drove down to meet us at Los Trillos for lunch. It’s a bit out of the center but since we were going to visit the Monasterio de las Huelgas first, it was only about a15 minute walk.
For those of you who are meat eaters, I would highly recommend a trip out here. There are similar places in the center of Burgos, because roast suckling lamb is a specialty here, but this was totally non-touristy, and much less expensive than what you would find in the center. There was also a picture of Martin Sheen and his son in the restaurant, so I guess they know how to find the good places too.
Lots of good camino talk of course. The picture @Juanma paints of the Francés (from his situation in Navarra and the Albergue Maralotx) is one of availability and no crowds or bed rush. Just another reminder that we shouldn’t generalize the panic that the May crunch caused!
I had thought I would only want to walk the Francés again in the winter, as @Bradypus has suggested, but now I’m thinking that a late May start might be just perfect!
