Hi
I am currently in Burgos on track according to Brierley. The camino is crazy atm with many people getting up as early as 3 in the morning to ensure they get a bed. The bus station is full of pilgrims hopping to Leon. I am cycling to Astorga starting today so I can experience the meseta but not over 10 days. My question is about the last stages from Astorga to Santiago. One of the group of 3 is not a great walker and the thought of brierley ' s 30 km stretch including crux de Hierro is daunting. Any other ways to break the last 11 days up? Oh and the list of favourite albergues should not be missed. By far they are the best but unfortunately it is a case of book or be quick getting there. Roncesvalles had over 500 pilgrims the night I was there!
