Gregorian Chants

€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.
The brothers in Rabinal offer a service in the evening and all pilgrims are welcome. It's a highlight of the Frances.
Not on the Frances but nearby are the monks at Santo Domingo de Silos, whose chanting is famous.
If you plan a rest day in Burgos, you can easily go there. Arrive in Burgos in time to take the but that leaves at about 5 - which gets you to SDdS in time for vespers. And then take the morning bus back. Or walk. From there to Burgos is 2 days on the Lana and 3 on the San Olav. The latter is 5-star walking.

Thank You!
 
For the best of the best, give your feet a rest and take a bus ride from Burgos to Santo Domingo de los Silos. World class chants and a marvelous Romanesque cloister as well. Country bus leaves every afternoon from Burgos bus station. Return bus is at 0730-0800 in the morning so it's a two day affair. Every prayer every mass accompanied with the monks singing. A small quiet village perfect for a rest.
 
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

Used to waken the pilgrims at Rabanal with a CD of Gregorian chanting, slowly raising the volume. Told many guests we'd bring in one of the monks from next door every morning - some people are SO gullible - but it's a fabulous way to start the day.
 
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.
A bit of Camino magic for us: a very close friend of ours, Janet, died in 2012. She was the choir director of our parish; my wife was particularly close to her. Janet loved Gregorian chanting. We were walking the Camino on the first anniversary of her death and my wife was very sad, as was I, thinking about Janet and how we missed her. That afternoon, we arrived in Rabanal and learned that brothers there chanted. The service was so beautiful, and cheered us both up enormously. We returned in 2016, and again loved the chanting and thought of Janet.
 
I also recommend the side trip to Santo Domingo de Silos -- it was a highlight of my Camino, even though it required two days off the walk itself. I hadn't heard about it until I was nearing Burgos, and I made the decision to make the side trip, and it was magical. (I was walking with the Chant album on my phone without realizing I'd be walking very close to those same Spanish monks.) There are inexpensive pensiones across the plaza, and if you stay for a day, you can actually go sing with the monks at the earlier services. Transcendent.
 
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.

And don't miss the cloisters!
 
Getting there -- the only Rome2Rio listing is a bus that goes to Barbadillo del Mercado, and then a 20- minute taxi ride into Santo Domingo de Silos. Is there something else I should be looking for?
 
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.
