I plan to start my next Camino (Maseta, Salvador, Primitivo) from Burgos. I want to recover from jet lag the day I arrive, casually explore the city the following day, and start walking on the third day.
I've seen reference to the Monasterio de las Huelgas and their website references reception of guests. I am a big fan of the ideal of monastic life, the communal prayers and the intimacy of communal Masses, and I greatly admire those who live the life. Moreover, it helps make for a prayerful start to the pilgrimage.
Has anyone stayed with the sisters at the Monasterio de las Huelgas for a day or two?
Aside from being slightly removed from the central part of Burgos, is it conducive to use as a base of operations to go exploring for a few hours on the second day?
