In addition to wanting to see some places in Burgos, we do need a break. My daughter's feet are pretty sore. Only one small blister on a pinky toe but her heels feel bruised.Just my opinion but why dont you stick with your friends, I know when I look back on great times, it was always who I was WITH, and not where I WAS.
Wow! These are great and specific ideas! I am very grateful for your response. Thank you.! We are heading out now to see the cathedral in Burgos and I will post later on a planHi Brambles - how sweet .. not just that her 14th is coming up but that Mum and daughter are out there together!
It is a shame that you are losing your Camino family.
Two day stages from Burgos would take you to Castrojeriz but that would be 19k and 22k days ... if you do get to Castrojeriz, well, you are on the Meseta and it is a quiet sleepy town, as they all seem to be.
There is a campsite there - a proper campsite with big segregated bathrooms, laundry, and a small restaurant bar. The refugio is a lovely red brick building. It is owned and run by a really nice family. Were you to stay there, and were you to tell the family that it is her birthday I am sure they would agree to do something special for her - maybe a cake at the end of your meal?
It is on the entrance side of Castrojeriz - here their website (and phone number) - the refugio is not big - though they do also rent out small timber bungalows that are really sweet so may be worth booking ahead if you go for it - you could let them know about the birthday girl then and ask them to get a cake in??

I know it is hot! - so may be too far for you but is the only place I can think of where you might be able to organise a treat of some type.
Hope this helps! - a thought ... you could make a birthday post - maybe put up a photo of the both of you on Camino and she would get forum member birthday wishes from all over the world!!
On my birthday, my friend went up the road ahead, and wrote my name in rocks on the path. I don't even know when she did it. They all kept straight faces, It was hilarious, I found it within mins of walking. Then we took a photo of us all standing next to it.Hi again everyone,
My daughter and I are taking a rest day in Burgos today to do some site seeing. Her 14th birthday is in two days on the 6th and I am trying to figure out where to walk tomorrow and the next day to end up somewhere 'nice' on the 6th. Unfortunately I think this rest day will separate us from people we have been walking with on and off who have come to care about her, and now I am a bit worried that she will ne bummed out on her birthdayShe is young after all and these things matter. Any advice for stages and places to stay for next couple of days would be greatly appreciated.

Walk to Hontanas and then the next day walk to Boadilla and stay at En El Camino. En el Camino is a very friendly place. One of my best memories is hearing happy birthday sang in 3 languages at that Albergue.Hi again everyone,
