OK, so planning mode has (finally) begun. Time is shorter than I first thought, so I'm just heading to Burgos and want to take the bus to SDdlS, and walk back over 3 days.There is one bus per day except Sunday from Burgos around 1730 (it may vary a bit from season to season) and returning about 0810 (again, a bit variable). It arrives just in time to run to vespers. Check into a hotel afterward; most are fairly inexpensive and there is no albergue.

So glad to hear that, Margaret, thank you. Looking forward to a few days of old churches and out of the way walking.Glad you booked the Casa Guzman! A few years ago after I finished the CF early in December my husband drove down to SdC to join me and eventually we visited Santo Domingo de Silos staying at the Casa Guzman. It is a pleasant inexpensive hostal with good food, open fireplace and simple comfort. Best of all it is 1 minute from the visitors entrance to the monastery; perfect!
Exactly what I was thinking. But there does not seem to be a way to book online, unless I'm missing something.Holy Week and Easter dates might be busy.

So here's a stupid question, falcon: where to catch this bus--the intercity bus terminal? Or? (I've booked the 11.15 Alsa from Madrid T4 to Burgos)
Option two: Take @alansykes route, which involves walking from Santo Domingo de Silos to Mecerreyes (albergue), next day past the dolmen, the dinosaur footprint and the visigothic church at Quintanilla de las Viñas. Continue to Modúbar de San Cibrián (casa rural http://www.lacercadejimena.com/index.html ) (that's about 40 km, see Alan's wikiloc GPS tracks here.
Ummm. Now that I have it all laid out including a booking at the CR in Modubar de San Cibrian..........now I read the fine print. Feeling a bit idiotic--I'm not normally spacey but had read '40' and thought '30'! It was wishful thinking, because the 25 miles on the Wikiloc track seemed not too different. But it's miles on the map, not Kms...only now looking more carefully....
I have no idea if this is realsitic. 35's been my max walkng, and that's after a few weeks of being on the road. Alan, the wikiloc track says you took almost 9 hours to do this--are you a fast walker?
(I'd say I'm moderate. But last year only the 31 (from Rabanal to Ponferrada) took me about 10 hours. Perhaps I should cancel that CR booking...but would hate to miss Santa Maria de Lara. That's a big part of why I'm going this way. I could do a loop from Mecerreyes, staying 2 nights in the albergue there, if they'll let me...or find a taxi?)
Since the Ruta de la Lana, which is the route coming into Santo Domingo from the southeast, is so untraveled, I can't imagine there would be a problem with finding a bed in the albergue on the day you arrive in Santo Domingo.
