[AllisonMarie]

Hello! I know I’ve seen references to this route somewhere but I can’t find much. I’d love to find it. Any help?

Follow the green, not the red. Cross the busy road.

I've used this PDF from the Resource section as a guide to the river way into Burgos.

It’s from the WISE PILGRIM APP. Best $5.00 I ever spent. Interactive map shows you IMMEDIATELY if you have strayed off the track.

There are two routes when entering Burgos. They divide after Orbaneja, after crossing over a motorway where you'll see houses and recycling containers on the left. The right route (10.9km from where they divide) has little shade and passes through Villafría (cafés) and an seemingly endless industrial zone. The left route (11.1km from where they divide) follows the perimeter fence of the airport to a village called Castañares (cafés) and a major road which you can cross at the pedestrian crossing to your left. Continue straight through a small park with a children's playground to your left and a basketball court to your right, straight along a small road which crosses a stream and swings right at the entrance to a factory. Continue until you cross a footbridge over a river. Now turn right and follow the path between the river and the road, turning left to pass under the road. Now you can follow the river for a pleasant, shady walk all the way to the city. There's a beach where you can swim (although the water is freezing). This route passes through a little-frequented nature reserve and some people may feel uncomfortable on their own.

I spent the night at the Hotel Asador H.M. Versus in Castañares which I recommend. They served an excellent breakfast and it was the perfect spot from which to begin my River Walk into Burgos! Spending one night in Castañares and one night in Burgos is basically taking a rest day in Burgos with the short and beautiful river walk in between. I too used the app "WISEPILGRIM" and clicked on "Warning: Finding the River Route Can Be Tricky".

Buen Camino!

I took that route. I was totally exhausted that day as I had planned to stop before the airport but found no vacancies. Walking along the River I came upon a picnic table and I said, “that’s it, I can’t take another step, I’m sleeping here.” That’s when I saw the ((Beware of Vipers)) sign. I continued the walk into Burgos.

I recommend it. I walked or biked along there a few times when I lived in Burgos. Very pleasant.
