I will be arriving in Burgos to start part 2 of my journey to Santiago on the 3 June.

I will arrive on the 05.20 train from Paris and hope to walk to Ponferrada.

I wonder will I have to find my own way out of the station or will their be a queue.

A queue for what? If you're overnighting it in Burgos, make your way to the cathedral. You'll be able to see lots of arrows & pilgrims there.

Hi Kelly,

What I actually meant was:-

I will be arriving in Burgos Rosa de Lima station at 05.20 on the overnight train from Paris and I wondered if I will be the only Pellegrino leaving the station

Maybe, maybe not. There might be other pilgrims on the train with you, or arriving from Madrid around the same time.

Not sure if you've been in Burgos before, but I think you should head to city exit, if still dark have cafe con leche and then go for your first good day's walk.
I'm sure Burgos fans will say nay, and perhaps jet lagged pilgrims will agree......but hey June 3rd is only mid-week!
So before we check out youtube link, what do you think you might do? Needless to say you're not duty bound.

Buen Camino

( If some official in the station keeps shouting at you "far queue"....it may begin to sound like fack u :? or something worse)

Hi crackmrmac ,

I hope to have a cafe con leche and then start heading for Hornillos del Camino.
So i should arrive their nice and early I would like to walk on further the first day but I dont like what I read or see about that San Boi and that would mean I would have to go onto Hontanas and that is probaly a bit far for my first day. I might just take it easy and settle for Hornillos del Camino.
I have until the 16 June to get to ponferrada so no rush.
I have been in Burgos before I finished my last walk their and got the train back .

Buen Camino
