Agreed!Until you take the industrial route you won’t be able to enjoy the river route to its fullest extent... you’re right in track for your next walk into Burgos
Positive spin, I will do just thatThe river route is quite nice, so it's a pity that you missed it. Next time eh?
Yes, I regret going as quick but it’s a learning curve I guessHola @Dougie, dont worry I made the same mistake; took the left turn at the police barracks ok an walked around the airport, however when I reached the N120 I took the "high road" instead of crossing over and following the river. The yellow arrows point up the road not across the road to the river. 27 days is quite quick!
A local directed us to the river path and made sure we all followed. Was a lovely walk into Burgos alongside the river. XHi folks. The long slog into Burgos through the industrial part of town can be avoided according to my guidebook, but I obviously missed an arrow or two because I still ended up on the long road! No great shakes, and a ‘cerveza con limon’ was readily available upon arrival but I just wondered if anybody else found the signage/directions slightly dubious upon entering the outskirts of Burgos by the military airfield?
P.s - I walked in July/August beginning July 7th in SJPDP finishing in Santiago 27 days later and I had the time of my life, I met some of the most incredible people from all over the globe. Thank you all. Buen Camino.
I did the long walk in Burgos also last year but If i did it again I’d join the plethora of pilgrims on the bus. I was told that the industrial walk is not really considered a Camino walk and I have to say I agree with themHi folks.

Call me a faux pilgrim, but my husband had warned me of this so we took a taxi for this last part of the day's walk.Hi folks.

Airport fence on your LEFT = Industrial route
Airport fence on your RIGHT = River route.
