Burgos to Hornillos del Camino

Day 29 Sun 20 Apr
A day off in Burgos. The plan was to watch the traditional Easter parades from our room overlooking the Cathedral. Unfortunately because of the rain, they were canceled.

Day 30 Mon 21 Apr
Leaving Burgos in the cold (5C) morning, low cloud and rain threatening, we made the 20 kilometers to Hornillos del Camino ( pop 69) without getting wet. The path is mostly off the bitumen and quite pleasant – many pilgrims today. A signed poster of the movie The Way hangs on the wall of tonight’s Hostal de Sol a Sol; the owner’s mother was in the movie.
