One week…

It’s been ‘One Week’ on the Camino de Santiago: Day 7 From Belorado to Tardajos, over the ‘Montes de Orca’ and into the big city of Burgos.

The morning ride from Belarado was a real ‘pea-souper’, the cloud was down and it didn’t clear until after the big climb up the ‘Montes de Orca’ from Villafranca. 


After a much needed breakfast stop at San Juan de Ortega I headed down into Burgos City. Entering into the arse end of it through the industrial area, past the laminate floor factory, belching out smoke!…




St.James would have been disappointed I fear!








In the heart of the city I met Mr Waffle Cone 





and enjoyed good tour around the beautiful and impressive cathedral area before heading out to find some digs for the benevolent before the storm struck.



I passed a nice looking bar but was too afraid to enter…






always wanted to learn all the crazy lyrics to today’s track but never managed beyond “Chickity China, the Chinese chicken, 

You have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin”….

top song from those crazy ‘Barenaked Ladies’…enjoy it again here.
