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…











Tonight’s Albergue was run by volunteers and was lovely https://www.alberguescaminosantiago.com/camino-frances/albergue-de-peregrinos-de-tardajos/

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.
