The Glorious City of Burgos!

Small, but Beautiful is how I Describe Burgos!

It has one of the most beautiful cathedrals I’ve ever seen. The photo above is a panorama shot of the city from the old ruins of the 9th Century Castle. The castle was built high atop a hill overlooking the valley and the small city of Burgos!

I would say that the recent events of the terror attack in Barcelona have left us all very sad.

It’s hard to go out and enjoy such a beautiful city knowing that another part of the country is suffering terribly and that that pain really stretches across the entire country of Spain.

Burgos is magnificent ! It’s charming, full of history, with friendly people, and tons of history.  It’s a great place to come and rest in and explore.

I was having some ankle pain which was really protruding up my leg and causing me to limp a few days ago when I was walking.

I decided to leave my group and come here for a couple of extra days. It allowed me to enjoy 4 nights of rest and time to really explore the city which I did not have time to do when I was here last two years ago.

Over the next day or two, I will post more pictures from this gorgeous city.  Sunday is the day that we hit the trails again and start hiking across the plains of Spain! Although it is said that the ” rain in Spain lies mainly on the plain”,  at this time of year it’s just hot dry and can be a gruelling place to hike each day.

I’m going to continue to going to the Cathedral and say prayers for this country, and the victims of the terror attack in Barcelona.

I will also spend the next few days exploring things I’ve never seen before in this lovely city!

Total Tracker Steps over the last 2 days = 23,976

KEEP WALKING!
