It was a short walk today through the fog into Burgos; it was also very cold. We left as the sun was rising giving some fantastic photo opportunities before we were enveloped by the fog.
It was all road into Burgos and the outskirts were uninspiring. Once in the city the fog had lifted and so did the temperature.
We booked into the albergue before getting lunch and having a tour around the cathedral. Another magnificently decorated church, the stonework is something else. An absolute must visit if you find yourself here.
Tomorrow is the start of the meseta, 1/3 of the way now completed. This marks the end of the physical stage and the start of the mental stage of the pilgrimage. From here the scenery is very repetitive with high temperatures; you need some mental fortitude to see it through.
A lot of people say this bit is boring and opt to take the bus, skipping the meseta…. I won’t be.
