Welcome to Burgos!


My decision to spend a “rest day” in Burgos had a few unexpected flaws. I arrived on a Sunday so many places were closed but it was also Spain’s Mothers’ Day so the restaurants and shops that were open were jammed.


Initially, I thought, no biggie, since I’d have the next day to explore but some places like the museums opt to close on Mondays.

It also rained for a bit. I did do a little wandering but much of my time in the city was spent burrowed in bed. (My feet were not displeased with this turn of events.)


I loved this little shop devoted entirely to mushrooms. I wondered if my HOA would permit a bust over my entry.


After the rained passed, it was a beautiful day.


While limited, I enjoyed my stay and a few shared meals with a variety of my Camino family.
