Burgos, Burgos

~ Jan Davis

I’m so glad I lingered! 

After a leisurely tour of the espléndido Burgos Catedral (constructed from the 13th – 18th centuries although most of the building was done in the first 22 years), I climbed to the 9th century castillo, and then explored more of the old city.

Now I’m nice and rested and ready to tackle the next stage of the Camino — the daunting and mysterious Meseta, the high plateau that will make up the next third of the journey.

My comfort zone is in the mountains and I welcome their ups and down. But the Meseta, the endless plains of wheat fields and dirt? I must admit I’m a little worried. I can handle anything but boredom.

A few photos from my non-boring turista day:

  3. ha! the true origin of urban planning! how i love gothic (albeit a little creepy) architecture! if i were there with you, i would be looking around for engineering job applications (it’s a requisite travel to-do for me…you just never know!) keep the photo journal rolling….i love it!
