I took a rest day Sept. 27 in Burgos to explore this fascinating city of about 180,000 people. Here is a photo of the crown jewel of the city the soaring Santa Maria cathedral.A craftsman who makes miniatures of everything from churches to butcher shops and schoolhouses. We spotted him in the tiny town of Ages on Sept. 26. Ages was our starting point for our 21 km hike to Burgos. Diane from Australia and Carolyn pose for a photo in front of a mural enroute from Burgos to Hornbillos del Camino. One of the more decorative signs that signal the way for pilgrims to travel along the Camino. Most of the hundreds of signs consist of a simple yellow arrow painted on everything from curbs to buildings to rocks.
Below a sign showing we have only 501 km to go to get to Santiago to finish our Camino. This means we have completed 285 km.
