Atapuerca
We left Belorado early at 6:30am and began our long journey of 18 miles to Atapuerca, a small town about 12 miles east of Burgos. The weather was perfect for walking, cool and sunny. It was a long walk with very little accommodations for food or water, so we had to make do whenever we could. About 5 miles outside Atapuerca we entered the small village of San Juan de Ortega. San Juan was a disciple of St. James and his remains are buried in the church. Tomorrow we enter the major city of Burgos with its population of 250,000. What a change from the solitude of the past two weeks of walking. We take a day of rest in Burgos and then head west on our way to Santiago. Buen Camino!!
