May 18, 2023. Burgos rest day.

After breakfasts we climbed up (and down) to the ruins of the Burgos Castle.

Here’s the view of Burgos from up there.

If you zoom in on the horizon you can see lots of windmills on the ridge.

Amazing bronze relief map of the sites we could see.

Then it was off to explore the Cathedral.

This place is massive and what impressed me most were the ceilings in the various alcoves. They remind me of looking through a kaleidoscope.

After we left the cathedral we checked out a place that was known for it’s hot chocolate.

Intense hot dark chocolate with churros.

Next we spent a few hours in the Museum of Human Evolution. Quite an impressive place and very interesting.

On our way back to the hotel we stopped to visit with one of the pilgrims.

Then back to the hotel for naps, then Happy Hour at 6pm and out for tapas with friends for dinner.

And back on the road tomorrow.
