Stacy, we are in Villafria. Looking forward to Burgos tomorrow. We have an easy 18k day and hope to explore the cathdral before moving on to Tardajos. The 30k walk today was a long one. The walking up and over that hill was rough. Views were pretty good. Tell Molly - cat count 31!
Yes. It was worth it. I liked the overall feel of Burgos a lot, also. It was small enough that it didn't feel overwhelming, and it felt like they city had made a big effort to preserve their history.
5:18 I think I recall that stretch, and even went in to a red cross facility for pilgrims to see to my blisters. Unless Astorga has a similar "drive up" coinciding with Camino, for km:s.
I am really enjoying your journey.I plan to walk next year so it's great to see your walk I don't think I could walk 5 km with out breakfast. I might need to buy some snack bars
We did start out with a few snacks in our bag, but we ate them all on Day 3 (into Pamplona) when nothing was open. We usually ate a cookie or two before starting so we weren't starting with nothing. There were a few days when we didn't even have that.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims Don't ask for one in Mexico. If you use the words "tinto y bocadillo" you get red wine and a sandwich in Spain, but black coffee and some piece of cake in Mexico or the rest of Latin America. Not sure whether "sandwich" would be the word in Mexico, not even certain whether Mexico has Spanish style sandwiches. But yes, they were excellent. Jamón serrano for instance.
Hello finally subscribed to your channel and have enjoyed watching the Camino vlogs..Greetings from Vancouver Canada..happy to see tour Daughter is enjoying the Camino too for a cat lol..Please stay safe , happy trails and enjoy..
Thanks for subscribing and welcome. Walking the Camino with Molly was my favorite part - and that is saying something because I absolutely loved the Camino.
Oh wow!!!! I felt the 'shock' of being in a big town after the still of the country. Did you feel that way girls??? Beautiful cathedral. Unfortunately due to time constraints, we will miss the sections from Logrono to Leon. (Will have to go back .. a premature promise lol) Lovely to view it through your experience. 😊
Yes. We felt that same thing - especially in Pamplona and Logroño. We decided that if we do it again, we won't stay in those because they felt too loud and busy. Burgos, Leon, and Astorga felt a little less loud to us. We'd probably stay in those again. At least with Leon, there isn't anywhere close after it that I would want to stay in.
Thinking about missing Logroñ to Leon, I might try to walk either a couple of days past Logroño or the first two days of the Meseta and then skip walking Leon to Astorga. That was a tough stretch from a scenery standpoint. Although, I wouldn't want to miss the city of Leon. It's hard to figure out the best way - it was all good!
Loving following your journey. My brother and I section hiked Pamplona to Logrono in September this year. What month(s) are you travelling in the video?
We are starting in Burgos and going to Santiago. Wish we could do the entire Way, but not enough time. Can you share the name of your hotel in Burgos? Thanks!
Almost everyone that we were walking with (loosely) missed the river route. One lady walked back a mile and found it, but we didn't realize we had missed it until we were too far past.
I love watching Camino series videos. They take me back to my own walks. Man, I need another Camino.
It's never too late. We are planning our Camino Norte currently.
Sorry you missed the turn to walk along the river! Still very much enjoying your blog Stacey which is a daily treat of remembrances!
2:30 Atapuerca seems to be a foggy place!
It had fog when I arrived there too!
The cathedral in Burgos is amazing! So much light in there. I love the glass in the ceilings, especially in the big tower in the center of the cross.
I totally agree! The windows in the ceiling were my favorite part.
I agree that Burgos’ Cathedral is absolutely beautiful. Loved the video! Buen Camino!
Thanks so much! Buen Camino!

I think you are ahead of where we were in the cat count!
The Cathedral looks amazing. Also, we have to know if Molly ever did get her cat. :)
Oh how much I love this cathedral. My absolute favourite, by far. It is a decent compensation for the unpleasant walk through the industrial area. 😅

Misty Mountains... of the Lord :-)))
Be Leon be with ya
Always! Buen Camino!
4:19 It seems the word "Bocatería" on the front, or perhaps "Bocateria" would refer to them serving Bocadillos.
What some refer to as sammidges!
I could use a Bocadillo right now. I love the sandwiches in Spain.

15:05 Did you see the statue of El Cid Campeador? There is such a statue in Burgos.
No, but we saw his grave in the Cathedral.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims Ah, I missed that. Even more important.

@@staceyandmollypilgrims Thanks for the great videos! May I ask how Mollys cat is doing?
I'll show a picture at the end, but .... great!
We are starting in Burgos and going to Santiago. Wish we could do the entire Way, but not enough time. Can you share the name of your hotel in Burgos? Thanks!
It was the Hotel Via Gotica, and we really liked it. Buen Camino and thanks for watching.
52 Euro for your room...that's fantastic.
It really is! That was one of the best values that we had. Wait until you see the 40 Euro room we had in Triacastela.
@@staceyandmollypilgrims I can't wait!! Loving your videos.
@@deboraz455 Thank you. Buen Camino!
Just like us, you missed the river route. The marking there has to improve, because it is not fun to walk for a long time on city streets.
Thanks for sharing your video.
Almost everyone that we were walking with (loosely) missed the river route. One lady walked back a mile and found it, but we didn't realize we had missed it until we were too far past.
What months did you hike?
The end of May and June
🇪🇸❌🇪🇸👑👍
Buen Camino!
