Camino Francés Day 13: Atapuerca - Burgos
The walk to Burgos was mostly flat, except for a hill just after Atapuerca. There were two route options: a busier city path or a more scenic river outer Burgos route. My Camino family and I wanted to get a pilgrimage stamp from McDonald's on the city route, so we decided to take the river path, then detoured to McDonald's before continuing into Burgos.
The weather was good, though a bit warm for me. We enjoyed our first junk food of the trip at McDonald's. I found that the yellow arrows were sparse once we got into Burgos, so we used an app to navigate. We planned a rest day in Burgos to explore and restock supplies, We booking an Airbnb together instead of an albergue. After arriving at our accommodation, some of us did laundry while others went grocery shopping for dinner. I’m looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow!
