Well, here we are in Burgos, after 5 days on the Camino. We had left Pamplona and walked the heights of Perdun, where we are told, from here on our souls will be healthy for the rest of the Camino.
Looking ahead from the heights towards Ultrega, where we spent a lovely evening at a private Auberge. Amazing food cooked by grandma, included a plate of steamed new vegetables: artichokes, asparagus, broad beans, leeks, peas.
We left Ultrega and walked on a glorious spring day.
A sign read " Spain:the place with many empty houses and many people without houses.". The economic issues of this country have been challenging. Many towns do have new developments, and few people living there. In an attempt to boost the economy the government had created many building initiatives before the bubble burst.
Another bubble burst. Blisters are treated by piercing with a needle and leaving thread in as a drain. This was the first blister on this toe. It now has a layer of old and new....part of the wear if walking with a pack every day.
Estella. Such a lovely place.
Leaving Estella, passing by the wine fountain at Irsche. An old tradition of providing care as and hospitality to pilgrims has become a wine and water fountain. We passed at 8 am on a Sunday, and the fountain wasn't on yet.
