Burgos to Hornillos del Camino

Once I figured out how to get out of B, I enjoyed a pleasant and (relatively) short walk to H.

On the way out of B I stopped by the Real Monasterio de Las Huelgas (see photo, gate & walls). I made a wish by the fountain and swung back by the cathedral with the thought of going to Mass but I was a bit too late to slip in unnoticed.

I managed to make Mass further up the Way in Tardajos. A delightful service with people of all ages and music provided by a wonderful vocalist accompanied by a guitar. I tripped on my way out of church and startled a bunch of folks. My clumsiness was comic relief for about 15 kids and a few parents who tried their hardest to conceal their laughter.

Walked a bit with another pilgrim on the way out of B. We’d met before about a week ago. It was nice to reconnect.

H is a tiny town with next to nothing to do, see. Perfect for a long day of rest.
