Camino 2013 - Day 10 - 3 December 2013

We departed albergue at 08:00 with a picnic lunch enroute to Burgos. The sky was clear and by midday we were down to shirt sleeves and wearing sun hat. The first section of walk to Atapuerca is through lovely easy walking country but this changed to steep rock covered hills which took all my energy. On top of the range we passed a cross next to the military firing range and then descended into a treeless plain with mining and industry on the outskirts of Burgos. This last 10km is just a hard walk until we crossed the Rio Arianzon and walked in parkland for the remainder until entering Burgos through old city gate. In the evening we all went to pilgrims mass in the cathedral and wandered around the brightly lit Xmas markets.
