Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 7/10 - apart from the rain a solid day
Fatigue: 4/10 - had an afternoon nap for 3 hrs - it was amazing!
Ease of terrain: 4/10 - a couple of steep hills at the start - then flat and downhill the rest of the way
Challenges: first day with the waterproofs on. Needed to wait 30 mins in the wind and cold for the albergue to open!
đ¶Running out of cash - need an ATM machine. A lot of the smaller towns donât take card. So always good to carry cash with you.
I havenât eaten enough today. Iâm dreaming of buying a whole roast chicken to eat. đ
Highlights: enjoyed seeing street art đšwalking through cute little villages & impressive buildings. Chatted with good people from đșđž & đłđżđđ

đ°Costs: âŹ0.45 banana, âŹ23 food resupply, âŹ10 bed = âŹ33.45
Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 6/10 - if the weather was warmed it would have been bumped up to an 8
Fatigue: 2/10
Ease of terrain: 2/10
Challenges: no real challenges. I didnât wake up till 8am and everyone else had left. I think it shows how tired I was (that was after a 3hr nap in the afternoon as well). No accommodation booked - but playing things by ear. Itâs not that stressful when walking into a big city as it will be easy to find accommodation at the end of the day.
Highlights: the city of Burgos - stunning. The cathedral is something else. Well worth a visit. Also seen lots of street art which I love. The municipal albergue is huge - spread over 6 floors. Iâm on floor 5 (12 bunk beds) super clean and spacious. Nice place to stay. Great location & great price. Still a lack of soap in bathrooms!
