7 & 8 May – From Santo Domingo de la Calzada to Belorado & Burgos


The landscape started to change after Santo Domingo. Almost no vineyards but instead rolling hills with mainly wheat fields.


A big portion of the trail on this sector is next to a highway. The traffic noise (many trucks) was loud. 

We walked through a number of small towns: Grañon, Ermita de Carrasquedo, Redecilla del Camino, Castildelgado, Viloria de Rioja, Villamayor del Rio and finally Belorado:


On the way we crossed from Rioja into Castilla y León.


Next morning we took a bus to Burgos. There we stayed at the Albergue Municipal, very close to the huge Cathedral of Burgos.

Yesterday was a rest day. Today we start to walk the Meseta, which extends from Burgos to León. I hope the blisters improve soon!!!
