After our Siesta on Tuesday afternoon we were going to go out for a nice dinner but it was raining very hard so we decided to eat at the restaurant in the hotel. It was a three course dinner including a bottle of wine for 18 euros each. I had a seafood noodle dish with 5 large prawns, muscles squid etc that would have been more than a meal for me but that was just the Appy. Anyways finished the bottle of wine (of course you did) and headed for bed.
Took a 10:30 bus to Leon and arrived at two. Have a very lovely hotel in the middle of old town. Three different cities and three totally different atmospheres. Unfortunately they still don’t serve food until 8 o’clock so we’re sitting in a bar waiting for the kitchen to open.
Burgos. Birthplace of El Cid.
Great city fantastic buildings but I found the local business weren’t really interested in the pilgrims. Took me over an hour to find an alburgue. Can’t blame them, pilgrims don’t really spend many euros when passing through. Who’s that cowboy on the horse
Loved Burgos though. 2 full days there were perfect. The guy on the horse was Charlton Heston…erm I mean El Cid.
